Such a choice of hotels - Help!

Which one would you recommend out of the following - Im totally stuck!

Aladdin
Ballys
Flamingo
Paris
Treasure Island

Are they in a good location? Do you know where I can get a good deal on these?

Thanks

Treasure Island pros: Easy access to parking garage; cons: not as great location as the other properties as it borders the northern end of the strip, pool is very small.

Aladdin pros: big spacious rooms; cons: parking garage is FAR away as they force you to walk through a shopping center.

Paris pros: nice rooms, very central location, food is great here! cons: crowded cluttered feeling in the casino area, having to put up with the pseudo french atmosphere (though some will rate this as a pro).

Personally, I'd take Paris if the prices were all within relatively the same range. Going downstairs to have great food is reason enough for me!

Sally,

If cost is relevant, what are the rates for the above hotels, then i can give you my opinion of what represents the best value. Also, what's important to you... pool, restaurants on premises, location, "newness" of hotel, etc? Is this a family trip, traveling solo, or a romantic weekend away? The hotels in the list you gave are similarly priced, but have quite a different "feel" to them. (but to answer the question you asked, they all are in a good location, with TI being the worst location of the list, BUT not poor enough that i would have any problems staying there).

Also, are you going midweek or will your stay include a weekend, as rates can double/triple on the weekends.

As it doesn't seem like you've gotten rates yet (ie- "how can i get good rates on these"), so how did you pick this list?

Wow, thereuare, I didn't realise there was that much to take into consideration. Well with regards to Location, I would like something centrally, and from what I could gather from reading past posts on this board, they all seem to be a rather good location - is this right? Also, from looking at the web sites they seem to be of the same standard and I have looked at a couple of places for prices and they all seem to be around the $1000 mark that we wanted to spend for the week, and really we wanted to get as good deal as possible. Hope this helps??

Try going to each hotels website. I find a lot of specials out there. Also quickbook.com has come Las Vegas hotels as well as travelocity and expedia

My first pick of those you've listed would definitely be Paris. Second choice would be Bally's. Both of these hotels are right in the heart of the action, although they are all well located. I'd be a little hesitant of Aladdin only because they were having so many financial difficulties and got a lot of bad press.
