Which hotel for 1st timer?

I am looking at going to Vegas the last weekend in May. It will be mine and my boyfriend%26#39;s first time there and we are getting overwhelmed at trying to pick a hotel. We are in our 20%26#39;s and trying to find somewhere without alot of families/seniors and thats not too far away from everything (as we wont have a car). Trying to get a flight and hotel for around $500 pp. My friend suggested MGM. Is this our best bet or are there any other suggestions?

PS- Whats the best website for Vegas package deals? Thanks!

Which hotel for 1st timer?

Mirage or maybe MGM.

It%26#39;s best to book air and hotel separate. If you book hotel directly with the hotel, you can rebook if they lower the rates. Usually. Just read the fine print. Most hotels have 48hour notice to cancel without penalty. Weekends are very expensive in Vegas.

Which hotel for 1st timer?

I would opt for MGM or Planet Hollywood. Both are located close to several other properties and generally are younger in clientele. Palms appeals to a younger crowd, but it is off-strip and probably not the best 1st timer choice.

Alot of times you can get the best deal booking your airline direct and then using priceline to get a good hotel price. Check out www.biddingfortravel.com to see what people are getting hotels for on Priceline and you should be able to get a great deal.

Book seperate and look at Bally%26#39;s great room and really ggo prices and in the center of the strip directly connected indoors to the Paris.

Cheers,

I would also recommend booking separately . . . you%26#39;ll usually do better that way.

I don%26#39;t know how much air fare is going to be from Detroit to Las Vegas, but assuming you%26#39;re calling May 23-26 (three nights) the last weekend in May, TI is showing a total of $657 for those three nights--that%26#39;s less than MGM, Planet Hollywood or Mirage and, I think, a good choice for you.

If you%26#39;re calling May 30 - June 2 (three nights) the last weekend in May, rates are even higher.

You might find young fun 20 somethings on a budget at Flamingo or Imperial Palace but the Flamingo is an aging property and IP is a bit shoddy. Fun but shoddy.

Don%26#39;t stay at Circus Circus, Strat, Sahara, Riviera, Tropicana or Excalibur.

I forgot to mention that Flamingo might also be a good choice. Their Web site is down right now. Check their rates out tomorrow.

TI targets the 20 somethings and it%26#39;s a nice place. The pool is lame compared to MGM or Mirage.

Forgot to mention- I plan on staying out all night and recovering by the pool all day. So I would rather have a hotel with a killer pool and a less fancy room? If that makes sense...

Then definitely check out Flamingo.

I agree with coffeemug, Flamingo would be your place, great room, very comfy bed, Margaritaville, great vibe in casino, one of the better pools on the strip, I believe they have 4, 1 is an adult pool, they also have a hot tub. It is centrally located on the strip, so it makes it very easy to get around on the strip, across from CP, view of Bellagio fountains, great amenities in the room, you can check it out on Harrah%26#39;s website which is

www.harrahs.com

click on LV, then hotel(Flamingo) reservation for rates, %26amp; description of the room also you can check out the pool on their website as well plus the restaurants. I think the best part is that it is centrally located, %26amp; has one of the better pools.
