I suppose I shouldn't get too involved in the discussion regarding prices - if we pick Vegas I'll almost certainly stay at Luxor rather than the host hotel.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

Shit's all sorts of different now.
It's funny you say that because Vegas is such a personal experience - ie, Deb = Bellagio, Matt = Luxor, Aimee= Mandalay when someone else pays otherwise wherever is cheap, that I wonder if getting quotes on just Hosp Suite/Prom Locale and let everyone choose their own hotel is a way to go with Vegas.
Thoughts? I'm not married to it, just a thought.

Bally's and Paris are also "no"s.

I know that I love the stuff center strip. I've had good rooms at Treasure Island and even at Bally's. The Venetian was very nice when I stayed there a few years ago.
The Sahara is one of the last old school casinos still going on the strip, it's up on the north end, but I've gotten many a cheap room there.

Oddly, according to Orbitz, the only 3 hotels tha have rooms that weekend are Circus, Circus, Excalibur, and Luxor. I do not feel that this is correct.

I think hotels only release a certain number of rooms to those sites, so it may be that all of the Bellagio's Orbitz-earmarked rooms are reserved, even if they're not booked to capacity.

I don't think we'd want to have the gathering in Circus Circus in any event. Noisy, kids everywhere but the casino floor itself, I don't remember seeing extensive meeting room/ballroom facilities, and highly insecure parking garage.

insecure parking garage? should we help it with its self-esteem?

Oh gods, no. I'd rather party out in the desert than at Circus Circus.
