Any hotel/suite recommendations for Las Vegas in September?

Also, has anyone seen any good shows/been to any good restaurants in Vegas?Any hotel/suite recommendations for Las Vegas in September?
When you look for a hotel in Vegas consider this. All of the big hotels on the Strip are great. The most important things to consider are location, price, and in the summer you want to consider the hotel’s pool area. So, stay on the strip in the center of all of the hotel locations so that you can walk to see all of the hotels and casinos, and all of the free attractions. The best place to stay to do that is in one of the hotels on or nearest to Flamingo Rd %26amp; the Strip. At that corner is Caesars Palace, Bellagio, the Flamingo, Ballys, and the Paris hotels. This link will take you to a map of the strip so you can see ( http://www.vegas.com/lounge/map.html) I am not saying you need to stay in one of these but stay close to them. I do recommend the Flamingo and Monte Carlo hotels if you are looking for a good price, location and pool.





The next thing to consider in picking the BEST place is price. Rates go down in the summer (and again after Thanksgiving, until about mid-January (except new years eve when prices double)). When you go in September the prices will likely still be very reasonable because of the time of the year and because of the traveling slump in Vegas. So pick a place that has the best price for you. Caesars Palace, The Wynn, The Venetian, The Palazzo, and Bellagio will cost top dollar all of the time (like $150 and up) per night during the summer. The Flamingo, Ballys, Monte Carlo, and some others you can get into for around $100 (but most times for less) during the low seasons. Its also more expensive in all Vegas hotels on Friday and Saturday nights by $40 to $60 more. So to get a lower rate plan to go to Vegas on Sunday and stay through Thursday night.





In the summer, even in September, you probably want to spend some time at the pool areas, which in Vegas are fabulous. All of the big hotels have great pool areas. But the Mandalay Bay, and Monte Carlo hotels have a wave pool and a lazy river for tubing or body floating. The MGM hotel has a huge lazy river and a water fall. The Flamingo has a water slide (not big but nice and refreshing) and also a water fall. The pools at Caesars and Bellagio are good because they have multiple pools and plenty of places to sit. Caesars even has a topless pool areas called the VENUS POOL.





I have stayed at Mandalay Bay, Excalibur, Paris, MGM, Monte Carlo, Bellagio, Caesars, the Rio, the Flamingo, Ballys, and Harrahs. But the BEST place for me when I go is who has the best price. Again, all of the Strip hotels are great. So shop the web sites, look at the hotel rate calendars, and go when the price is the lowest. That's the best place to stay on the Strip.





Several of the hotel web sites will actually give you rates for the dates you select at their partner hotels. So, for example, if you check the web site for the MGM it will also give you rates for the same dates at partner hotels including Bellagio, Monte Carlo, and the Mirage. So you can check many hotels on just a couple web sites.





You can probably get lower priced rooms at the Circus Circus, Sahara and Rivera on the north end of the Strip, the Tropicana on the south end, and also at the hotels on Fremont Street. The Tropicana is one of the older hotels that has not been renovated like many others;its actually in bankruptcy right now. The other locations will place you a long way from the center of the strip action and you’ll have to take a bus or taxi to Strip action. In addition, if you need to run to the room for a little R%26amp;R, it’s a long ways.





SHOWS





If you want to see a production show, I recommend the show at Bally's, ';Jubilee'; and the show at the MGM, ';KA';. I have seen the show at Bellagio, “O” also but I think KA is a better show. I have also seen the Folies Bergiere at the Tropicana but I think Jubilee is better. These will cost about $100 each; that's the going rate for production shows in Vegas now. I also suggest that you buy tickets online before you go, particularly if you want to see a Circ d Sol show. You can try for discounted show tickets at a booth in Fashion Show Mall and in the building with the coke bottle, look for Coke World and the M%26amp;M factory. They are same day tickets sold on a first come basis. I have never done this but see people doing it.





If you are in Vegas as a couple, you will be stopped many times by folks in a number of hotels trying to offer free stuff in exchange for listening to time share presentations. They will get on your nerves. But if you don't mind sitting through a time share presentation you can get free show tickets or some cash.





You can see most of the stuff on the Strip by walking, so you don't need a rental car. There is a free monorail between Excalibur, Luxor, and Mandalay Bay. The one on the opposite side of the street which runs from the MGM to the Hilton you have to pay to ride. There is a free bus between Harrahs Hotel to the RIO Hotel that runs every half hour. There is also a free bus that you can get outside the Bills Gambling Hall Hotel (formerly Barbary Coast Casino) that will take you to the Orleans and some other off strip casinos.





Plan which hotels/casinos you want to visit each day so you can make the most of your walking and the free monorails and scuttles. When you get to Vegas you will probably have in your hotel room a free guide to the city called either ';What's ON'; , “Showbiz”or ';Las Vegas Today';. These are helpful guises as they have a map of the Strip and city with the hotels marked, current hotel shows and prices, plus useful coupons. Some coupons will give you a free souvenir from certain hotels; you just have to take the coupon to the hotel. They also list hotel restaurants and buffets time sand prices.





Do join ALL of the players clubs because they are your ticket to lower priced return trips. The hotels will email you, or send by regular mail, specials on room rates and shows. The players clubs are free; all they want to see is your driver's license. You can join some of these clubs online before you go.








All of the big hotels have 5 star restaurants where a jacket is required for dinner and the menu does not have prices on it. I always skip these because I don't have that kinda money. The hotel coffee shops and buffets ( where I usually eat) are now much more expensive than they were years ago. So, if you want to eat for less go to the food courts located in many hotels and also for breakfast try one of the several Denny's restaurants on the Strip (one in the Casino Royal hotel/casino). There are also a number of McDonald, Burger King, and other fast food places on the Strip. You can get breakfast and dinner buffets a few dollars less at the Imperial Palace hotel/casino and at the Gold Coast hotel/casino. Buffets also cost less at the Circus Circus hotel/casino and in Fremont St hotel/casinos. There is an Outback Steak House in the Casino Royale Hotel. There is a Cheesecake Factory and a Planet Hollywood in Caesars Forum shops. There is a Margeritaville in the Flamingo hotel. I recommend Tony Roma’s, a ribs and chicken restaurant; one on Fremont St and another on Sahara Ave near Paradise Rd.





Any hotel/suite recommendations for Las Vegas in September?
Vegas is a great choice for a vacation!





however, choosing a place to stay at, depends on your budget, or approximately how much money your willing to spend.





I would recommend.. The Bellagio! Located in the center of the Strip, opposite Paris. They have many choices of suites and definitely have a lot of restaurants that are affordable.In their lobby, they have a designer chocolate confectionery which features hand made chocolates and milkshakes.





Another great place is to stay, if your willing to drop a lot of cash is, ';The Wynn';. This Hotel and Casino is one of the most expensive on the strip, but i'm sure you will get your money's worth.


It features a private golf course





When it comes to shows, it all depends on personal preference.


every casino/hotel will have several shows playing simultaneously at different times of the day.... and night.


it also depends on who you are going with, because most shows at night are not suitable for children. however, during the day, there are many shows (like magic shows) that children will enjoy.





I hope this was helpful, and please contact me if you have more questions, because i visited vegas a year ago.

I've stayed at Tropicana (which is kind of ghetto), Monte Carlo (I liked a lot! Good Price, and the staff was very friendly), and Treasure Island (very nice Casino, nice room, also liked a lot!). I went to the V the Ultimate Variety Show and it was awesome! It's at Planet Hollywood, I think they have 2 shows a day. It has a variety of acts such as comedy, magic, stunts, juggling, and more!
Our favorite hotel is the Mirage great, location, great pool, nice rooms and amazing staff. It does not cost as much as many others there are good offers on Suites and Rooms at the minute. http://vegasuncovered.wordpress.com/2008…





Our favourite resturant is Eiffel at Paris but its pricey Peppermill ois our favourite cheap eat and Voodoo at Rio has the best view and good food without breaking the bank.





Mystere is our favourite show at TI we think out of all the Cirque shows it has the biggest wow factor. I think you will be tere slightly too lat to get the 35% discount that they are offering http://vegasuncovered.wordpress.com/2008…
My suggestion is





1)';Stay on the Vegas Strip';


2) Book directly from the hotels using their discount promo codes to get the maximum discount and freebies. Here are a few promo codes. http://www.lasvegas-how-to.com/special.h…


3) Book as early as you can.


4) Look for deals at MGM Grand, Mirage, Monte Carlo and Luxor


5) Eat at the buffets. The food is reasonable and good. Here is a list with prices: http://www.lasvegas-how-to.com/buffet.ht…
I would take a hotel on the Las Vegas Blvd. Personally I really like MGM, Mirage and TI. These hotels have great pool areas (MGM pool scene is very good) where I had a lot of fun every time.


Have you checked http://www.vegas-hotels-online.com ? You will find there the latest Las Vegas hotel promotion codes.
MGM GRAND is awesome its well located on the strip so you can get out and see everything. Do some homework on the food side before you go some of the buffets are overpriced and not great quality. Any Cirque show will amaze you they are incredible.
yes the Venetian it's definetely the nicest one by far
hm vegas rocks i used to live by it... i would probably stay at the mirage if i were you
