Which 5 Hotel in LV?

[Meme]

Hi Jokers, new poster here in need of your opinions. Since we play almost exclusively in Reno I do not get comped rooms in LV other than the lower end CET hotels. My husband and I will be going to LV in Nov. and rather than take advantage of the free rooms at Harrah's that are available to us we would like to try something newer and nicer. In the running are: Aria, Cosmopolitan, Wynn, Encore, and Palazzo. We are low rollers who play penny slots and like to drink while we gamble. A nice sports book would also be a plus. We are mid 50's but very young at heart. I am leaning towards the Cosmopolitan because of it's terraces and location but would appreciate any input from you Vegas experts. Thanks in advance for your help! BTW, that's supposed to say 5 Star Hotel in the header, dangit, I think I need new glasses

We've been to Vegas a few times .we ve stayed at several places . I'll list them lowest to highest in order of us liking them .1 is the NY NY. 2 Planet Hollywood . 3 The orleans. 4 Palazzo ..oddly enough the Orleans was very reasonable in price on room and food .

My favorite place in Vegas is Wynn but I think Cosmo might be a great place too.

There are several members who love Palazzo so you might consider that too.

I hope you have a fabulous stay wherever you end up

You have asked the $25k question here. Even though out of the list you have posted, Aria is the only one I have stayed at. We have stayed there probably 8 -10 times and absolutely love everything about it. The rooms are very nicely done, and the beds are the most comfortable you will find. The casino has a great selection and the cocktails are wonderful. Easy access to Monte Carlo and Bellagio to get out and play other MLife casinos. And the food options are great and can fit any budget.

But with that said, I do not think you could go wrong with any one on your list. The Jokers love all of these properties. My only hesitation with being a low roller is that we try to keep our play within the network we are staying at, and with Cosmo being solo, I could not stay there more than a night or two. I like the option of having several casinos to hit up if I am doing poorly at one.

But I know you will have a fabulous time no matter where you pick!

Wow, you Jokers are lightening quick! You have also given me a lot to think about. We don't make it to Vegas very often so Cosmo being a stand alone isn't too much of a concern because M Life doesn't have any properties in the Reno/Tahoe area where we visit 4-6 times a year. I think I might have to do 2 days at a south end 5 star property (Aria or Cosmo) and another 2 days at the north end (Palazzo, Encore or Wynn). It's a tough, and expensive!, decision. Thanks everyone for your thoughts.

Are you going for more than 4 nights? If so then I would suggest splitting locations. Maybe 2 nights at Cosmo and 2 at V/P or Wynn. If not interested in splitting nights, then my vote would be Cosmo all the way.

I love the rooms at V/P but for some reason I never get comps there (even though I do play there almost every trip). It's so nice to have a suite with the extra space, which all of their rooms are. But I also love Cosmo and it's very easy to get upgraded there (paying of course). So if you book the basic room it's likely that they'd offer you an upgrade to a terrace room for a few bucks more a night. Or you could try the $20 trick and see where it gets you. I've been very lucky there with upgrades the last few times, and if you could get the Terrace 1 bedroom suite I'd go that route!! There's truly nothing like having that terrace and sitting out there, especially with the Bellagio fountain view. Last time my friend and I just sat out on ours for hours, listening to our bluetooth speaker and making our own drinks in the kitchen!

I think there's a code floating around for 20% off Cosmo rooms if you're interested, we can try to find it for you.

Cosmopolitan has a better sports book. Hotel is nice but I am early 50s and feel more comfortable at Aria. I personally feel the crowd .. Especially the Marquee club crowd is a little young (and wild) for me. I love spending time at Cosmopolitan but prefer staying t Aria.

The beds are Aria are incredible I stayed in a corner suite (the room just above a basic room) and you have access to a special check-in room -- the "tower suites" check in room. There are a few snacks, coffee and beverages (water and soda) available all day and we took full advantage of it. Love the food options at Aria with some decent lower budget places to more high end places. I like the sportsbook at Aria a lot.

The best thing about Cosmo are the terraces. It has a more hip vibe than Aria. Beds are comfy too, but not as comfy as Aria. Smaller casino footprint but lots packed in. They just built a new sportsbook area but I didn't get a chance to check it out.

Wynn/Encore is the prettiest of the three in my opinion. Just gorgeously decorated. I also really like the beds here. Issue here may be that the sportsbook may not give drink tickets with bets -- I don't know that for sure but I wouldn't be surprised as W/E makes you pay for drinks at the VP bars.

All three have great drinks. As for service, at all three, I find that where I'm sitting is key for how often I can get a drink

I seem to be adding more and more nights to our stay (my husband doesn't know it yet). First two nights will be downtown at MSS, the next two most likely will be at the Rio cause even though it's not comped for Fri. & Sat. during the SEMA convention, it's only $39 a night (plus resort fee). Since we are mainly penny slot players with my husband preferring the new slots and me preferring the older "classic" slots, which casino(s) offer the best mix? If any of you have been to Reno and played at the Peppermill, Atlantis, or Grand Sierra they have a nice "mix" which makes us both happy. We also love to get drink tickets while sports betting for those times when your slotting and just can't seem to find a cocktail waitress

We stay at Wynn after 12 years at the Monte Carlo. I just get lost in the beauty and luxury and options. We live in a small town, so it's another world for us. That being said, I truly loved the location of the Monte Carlo and the fact that it was surrounded by six or seven MLIFE casinos that we could walk to. So I think you really could not go wrong with Aria as your 5 Star choice. We love the casino and visit it every year. Even with the very little play we give them, we still get offers for free or discounted rooms. While I've never stayed there, it seems to be the hotel of choice for many on this forum and will be our next choice if offers dry up at Wynn. I know you guys will have a great time no matter where you stay.
