Elf if you decide to stay at PH I recommend you use your host and book an Ultra room. My understanding is Ultra means remodeled.

For my last stay there I booked an Ultra Panoramic suite but didn't get it but if you request a non-suite you should fare better.

You may also want to consider Paris, which I like better but in either case you should use your host so they can book you the best room.

CET hosts work throughout their network so you shouldn't need a Vegas property host for your booking.

I can't compare CET to MLife as I have no history with the latter but my 2 cents is Caesars Palace has the best gaming selection for a CET property.
