<p>Here is a good map:

<p>^^ That’s kind of cool that there’s a planned extension of the monorail to the airport.</p>

<p>My H attends an annual business conference that’s held in Las Vegas. I’ve gone with him two times in the last three years. We’ve stayed at The Four Seasons (which is the top four floors of Mandalay Bay Hotel We’ve also stayed at The Wynn. Both were very nice.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I heard Wynn is one of the most expensive. I saw on expedia.com the rates are insanely low for the average hotels in the Strip. Those places must have been hit hard with the recession. I’m thinking of staying at the Venetian or MGM Grand or Bellagio. Does anyone have a list of shows and their location / price? Thanks a bunch</p>
<p>Bellagio has “O”…it’s the most expensive… $93-$150 + tax and “convenience fees” (if ordering on-line)
[Cirque</a> du Soleil - Bellagio](<a href=“O Bellagio - Theater Production | O by Cirque du Soleil Bellagio - Bellagio Hotel & Casino”>O Bellagio - Theater Production | O by Cirque du Soleil Bellagio - Bellagio Hotel & Casino)</p>
<p>Venetian has “Blue Man Group” and “Phantom”…tickets are slightly less expensive than “O”</p>
<p>MGM has “Ka”…one of the cheaper Cirque shows…you can also try “Mystere” at Treasure Island (it’s the oldest show and usually the cheapest).</p>
<p>Just search online.</p>
<p>I’d stay at Venetian or Bellagio over MGM. I don’t like MGM - too large.</p>
<p>I like the Venetian (LOVE the restaurants there, Bouchon et al). I just got an offer via E-mail for $68 a night on selected dates from now till November. I think it is thru their “players card” which I filled out at my last stay, you might be able to fill that out online. We generally stay their or Mandalay Bay, but prefer the Venetians locale.</p>
<p>ucsd…“relaxed” is the nicest way I’ve heard the way the Vegas crowd dresses!
Agree with musicamusica…I’ve stayed at the Hotel at Mandalay. Great hotel but it is pretty far down the strip. Venetian or Bellagio or Caesars is more central.</p>
<p>I like Venetian too. But it’s slightly more expensive than the others. I thought the Venetian is bigger than MGM. Isn’t Venetian the largest hotel in America?
[MGM</a> Grand Las Vegas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MGM_Grand_Las_Vegas]MGM”>MGM Grand Las Vegas - Wikipedia)</p>
<p>^ That is true…with the Palazzo, the Venetian is larger than MGM. However, the rooms are distributed among several towers versus being pretty much contained in the mammoth MGM building.</p>
<p>I like Venetian’s location better. However the Venetian pool is lacking…elevated on their podium level with too much concrete and not enough shade.</p>
<p>MGM pool is good but be prepared for very long treks to and from your room.</p>
<p>It’s kind of funny I just booked my room at the venetian. However, today I checked the price and it went down $40. Is this common for other places or just Las Vegas? I’m going to cancel my reservation and wait till it goes down again or book at the $40 lower price.</p>
