  1. Thanks for you continued feedback. I can go as high as $90-100, but being from the Midwest where I score the Doubletree (which is an excellent hotel) in Chesterfield for $34 the thought of spending $100 a night makes me nauseous. I've always heard these stories about traveling to Vegas for a week, RT flight and decent hotel room for $300 and all you can eat prime rib buffets for $4.95, so I was a bit startled when I started booking for this trip. The flight alone, which I spent days and days researching, is $300 a head. Let me ask this as I am a bit confused. I read these horror stories from people about crappy, filthy rooms, broken stuff, etc. in hotels that are suppose to be 3 star or better and they say the staff could care less. Do you think they are not assertive or what? I pay even $80 for a room and it better meet my expectations or I come unglued. (I have this special talent that allows me to roll on eye separate from the other making me look like an escaped mental patient) Are the establishments in Las Vegas that much different than other cities? I've actually never had to rant and rave, the rare times I've had an issue here in the Midwest a stern request usually does the trick. I guess I expect a true 3 star to be equivalent to say a Holiday Inn or Drury Inn. Nothing fancy, but clean and conveys the feeling you won't get rolled on the way out at night and a 4 star to surprise me with little extras. Heck maybe I'm just focusing on the negative reviews, but most of the 3 stars I have tried to research look like dives.
  2. Thank you for the frank answer. Upon spending another 5 hours last night looking I realize the 5* is out of our range. I did see what seemed like a lot of 4* wins for what appears to be reasonable prices (mostly seemed to be the Westin which scared me at first, but after looking for an extended time didn't seem that bad) so I guess I will pursue that angle. I may be sleeping on the street since I am not going to stay in some Travelodge quality establishment. Been there, done that, never again. I can live without cigarette butts in the sheets and glass on the filthy floor. Thanks again!
  3. Howdy all, great to be hear. Have been a long time lurker! So the wife and I are heading to LV on November 13 - November 17. I will be at the convention center everyday so I need good access to it. I have spent literally 4 days now looking for a deal on a nice hotel. Ever time I think I found one, further research proved that previous visitors were disgusted. 3 and 4 star rated hotels that should be rated 1/2 star it appears. So my question is this, do you think I have a prayer getting a 5 star for less than $90/night? On the 4 stars, it also seems perhaps many of them are 'overrated'. I guess in my mind I expect a 4 star to be a heck of a lot nicer than say a Holiday Inn or Travelodge, yet the horror stories people tell scare the hell out of me. I've used Priceline with great success in STL, MO but never anywhere else. Can someone throw me a bone, particular if you know of 4 stars on the strip that are to be avoided at all costs. I belong to a lot of forums so I know how irritating it can be to have a noobie come in and ask these types of questions, but after 30 hours of looking I just need some direction from experienced LV travelers. My head hurts. I would be elated to pay $65-80, but I want a hotel we won't regret being at. My boss tried to send me to the Mardi Graw for $75 a night, but isn
