Where should I stay? - The DIS Discussion Forums

Okay, all things being relatively equal, which would you suggest?
Rates for eight nights are in the $300 - $400 range.
I don't care whether there's a casino in the hotel or not.
I've stayed in all of them before except the Courtyard, but I trust Marriott quality.

Thanks for voting!

What time of year and will you have a car?? The Orleans is off the strip and is probably the best choice if you have kids with you.

Of these choices, the Flamingo has the nicest pool.

If you are paying $400 for all 8 nights then averaging $50 a night is REALLY good.

I am the only one who voted other. I usally stay here, but it may be out of your price range. But you can look at the place online. It is called the Desert Rose Resort. I stay there all the time and get the most for my money. It comes with breakfast, pool, laundry area, 1 or 2 bedrooms and the sofa is a bed. It is located right behind Hooters and The Tropicana, and you can walk to the strip.

December, so the pool doesn't matter (but probably only Bally's pool and one at Flamingo will be open), yes to the car, no to the kids.

And yes, I was shocked as the rates, too! I got an e-mail from Caesars Entertainment with 30% off room rates in December. I already get great rates from the Orleans based on slot play. Luxor is a special sale. I just can't make up my mind

If it's December, you may be doing Christmas shopping and the Flamingo is a much better location - you are across the street from the Forum shops and near the Venetian and a bit of a walk from the Fashion Show mall. It will be cold and I wouldn't count on any pools being open at any of the properties you are staying at. Are you going to any Rodeo events?
