Box,
Funny thing about the Palms, they have the loosest slots in town and they bus in seniors during the day, so don't be surprised if you check in and see a few hundred grammas owning the slots. They are usually gone by 5 PM and the young crowd starts to filter after that. Rain has basically died because of Moon/Playboy club, so do not plan on going to Rain. Ghostbar ain't what it was either but still gets a decent crowd.
I find Hard Rock to be swamped with dudes, especially circle bar on a friday or saturday. Sports book is also very small. But nothing beats Rehab (Sunday Pool) in terms of sheer debauchery, check out movies and pics here...http://vegas.napkinnights.com/mov/ If you stay at Hard Rock you gain easy access to Rehab, otherwise the line starts at 5 am and you will be greasing the doorman for easy entry.
I'd say the #3 hotel is Venetian, primarily because Tao attracts the young and beautiful set. Went to Tao for dinner and club on Thursday (their industry night), and in my years of living and partying in Las Vegas, I have never seen so many beautiful women at the same place, and the ratio was even or plus women, which is a major bonus.
Something else to consider if you come after Labor Day...Luxor is losing the family freindly Egyptian theme and going all out adult party house. LAX opens labor day weekend and they are putting in no less than five new clubs/lounges.
Someone also mentioned Rio...Rio to me is no different than MGM or Mirage, or Treasure Island...pretty much the same mix. All are good but there are families and older folks mixed in. Caesars sucks now that it is a Harrah's property.
BTW, you are further from the heart of the strip at Mandalay Bay then you are at the Palms
This is awesome info.
I also have 4 people in one room, but I need quality sleep at night in order to recharge my batteries, and sharing a double or queen bed with another full grown man wont cut it for me.
Ever heard of a room having 2 king beds? or is there anyway for any of these rooms to accomodate a queen pullout sofa or something?
If I stay at Palms, I dont want to drop $1,000 in hotel room that I am using strictly for a drunken bed.
How can I get some shrooms? Taxi Driver? Ever since "Knocked Up" ive been wanting to do some shrooms and watch Cirque De Soleil. Or at least smoke a little pot.:smoker2:
