Alright, im planning a trip to vegas at the end of june for my birthday. So im looking for recommendations for a place to stay. Would like it to be on the strip, ill do some gambling, but by no means am i a high roller, whats your ideas...thanks

Find one of the main, well known hotels on the strip that has the best deal and go with it. We stay at Ceasars, Aria, Monte Carlo, New York New York, MGM, Excalibur- they all are decent, on the strip (what matters) and you don't spend that much time awake in the room anyway. That'll be fun, enjoy!

I was thinking mgm or Caesars, and stayed at harrahs.

If you're really not looking to spend a bunch of dough on a place you're only gonna sleep @, there's always Fremont st. It's only about a 5min ride on the gold line to get to the strip and there's plenty of fun to be had in old LV too.

ETA: if you're taking the lady you may want to stay in one of the nicer, newer hotels.

Look for a restaurant called Elise Island<SP?
It is off the strip but not far.
Great Prime Rib and great prices!
Saw it on one of those travel shows and was not disappointed.
Plan your trip ahead of time to maximize what you want to do and see.
Don't forget to visit The Pawn Stars!!!

I do have some experience in this genre. I'll send you a pm with my phone number give me a call. I'll go over the $20 trick which has worked for me EVERY single time I've tried it. I can show you how to get a super cheap room using Hotwire or Priceline and you'll know the hotel before you buy. Also have a contact there who will buy your show tickets for you using his discount and you'll save 30-60% off retail and you won't have to waste 3 hours standing on the 1/2 price line. You can pick up the American Casino Guide from their web site for $15 and you'll have hundreds of $$ in coupons to use. Check craigslist as locals often dump their extras there.
