I have stayed in three places(Ballys, Mirage, MGM Grand). Grand SUCKS ass, brutal beds, when I wanted to sleep I couldn't, I had springs in my side and in my grill. Mirage was a little better then that but the Ballys rooms were awesome. The only thing I want out there roomwise is a decent bed with a good pillow so when i want to go to sleep, I can, no wasteing time trying to fall asleep. I also like when they have a couch and a desk type area because I like to spread things out and get organized and you have to remember that we usually roll with a decent sized group so having areas to sit down is kinda important. They were the biggest rooms also and had everything I want.

I have been in the Bellagio rooms and they were obviously nice, you can't beat that place, but cost wise, it isn't worth it...Ballys is right across the street anyways if you really wanted to go to Bellagio

Great info....I had heard that the Grands' beds sucked...from a cab driver no less...I stayed at the Aladdin in 2005....don't know if they're done with the remodel of that place?

I forgot about that place, I stayed there also, probably the best room I will ever stay in....8 person suite with a connecting room, was in the shape of a C and the curve part was all glass, viewing the strip.....I am not a fan of the gaming at the Aladdin, but I have heard that they are going all out with the renovations, so if they have a good sportsbook, I will obviously try it out

The cabbie told us it was a 2Bill remodel...they're turning the entrance to the street cuz they weren't getting any foot traffic. I didn't like their gaming either..slots on entrance floor and cards on 3rd floor(for the big spenders)
