Vegas - Bellagio, Paris or Mirage?
 

Hello. Planning a surprise trip for my husband in July. It is for our two year anniversary. This will be sort of a "make-up" honeymoon for us since we had the worst honeymoon in the world (that's another story)!! Trying to find a romantic, yet reasonable hotel. I like the location of the Bellagio, Caesar's, Paris, Mirage area. Which one is the best bang for your buck? Also, can anyone recommend the best show in Vegas? I've heard "O" is a must see. And what about a romantic dinner spot? So sorry for all the questions. Feel free to answer one or all. TIA!!

Would you be willing to stay across the street from the Mirage/Caesar's at the Venetian?

Just do a search here for Vegas, it is one of the most discussed topics on this board.

As for "best show", it all depends on what you think of as best, everyone's tastes are different. What I think is best you might not. Read reviews and make YOUR OWN decision. Likewise for hotels. Look at www.tripadvisor.com and read reviews.

July is going to be hotter then hell, so be aware that you will not be able to stay outdoors much. If you plan on being in a pool alot because of the heat then the Mirage pool is very very nice. Personally I do not like Caesar's (the hotel) at all but that's just me. Bellagio is obviously more upscale then Mirage or Paris but that does not mean it's "best" either ..

Thank you for the help! I would love to stay at the Venetian, but it is a bit out of our price range! Unless you know of any great deals that would be comparable to Bellagio????? = )

You're telling us that the Venetian is more expensive than Bellagio?

Probably, Dukie. Last time we stayed at The Bellagio, I think we paid $129 a night. I get email deals from Bellagio a lot, but not from the Venetian.

I know people used to say if you bid a certain way on Priceline (all suite four star on strip, or something like that?) that you were guaranteed The Venetian. Not sure if that's still true.

The Venetian has been the only five star property to come up on Priceline.
