Stayed in the Paris for a week recently. Seeing your recommendation I conclude that it doesn't matter where you stay on the strip. There is always something, and everything has something... So just go to Vegas OP, you can't really go wrong.
Well I think there is a minimum level of luxury that people can tolerate. Convenience is also another thing you have to factor. I would suggest to the OP to stay at a 4-5 star place, no less. You can find deals all over the place too. here's a good site: http://www.vegastripping.com/vegasdeals/
Going out Sunday but my late booking screwed me on hotel choices, I am now in the Imperial palace. DD
Dood, I thought big brawlers like you could just get a room anywhere? IP is no bueno man. Last time I had friends stay there, they didn't even have AC in the hallways!
