Hi! Thanks for the info and quick reply! This site is awesome, and very informational - thank you! Last week I came across a deal elsewhere for the Rio at $450 total including resort fees. Researching that has led me here. I am comfortable to spend up to $500 for the entire total. Stayed at Paris 10 years ago (only time ever in Vegas), and we loved it. Wife wanted to see if it was possible to stay there again, or in that area (Bally's, Planet Hollywood, Cromwell), and that's what I've been trying to accomplish. We really would like to stay in central strip area, but not dead set on any one place over another. We don't mind to spend a bit more if the quality warrants it.
