Guide to the Best Hotels in Las Vegas
Apr 11th, 2008 by ivnet
Where is the best place to stay in Las Vegas? Actually, if you’re right on the strip you most likely will be walking distance to just about anything you could possibly want. However, it’s the little things that matter when trying to find the hotel that works for you. The best hotel is the one that gives you the little extras that make your Las Vegas vacation memorable. These hotels each have that special something that make them some of the best on the Las Vegas strip.
1. Mandalay Bay – Las Vegas Hotel
I’m in love with this place. The food is great, the rooms are spacious, the pool reminds me of the Himalayas and the atmosphere is all fun. This is possibly the best pool in all of the Las Vegas hotels. It also has some of the best food of all Las Vegas hotels. Have a drink at Red Square or catch a show at the House of Blues.
2. Paris Las Vegas- Las Vegas Hotel
With a center strip location, great rooms and extremely nice people, this Las Vegas Hotel is the perfect place to stay if you don’t feel like sleeping in the gutter after a long night out. I cannot say enough good things about the Paris as it seems as if they try harder to make themselves better than the rest. Dinner at Mon Ami Gabi and then peek out over the Las Vegas Valley from the top of the Eiffel Tower.
3. MGM Grand – Las Vegas Hotel
I love to eat and they love to cook. The casino is huge at over 100,000 sq. feet, they have lions in the lobby, great restaurants and they give you $1000 just for checking in. Well, they don’t really but it feels like they do. All I would say is that you try to get a room close to the elevator because you could be forced to walk a great distance if not.

4. Bellagio – Las Vegas Hotel
I won’t lie, it’s nice. Is it the great place every likes to think it is? It’s expensive, the food is expensive and the gambling is expensive. If you have the cash, stay here, if you don’t, walk through the place and smell the money. If you have money to burn, eat at any of the fabulous restaurants and play no-limit hold em against the pros in the poker room.
5. Monte Carlo – Las Vegas Hotel
You will not find this Las Vegas Hotel on many top ten lists but let me explain. If you have children it’s great. If you play poker it’s convenient. The pool is nice and the rooms are decent and it’s a bargain. Best hotel on the Las Vegas strip if you have kids but you don’t want to stay at Disneyland like Circus Circus or Excalibur.
