Thanks again for your advice! Not fussed on North or South, more just keen not to be too far down either end (we're traveling with a bub so makes taxis a bit tricky). Venetian would be okay, but from what I've read, Palazzo is getting quite far north. Also not a really "hot" deal for the north at the moment. I think I'm just being too picky (probably because I've managed to get hotwire or priceline deals for my preferred hotels everywhere else on my trip) ;)
