The Suite life?
We will be paying as our level of play wouldn't even buy us a buffet comp, never mind a suite, and we don't want to risk waiting and trying the $20 (or even a $500) trick to try and get upgraded just on the off chance it might work.
We will be staying for 14 nights, prefer Staying on the Strip and are were wondering what experience people had with Suites in Vegas.
For our budget, we were looking at the Monaco Suites at the Monte Carlo, primarily for its location near to a CVS and the fact its an easy walk to most places we like. We also looked at the Tropicana and the 1 King 2 Room suite.
With the exchange rate what it is, we were looking at spending around $2500-$3000 for the hotel.
Pallazzo is out for obvious reasons.
Any suggestions?
Both are absolutely incredible, with the SkySuites taking the prize as the best suite I have ever stayed in anywhere

You should just take the $3000 and gamble and in a lower-end property they might comp you a suite.
In 2010 we stayed in a 1 bedroom suite at the Mirage. They may call it a honeymoon suite. We were the first ones to stay in the room after a remodel. It was really nice and we got it for under 200 a night. Not sure what current rates are.
Depending on your definition of "suite", you should check out MGM Grand. They have the "executive suites" which are pretty nice. Some people would call it "just a big room" since there is no door separating the "bedroom" from the "living room" but it's a good size. The bathroom is also very large. As long as there is not a major event going on, $200/night average might be reasonable.

The Deluxe King Suite at the Quad (low-end but recently remodeled; I have not stayed there but several people on here are regulars) would cost you right at $2000 for any 2 weeks in August, with a separate living area and other amenities. The best rooms at the Flamingo and Bally's are both in your budget, and premium rooms at Harrah's are as well. All 4 are right in the center of the strip and on the monorail for easy movement. I don't know much about the non-CET properties. There is a Walgreen's drug store on that side of the street, about a block away from Harrah's, if you need access to that specifically (CVS competitor that I personally prefer).
The biggest knock against them is location. They are a block off of the strip. Not far from the back entrance to the MGM but a long walk through the MGM to the strip. You do get access to the MGM pools. There is not much for facilities in the 3 buildings they are in but you have full access to everything at the MGM.
I was going to suggest this to him, but I think its obvious that the wife values a good hotel room. Also very few places ever comp more than three nights.Quote: sodawaterYou should just take the $3000 and gamble and in a lower-end property they might comp you a suite.

Now that is a gamble. What is your suggestion? Check into the regular room and put $3000 through slots and play to you lose it all the first night? At CZR properties that will earn you about 6000 tier credits IF and only IF you are lucky and get a 90% payback. So they you go to the desk and ask for a suite for the next 13 nights thinking they assume you will play the same for the next 2 weeks? And when you dont play the next few days do you think they will let you stay for free??
Same thing on table games. How would you suggest spending the $3000 to get a free suite because they love your play so much that they value you enough for a suite?
And what low end property has a suite that would meet what they sound like they are looking for?
I assume you were joking because there is no way this would work or even make any sense.
I would contact a few AP's and make a deal with them. Feel free to PM me and I can ask around. You would probably have to stay at a few different places, I have no doubt someone could save you at least 50%, maybe more and it would be worth it for them and you. Obviously you would want the security of knowing when you got here nothing would go wrong. You could always have someone you trust verify the rooms. Or book as you normally would and once you are satisfied everything is cool and your set with any deal you made, simply cancel the reservations and pay a (small?) fee.Quote: CroupierMy wife and I are looking at getting a suite when we visit next year.

Quote: JohnnyQHave you checked rates at either of these ? I have stayed at both and liked them both. The ELARA is closer to the strip. I have seen good deals for ELARA in the past on BOOKIT.com.

Ill be honest, and I hadn't considered these. Having previously stayed at the Best Western Mardi Gras (which i would recommend for anyone that drives and wants a cheap friendly place to stay) I just found that as we dont drive and are pretty lazy people off or north strip are not really for us. But thanks for the thought.
Quote: JW17I just stayed at the Vdara last weekend and I enjoyed their rooms a lot. I had a Panoramic Suite. It is non gaming and that is a plus for me, I can get to places to game close enough. Also they have the tram that will get you to Monte Carlo and closer to where you like to gamble.
I think we might have a winner here. Just looked at the room and the prices and it seems like pretty much what we want. Thanks.
The Boss has decided on a Vdara Suite at Vdara. She really likes the idea of a non gaming hotel, and the kitchenette and washer/dryer advertised also appeals, and thinks that room will be plenty big enough for us. So Im going to do what Im told.

lol I know the feeling. I have learned that when you have an idea, you should present it as if it were hers and then she thinks she is picking it. It takes practice but I am getting pretty good at it.
Also, I make sure I let her win a things like and make decisions occasionally where I couldn't care less about the results.
