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.

Ah! Got it. Good point.

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.

You know what'd help?

Validation.
