Caesars, Flamingo or Harrah's???
 
We usually stay @ TI, but I'm looking for something closer to Bellagio. What are people's thoughts on the best place to stay (of the three)?????

Caesar's tower rooms are best of the three, but usually the most expensive.

Flamingo has some high floor rooms with great views of the Bellagio fountains. <BR><BR>Take Harrah's out of the equation.

Katie - <BR><BR>Stay at TI - your husband will appreciate it.

I would forget all three of those and stay at the Monte Carlo, which is nicer than Flamingo or Harrah's, cheaper than Caesars, and connected to Bellagio by a monorail.

I had a room on the 24th floor of the Flamingo with a full view of the Bellagio fountains.<BR>Paid $59.00 a night.<BR>We walked to the TI, and personally, we all thought the location of the Flamingo was much better than the TI. I had changed my reservations from TI to Flamingo because the Flamingo was so cheap. Glad I did. The location was excellent!

Not Harrah's. Flamingo is nice...huge. Caesars is a nicer hotel, but of course more expensive.

Everything being equal (which it is not), most every rating scale you'll find will rate your choices as: 1-Caesar's, 2-Flamingo, and 3-Harrah's. <BR>But unless you're looking at a competitive rate on a Palace Tower room at Caesar's, opt for Flamingo.

I have stayed at Harrahs 3 times and have found the rooms to be very nice.

The flamingo is getting pretty dumpy. IMO. I was just there in May and will NOT stay there again. I told my friend who booked us the rooms that as well. She stays there every time for the price and location. I just was so annoyed with the service, rooms, food, pool temp, crowded pool and everything I hope to never set foot in there again. <BR>CP is number one of the choices, do NOT leave out Monte Carlo and Harrahs is actually nice. For me at least. I am platinum and have never stayed at Rio or Harrahs without a room upgrade and they treat me wonderfully. For me I would rather pay a bit more to stay someplace that is clean and has better service. Flamingo is to Vegas what Carnival is to cruises if that gives you an idea what I mean.

My husband and I stayed at Caesar's last year and weren't that impressed. Had to wait forever to get our room. Then when it was a noisy room and we asked to be moved they acted like it was a big deal. Also took forever to get from our room down to the strip.
