    For example which ones excel at

    Good value/bang for buck
    Quality of crowd/party scene
    Quality of sportsbook
    Cheap for broke degens
    etc

    I would like to know what I am looking at here.
    Elite Caliber: Venetian, Wynn, Cosmo, Encore, Palazzo

    Good Value: Palms, Rio, Luxor, Hard Rock, LVH, Flamingo

    Quality of Crowd: Depends on if you are looking for club sluts who party hard or classy people with a bit more dignity. Club Sluts = Palms, Hard Rock, Caesers, Bellagio, MGM, Luxor, Treasure Island. Classy = Mandalay Bay, Mirage, Tropicana, Wynn, Encore, Venetian, Palazzo, Paris

    Quality of Sportsbook: LVH, Mandalay Bay, Luxor, MGM Grand, Stratosphere are my Top 5

    Cheap for Broke Degens: Circus Circus, Riviera, Excalibur, Imperial Palace, Bills, Stratosphere, Freemont Street Casinos, Station Casinos

      Good value/bang for buck: MGM and Aria personally I like
      Quality of crowd/party scene: Hard rock, Palms, Wynn, Venetian and Encore.
      Quality of sportsbook: My opinion Venetian, Bellagio and then Aria if you like big TVs but not a big area like Caesars and then off the strip quite a few nice sports books to bet at
      Cheap for broke degens: Imperial Palace, Circus Circus, underneath MGM in tunnels with hobos
      etc

      I would like to know what I am looking at here.

          Venetian is still nice, but not in the same league as Encore, Wynn or Palazzo. Not really even close.

          I love the Venetian. Have stayed there dozens of times. But it's gotten a little dated.

            I hate the Caesers/Bellagio books... not enough seats and too much traffic. They go for quality of the seats over quantity, which is fine, unless its crowded. Then be prepared to stand. I was there during NCAA Basketball Championship Week and every seat in those books were either taken or being "reserved" by some ass. Yeah, for every filled seat there were about 10 empty seats but "no you can't sit there" because the dickwads were reserving 9 of the chairs for their pals. Fuk you you dont own those chairs so if you arent sitting in it I have every right to.

            Give me the layout of Mandalay Bay, MGM, or Luxor, a bunch of rows of seats so it looks like a movie theatre, instead of a damn cluster of roundtables surrounded by armchairs.

                        Bellagio Towers

                        JJ is the SBR king and deserves a flight from Jersey to Vegas first class...with first class accommodations at the Towers.

                          The thing is it was no different than Bellagio... so I ended up taking the monorail back down to MGM Grand where the layout actually makes sense. Do you want your book to be a party/get together or a place for men to wager on sports?

                            Stratosphere is a quality sportsbook? They had the lines written on a dry erase board?

                              Wynn, Caesars, or Mandalay Bay (except not a fan of the location)

                              Still laughing about that Excalibur shit

                              And the Stratosphere sucks unless you're into smelling like a grandmother from 1974

                                      I guess. I walked in there once and there were a bunch of homeless people eating McDonald's sitting in the chairs and the guy in front of me made a $10 dollar bet. Seems like a really bad place to be a high roller. I doubt they'd even take a 2K bet.

                                          Reminds me of when I was at that food court by Planet Hollywood and I went to Del Taco to get some cheap food, and some homeless guy tried to grab one of my burritoes out of my hand. Luckily I stopped him and some police officer that happened to be in there kicked him out

                                            rooms at palazzo is reason i rank it 1 on my list

                                            sportsbook is fukkin ridiculous

                                            worst book in vegas. in a fukkin restaurant

                                            spent one night in there watching a college FB game last year after i met up with a good buddy who moved out to vegas. drink bill was like 300 bucks food fukkin sucks. its just dumb to have the sports book in a fukkin restaurant. fukkin retarded. when i stay there i just go to the venetian book. great layout since the remodel. the red can be bothersome after a while. only complaint about the place

                                              Op is clearly a retard. There are 4 hotels in Vegas I will stay in.....Wynn/Encore, Venetian/Palazzo, Mandarin and Cosmo. All 4 fully comped. Your perceptions of other posters are as off base to reality as the rest of your life views.

                                                I love the Venetian. Have stayed there dozens of times. But it's gotten a little dated.
                                                They recently renovated most of the property. Heard it looks great.

                                                  sportsbook is fukkin ridiculous

                                                  worst book in vegas. in a fukkin restaurant

                                                  spent one night in there watching a college FB game last year after i met up with a good buddy who moved out to vegas. drink bill was like 300 bucks food fukkin sucks. its just dumb to have the sports book in a fukkin restaurant. fukkin retarded. when i stay there i just go to the venetian book. great layout since the remodel. the red can be bothersome after a while. only complaint about the place
                                                  Yeah man, Palazzo's sportsbook is terrible. Don't know why it is highly ranked. Only good for the $50 bettors who want to watch the game while they eat I guess.

                                                                      Bellagio very nice rooms buffet steak house very expensive if not comped. Sports book very nice but always packed. As far as other players bunch of rich people that are not friendly. Drinks come every min as long as you are playing in high limits.

                                                                      MGM nice rooms buffet to small dining expensive here too. Very likely to see celebrity's here and gamble along side of them. Drinks come every 2 mins no matter what limits. Mostly nice people around you and lots of hot women.

                                                                      Excalibur horrablie rooms dining not that great but lots of fast food if budget is tight. Drinks come around every 15 mins. Shity high limit area. Mostly low income people but heard its worse other places. Would never stay there again. Never saw the sports book hated the place.

                                                                      Rio just renovated big rooms not a bad place. Food pretty good for the price also has fast food if money is tight. Drinks come every 5-10 mins. High limit room is okay. Very friendly people to gamble beside very big sports book usually open spots.

                                                                      Hope this helps a little never stayed at to many places. I always stay where its free. Dining will kill the pocket book if you have to pay for food. There's a lot of good value places to eat just grab some brochures at the airport. Good luck
