A suite at Bally's, Venetian or Mandalay Bay?

We are planning a big girls weekend and have found suites at all three. Venetian appears to be the nicest, but Bally's has the most room for the least amount of $. Mandalay Bay seems to fall in the middle.

Help!

Seeing how you specified that you're all 'big girls', just how much space do you need for this 'big girls weekend'?

Depends, obviously, on your budget and luxury requirements.
Venetian has the best rooms of all three...by a longshot. But the upgraded suites at Venetian (larger than the standard suites) are pretty expensive. A standard suite sleeps 3.

Mandalay is next nicest on your list. poorest location for strip access.

Bally's is just an average LV hotel, and cheapest of the three with the best location. If you don't need luxury digs, that's your best bet.

Shelli did you find the suite prices by calling the hotels directly? Am also planning a girls weekend.

We were in Vegas in April staying across the street from Bally's. There were steel panels falling off of the building. We met 2 woman who were staying there and said it was awful. I would choose the Venetian or the Bellagio. Both are in great locations and around the same price.

I've stayed at the Venetian and loved it. The room was very spacious. Make sure you make arrangements directly with the hotel. Also, if you check online, you will notice that the prices change everyday. They are also a different price for each day of the week.

Have you checked the Monte Carlo? It is very nice, as nice as Mandalay Bay, and reasonably priced. If price is not a factor, the Venetian is incredible.

Sorry, but in no way (except price) is Monte Carlo "as nice as Mandalay Bay".
Restaurants? MB has the second best selection in LV.
Rooms? MB is in the top 5, MC not in the top 10.
Pools? MB is tops in all of LV.
Casino quality? MB hands down over MC.
These two hotels are in different leagues.

Haave to agree with Vic.
MB ahs a great selection of restaurants and clubs. The casino has high ceilings, and the air is actually SMOKE FREE!!!
Great pool area. Only drawback is the location , otherwise fantastic casino hotel.
