Where should I stay on the strip?  Want relatively inexpensive, easy access to everything, first time in Vegas

You can find the nice places pretty damn cheap depending on your timing.  A lot of times it's just a matter of $20 a night to go from Harrahs to Caesars which is definately worth it imo.  We stay at Caesars most the time because it is central and nice and you can usually find a good deal.  The new City Center is also fairly centralized and brand new.  Aria and Vdara are their hotels that are open right now.  They are just opening and are pricing really aggressively because MGM is Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) and are cannabalizing themselves.  Only one of them has a casino but they are all connected.  Start checking here from time to time until a good code comes up for where you want to stay:

Rick Daris found us an excellent code for Caesars at VegasPAK.

Avoid the ones that say "Saul sucks a bag of hot dicks" on their neon sign, other than that you should be good bro.

I wouldn't stay at any of the super cheap ones.  Like, don't stay at Imperial Palace even though you can probably get a $30 room.  I will list where I would or wouldn't stay:

Would always if I can get a decent rate ($150 or less a night, ordered by niceness):
Wynn (Not centralized)
Encore (attached to and same as Wynn but newer)
Bellagio (Very central)
Palazzo (attached to and same as Venetian but newer)
Venetian (Palazzo and Venetian are next to the Wynn and are pretty far Noth Strip)
Aria (City Center, brand new, good central location)
Vdarra (same)
Caesars (kind of borderline not nice enough to be included with these others, very central, our go to)

If you get a ridic good rate ($75 a night, ordered by niceness) I would stay here:
Mirage (pretty centralized, next to caesars)
Signature (nicer attched MGM property, kind of sout end of strip but not extreme)
Mandalay Bay (Far south end of strip, has a monorail that sometimes is running to get you as far north as excalibur, ridic. pool complex)
MGM (humongous, get tired walking through here, they have lions, great food for not being uber-elite)
NYNY (meh)
Luxor (not very nice at all and far south but you can find ridic $40ish rates sometimes, shares monorail with Mandalay)
Paris (do not like but have stayed here, centralized)

Don't stay (lots of these shouldn't even be considered on the strip they are so far away and lots are just disgusting and smelly):
Ballys (no way)
Bills (have stayed here, kind of interesting to try, centrally located, weird)
Casino Royale (wut?)
Circus Circus (far away, disgusting, weird)
Excalibur (though chicat likes it for some reason)
Flamingo (not terrible and has a nice pool but)
Harrahs (meh)
Hooters (not even really on the strip)
Imperial Palace (centrally located and extra filthy)
Hilton (not even on the strip)
Monte Carlo (smelly and old)
Planet Hollywood (maybe nicer now than it used to be, don't know for sure)
Riviera (shouldn't even be called on the strip)
Sahara (same)
Stratosphere (same, also weird)
Treasure Island (borderline could be on the middle list but it's weird so it goes here)
Tropicana (though I think they just did a massive remodel so maybe nicer than it used to be)

Until VegasPak, all my prior stays had been at places on sd's Don't Stay list except for the Westin.

Which place has the hottest hookers escorts  ?

[ChiComCat]

Not saying I like Excalibur, just saying if you want to stay somewhere dirt cheap (because who is in their room longer than 6 hours to sleep anyways), Excalibur is on the strip and has a nice pool.  I would def leave it in the lower tier and wouldnt make a ladyfriend stay there, but if it is exceptionally cheaper than the higher groups, it has its merits

Will be VEGAS the week after Labor Day. Any idea if the euro summer league will still be there?

Ohhhhhh shazbot! yea

ya, it's huge. Has a great selection of good restaurants.  Kind of South side which is the lower end side but still fairly central.  Pretty long walk to O'Sheas which is where you will be spending most of your time.

100% off those times rates were higher than they are now though.  This is the golden age of going to Vegas for basically free.  City Center assured us of this right for some time to come.  It's glorious.

I havent been since the city center opened and like the idea of staying there.  Am I right in assuming this will be a bros trip? 

And I use will be because this crap is happening

A) ya, mrs. dave isn't going if that's what you mean
B) I am initial planning stages on this and am going to need sdbro to get back from mexico in a week to discuss details and make a solid confirmation
C) I noticed Trim didn't give a huge confirmation that he was in when he posted in the thread, weird
D) I don't have to stay in City Center but just thought it was an intriguing option because they are having a fire sale to try to fill the place
E) We may have to hash out details at SW KS 4th of July PAK because sdbro won't be back for awhile and I am going to have a commitment from him

I just meant would it be akward if I invited person sans-penis (for her or the group, I am assuming this maybe the case or at least it would be less fun if I did).  SWKS pak/vegas planning comission it is.  We can peer pressure Pexican into joining in there (don't tell him I said that).

Shows I liked were Penn and Teller, Cirque De Soleil, and like I posted earlier - Purple Reign.  Foodwise, I heard Rubochon is really good but have not eaten there.  Too see?  Just walk the strip and hit all the casinos some afternoon, you'll see some cool crap if you've never been there before

Meh, I'll probably not either.  I can't imagine bringing one without too many rules being brought along with her. You and your hatred of womankind talked me out of it SD
