How about hotels at which you have had a GOOD stay?

Just read a post about unfortunate experiences at a LV hotel which led to a %26#39;bad%26#39; stay. Someone else mentioned that for every %26#39;bad%26#39; stay there are probably 50 good ones which we do not hear about. OK, guys, how about sharing which hotel stays have been good? Maybe a word or two about why it was a good stay? I%26#39;ll start:

My favorite: Gold Coast - reasonable rates, close to the door parking, inexpensive restaurants, helpful staff.

OK - take it from here!

Bellagio - everything good, NYNY - great, haven%26#39;t stayed in a while as I stay at the two previous but have been good - Flamingo - location and hot slots, Monte Carlo - location, Ceasars - location. Only place I ever stayed that I didn%26#39;t like - was Imperial Palace as the rooms had a horrible smell - this was over 15 years ago so probably not aplicable and I still liked the stay as the casino was fun and loose.

I can%26#39;t think of a totoally bad stay ever.

We love to stay at Rio. The rooms (suites) are quite large and comfy. The dressing area has a large vanity and sink, which is great when 2 people are getting ready. The employees are always friendly. I like the atmosphere in the casino. Good food in all the restaurants and the best buffet. Best of all, I%26#39;m not a ';high roller';, but manage to get my room comped. Last summer we were comped a room at Caesars in the Augustus Tower.....just one word......wonderful!

Rio...always good, clean and luxurious,spaciousness makes ALL the difference

MonteCarlo..fun pool, never a problem, clean and comfy

Luxor...decor adds a little magic to a trip

Aladdin..nice room, great bathrooms, buffet always a great meal

Best stay was at the Venetian: I got married there, but the room and view were fabulous!

Good stays include Polo Towers: Very clean great location, The Orleans was a great price, great room.

Sams Town: Clean room, but not intended for my demographic.

Okay stays: Lady Luck, Dirt cheap room and no dirt!

The Tropicana (Island Tower) We got upgraded for free.. the room was very cheesy, but clean and comfortable.

San Remo: Very cheap room, but nothing special and the hotel looked tired.

Worst stay: The Tropicana (Garden room) I about barfed when I saw the room.

My family and I usually stay at the Flamingo and over the years I don%26#39;t we have ever encountered any problems at all. I like the cafe for breakfast, my wife and daughter are usually up before me and always go buffet. They love the pool and also the fact that it is right in the middle of the strip and we usually get a decent room price.

We have also stayed at the Barbary Coast next door and all loved the rooms. I like the fact that the parking garage is small and you don%26#39;t have to walk too far to the elevators that take you to the front desk. We found it a good change to stay in a smaller joint, again right in the middle of the strip.

Last trip in July took us to the Orleans and that worked out just fine as well. Plenty of places to eat there, shuttle to the strip if you want it. No problems. I went back on a solo in December and for $25 per night, I had a great time. Friendly dealers but I just couldn%26#39;t find Lady Luck anywhere.

When I stay downtown I usually stay at the Fremont and have never had a bad night. Desk staff very attentive. And it is close to Binion%26#39;s Coffee Shop.

Mandalay Bay. Stayed there many, many times and have never, ever had a bad experience there. Love the rooms, bathrooms, floor to ceiling windows, veiw of strip from north facing rooms, awsome casino, restaurants, ALWAYS have had great service and the pool is the best. Yes, it can get crowded, so we always plan our trip for week days when the kids are in school so crowds aren%26#39;t too bad. But definitly, Mandalay Bay!

Venetian is awesome...Golden Nugget Downtown...and the Orleans off strip..all have been nice places to stay%26gt;

Believe it or not, I had a really good stay at the Excalibur several years ago. The rooms were very nice, the pool was nice, and the staff was very friendly.

The last two visits have been to the Flamingo, and we love it there. I have no complaints. Great location, good food, nice staff, excellent pool.

Flamingo/Treasure Island,Loaction/Price!

We%26#39;ve enjoyed excellent stays at MGM Grand, Mirage and Caesars Palace.

Our stay at TI was good too . . . just wouldn%26#39;t call it excellent.
