There are some strong deals out of Dublin if your willing to do a stopover. Over 50% reduction compared to London direct. I fly in from the UK too (London based) so feel your airfare pain!

I've stayed at LINQ, Caesars Palace, Planet Hollywood and Cosmo. I really like PH, not the standard of room but the casino is fun. LINQ is cheap and you get what you pay for but it works. Not a fan of Caesars, casino or hotel but the best of the CET comped rooms. Cosmo is by far my favourite, got 4 comped nights coming up in May in a premium terrace studio which I'm looking forward to immensely.

 

I agree with Newmans, love the craps dealer and pit at PH.

Stayed at, no longer there, Hacienda, Stardust, Imperial Palace, Hilton, Fitzgeralds, Sands, Showboat, Riviera, Westward Ho, Silverbird, Sahara, Aladdin, Marina and Paddlewheel,

Still there, Luxor, NYNY, MGM, Tropicana, Cosmo, Planet Hollywood, Paris, Bally's, Caesars, Flamingo, Harrah's, Mirage, TI, Venetian, Palazzo, Wynn, Golden Nugget, California, Main Street Station, El Cortez, Circus Circus, Sunset Station, Fiesta and Sam's Town.

 

I've stayed at almost every hotel on the strip. Aria has the most comfy beds.

Best stay ever? Beejay getting letting me stay with him in a Bellagio penthouse. Their are other good reasons why that was the best room ever. But we don't talk about Fight Club.........

Best standard room? I'm not sure if Augustus Tower at Caesars is standard but those are my favs and I take them when they comp!

 

My favorite room I've ever stayed in was the Hardwood Suite at the Palms for high roller buddies bachelor party. However, like @Gaggles said we don't talk about fight club...so while sleeping on a Murphy bed on a basketball court was not the most comfortable, the party for the weekend and the amenities of the suite made up for it!

Top 3 that I've got comped and stayed in were...

-Terrace suite at Cosmo
-petite suite at Caesars
-Cromwell room over looking fountains

 

I just booked 4 nights in a Laurel Premium room at Caesars with strip view. Anyone been in one of those before?

 

A Laurel room would be in either the Agustus or Octavius tower. I think a strip view would make it the Agustus tower room.
It's a very nice room, with lots of space.

 

It says 650 square feet, which is the size of my current apartment, so yeah it should be quite roomy! First time at Caesars so I'm excited.

 

It's a big property and my usual complaint is how everything is spread out and a lot of walking. Diamond/7 Star checkin is right at the Agustus tower. You can take a shortcut to the pool by going around the back way. Try Qua. It's one of my fav spas.

 

I agree 100%. But damn do they sleep hot (or is it the sheets etc.?). Gotta crank up the (lame green) AC every stay.

My favorite: Wynn...followed closely by Encore, Cosmo and Aria

Where I've stayed:

Boardwalk (first trip)
Caesars Palace
NYNY
Imperial Palace
Flamingo
Barbary Coast
Paris
Bally's
Treasure Island
Venetian
Wynn
Aria
Hotel 32 (Monte Carlo)
Encore
Mirage
Palazzo
Bellagio
Cosmopolitan
Delano
Some ghetto long-term joint across from Orleans when US Air fucked me and I wanted to make sure they had to pay for my hotel rather than use up a comp.

I've also booked rooms for friends/family but never actually stayed at Planet Hollywood and Monte Carlo.

 

I've stayed at:

NYNY
MGM
Tropicana
Treasure Island
The Mirage
Cosmo

I think by far for me The Cosmopolitan is the very best. I usually get comped into a Terrace one Bedroom suite, and with a fountain view its killer!
If I'm taking the family I will usually stay at MGM though since the crowd there is not as young and party like Cosmo.
