I know it's early, but I'd like to get my plans set. Hotwire is showing me two options within my budget: 3* with casino, restaurant, pool, internet, golf, business center for $83 a night, which seems to be a very good price for this weekend. Nothing on the hotel lists matches up exactly though. If this were the Sahara, I'd probably consider it. If it's circus circus or statosphere, I'd be very bummed. If it's boardwalk, I'd be happy too. The other is 3.5 stars with casino, restaurant, pool, fitness, spa, high speed internet, tennis, and business center. I can't figure this one out. It's significantly more expensive though. I'd consider anything in the $100 to $200 range (although it would have to be a good place for $200). Proximity to MGM is a strong plus (so Excalibur, New York, Tropicana, MGM are all strong options). Monorail access would be second best. Thanks. Great forum.
