Las Vegas Hotel Advice
Heading to Las Vegas in January and need some advice on where to stay.
1.Quad (Cheapest and central location) I know it had a bad rep as the IP was wondering if anything has changed.
2. Flamingo (Also central location) Older hotel
3.Ballys
A little info to plans will probably playing mostly at the Venetian, Bellagio and Caesars during my stay and definitely a poker trip except for one day. Mostly playing cash but will try a tournament or two during my stay. Just looking for a place to sleep that is clean not interested in fancy or what it has to offer other than a place to get some sleep between sessions. Any other info/advice would be welcomed.

When are you going?
I'm going to be staying at Aria Jan 11-14. I got a great deal- my friend has a room for a convention so it's free for me!

We just did the Wynn for 6 days 5 nights in late November for $650 taxes in per person, including flight. When you look at that versus say $550 for a 3-4 star, why bother with anything less?
Where did you find that wynn deal?:o
just checked some random dates for a 4 day trip in Jan... compare quad - which was OP's # 1 pick - to the 5 star Aria Resort with a SWEET new poker room and a bed that will un-tilt anyone.... for what like... 12 bucks a day more.
Most flights from Detroit are direct whereas Buffalo most flights have at least one stop. Personally its a long enough flight without adding stops on top and I always go direct from Detroit. You can almost always do better booking hotel and flight on your own than using a package.
As our own little Vegas veteran now, jacnok, will attest, it is worth it to make a trip to Caesars Windsor in advance and pick up a players card if you don't have one and use it when booking your Vegas hotel. You will cut prices by at least half, if not pick up some midweek comped nights.
I've stayed at a Monte Carlo suite, Rio suite, Treasure Island, Stratosphere, etc., but if it's just to sleep and play poker at Venetian, Bellagio and Caesars, then I would have no problemo staying at IP/Quad again.
This time around we are flying out of YYZ because our rooms are free and it's costing us 550$ all in return.

Aria is close enough for the rooms we will play at. Obv Aria but also Bellagio and PH.
I never understood people's reluctance to stay anywhere south of Bellagio. For me a 15-25 min walk pursuing an otherwise lazyass game is worth it.

I fly out of Buffalo all the time direct. They usually have 2 nonstop flights a day, and they're cheaper than the flights with stops.
I've stayed at TI and the Quad in the past. If you're degening it up and just want a cheap sleep and shower, Quad is just fine. TI is much nicer, quieter, and has super comfy beds.
Excellent choice, given that criteria. Say Hi to Frank the Dealer for us.
My favourite cheaper place to stay is The Flamingo. Great location and if you upgrade to the GO Rooms or whatever they are now called with a strip view it is a very nice place to stay. The standard rooms are not very nice.
Booked as part of a package was cheaper this way, however if you book direct in the $30-$35 a night range. Can pickup for $20-$25 a night during the week through some of the discount travel sites.
