5 middle aged women in Vegas for the first time

Where to stay is my first consideration, any recommendations? Two of us are turing 40, the other 3 are in their early-mid 40%26#39;s. We will want somewhere ncie but will we need 3 rooms? Does anybody know of a 2 bedroom suite arrangement that may work?

We%26#39;re trying to plan for Labor Day weekend. Any help is appreciated.

Not too sure but I think the MGM Signature. Maybe someone else can give more info.

In general, and especially on a holiday weekend, you will pay way more for a 2 BR suite at any major Strip property than for adjoining standard rooms. If you want to economize, you may be able to make do with two rooms if at least one of the rooms is a ';mini-suite'; with a pull-out sofa bed. Rio and Venetian have standard rooms of this type.

You might really like the Venetian. Check there and the Signature at MGM, you might also want to check out the Platinum. I don%26#39;t know anything about it but it has gotten good reviews here.

You will pay a lot more to be in Vegas over a weekend, especially a holiday weekend. Sun-Thurs rates are so much cheaper than Fri-Sat ones.

I know. (sigh) But I already used all of my vacation days for the year. (big sigh)

If there are 5 of you, you could do 2 double rooms if 2 of you are willing to share a bed.

Ballys is centrally located and has very large rooms, and usually is one of the more affordable spots on the strip. The North tower rooms have just been redone, but the South tower rooms usually have Bellagio Fountain views. (older decor, but very clean and large)

If pools are your thing, I recommend Flamingo for location, or MGM. Probably the best pools at the best prices.

Fav ';clubs'; include Cleopatras Barge (dancing) and Shadow Bar at Caesars; Carnivale Court outdoor bar for fun bartenders and music/dancing outside Harrahs.

Dueling pianos in Harrahs (right inside from Carnivale). Monte Carlo pub usually is fun.

Kahunaville in TI for fun bartenders/all around fun.

Voodoo lounge at top of Rio is fun--free shuttle from Harrahs; free passes at rionights.com, but I think they are only good M-Th. Typical clubs will be VERY busy Labor Day weekend; you will WAIT and you will PAY...though 5 attractively dressed women have a better shot than men!

Do head downtown one night just to see it.

Do check out Mandalay Bay one night...many great lounges...great people watching.

Shopping shopping shopping....Caesars, Planet Hollywood ';miracle mile';, Venetian, Bellagio, Mandalay Bay, Wynn

Since it is your first trip...just wander thru all the casinos, new %26amp; old, lots to see.

If you like MX food, our new fav restaurant is Isla in TI...great ambiance, great food, well-priced, and the best mojito I have ever had.

Gambling is most expensive at biggest casinos, at night and on weekends. Get players club cards and try to frequent those casinos to possibly earn comps. If you are going to gamble anyway, you may as well get a perk. Easier at Harrahs properties or MGM/Mirage as you have several to choose from.

I am 42...heading to Vegas for 12th trip (or is it 13..). We were married there 14 years ago! Have a great time!

What kbunde said. Good stuff there.

Palazzo or Venetian might be a good fit. The very pleasant rooms/suites are huge, so you wouldn%26#39;t feel cramped. Maybe 2 in one room and 3 in the other would feel roomy. I like the location... close to the Wynn, Fashion Show Mall, Mirage, and Forum Shops not too far away too. Good restaurants around, and nice pools too. Whatever you do, I%26#39;m sure you%26#39;ll all have a great time!

At Flamingo they have a 2 bedroom suite that is over 1500 sq ft. I believe the cost is around $600 a night %26amp; it center of the strip, %26amp; you have Margaritaville for great eats %26amp; fun. If that is to much, you probably have to get 2 rooms that are connected.

Caesars also has some suite that would fit your criteria %26amp; it is across the street from Flamingo so it is also center of the strip which makes it easy to get around on the strip in either direction. You can check it out on Harrah%26#39;s website to see if it meets your criteria, if it does just call them, if the price drop, just call %26amp; tell them %26amp; they%26#39;ll give you the lower rate that you saw. The website is www.harrahs.com click on LV on top then hotels than hotel overview to see if you like it or not.
