I would stay at the Bellagio or the Venitian, because I like their locations.

I'd choose Wynn, because of its rooms and because of the quality of its restaurants, casino, and pool. It's a huge hotel like the rest, but feels more intimate. Its layout is more compact and easy to navigate.

Wynn's major drawback is location. It's north strip, which is a problem if you plan to do a lot of walking between hotels. Of course, even with a center strip hotel you'll have to do a lot of walking, but it won't be so extreme. If you generally take taxis, this is less of an issue.

My second choice would be Bellagio. It has a good set of restaurants, and a near perfect location.

I don't particularly care for the Venetian (it feels cavernous and cold), and it's also north strip - not as far north as Wynn, but still inconvenient.

Signature at MGM would be my last choice, because it's way too far south for me, and I'm not especially fond of MGM Grand's facilities (with the exception of a couple of great restaurants). I find I gravitate more towards center and north center.

Did you try Caesar's? They have some pretty amazing suites, especially in the brand-new Augustus Tower...

HI..
When are you going?
I stay at the Wynn alot and I get deals for a resort room for around $119 a night..(I just stayed there last week)
If you have a Red Card with them you are on their list of cheap deals and play for free..
I like the Wynn because it is newer than the others you mentioned and the restaurants and the overall feel of the place is stunning..
The beds are heavenly and the duvet cover is 400 count and fab..
We always do the 2 Queen Beds (resort room) overlooking the Golf course on the 50th floor..(there is major construction going on the strip side) and I see it for under $200 and the floorplan of the Panaramic isn't that much bigger except it has 2 chairs..not worth it for an extra $500+..save it for food, shows and gambling..
As far as being off the beaten path on the North end, for one it is too hot to be schelping to and from a casino when I can hop into a cab for less than $5 bucks and we can party and not worry about driving..
A friend of ours is a whale over at the MGM and he likes it at the Mansion but of course he gets his room and meals comped..
Another friend just dropped about $700 a night for a Suite at Bellagio and he likes it there but he wanted to get into the Wynn but it was sold out..
I have seen some great deals on Expedia and also going direct:
Is that $758 direct with the Wynn?

Have a wonderful time and make sure you go to Boulud's, Alex and Okada.
I forgot to mention that the pool is fantastic and you have to show your room card to get in so it keeps some of the pool crashers out..

we have stayed at the Bellagio - lake front many times. Love the hotel, the spa is great and the restaurants superb.The pool is also beautiful. Steve wynns best design by far. Also have upgraded to a suite when available. The location is better than the wynn.

We're going after the September deals are mostly over, arriving 9/8, so the cheapest I find for the Wynn on that date is $299/night for a resort room.

I hadn't thought of Caesar's... their suites do look very nice.

Wow, I had no idea the rooms are so expensive!

I would check the prices at Ceasars. It is right next to the Bellagio. The location of these hotels are the best. If I had to choose, the Bellagio is my favorite. We stay often, but have not paid for a room since our first visit.
