Vegas hotel input

I enjoyed my stay at the MGM Grand last year. High points were a day at the lazy river and the restaurants, ones owned by Ayesha Curry and Wolfgang Puck.

My favorites are the Aria and Paris. The Paris is in the middle of the strip and not super large so you don't have to walk miles to get to the pool or just out the front door.

We love the Wynn and the Encore hotels. beautiful rooms, nice view of the strip, elegant atmosphere.

I love the Bellagio and I'd pick it every time if it were up to me. Our last two trips we stayed at Paris and MGM and both were fine but not stand out. If I were choosing based on amenities and convenience, I'd probably choose Cosmopolitan because that's where we eat at the most and the location is great.

Aria- it was always Aria <3

We go at least once a year, usually in June, and have gone in fall a couple times too.

I’ve stayed at NYNY twice, MGM Grand, Paris, the Wynn and Aria.

Aria is, by and large, my absolute favorite. We’ve stayed there 7-8 times and it is ALWAYS a great experience. Both the hotel and the casino floor. It’s clean, smells (actually) nice, I like the decor, and there is alot on property to do, plus- it is in a great location and has the little tram thing.

That said, we are going next month and are staying at the Venetian. Hahaha

I haven’t (yet) stayed a Bellagio- it’s on the list!

I wouldn't go back to the Bellagio because it just wasn't that special to me. Also, I wandered down to find a yogurt for breakfast and was wearing a Tshirt that said "Owls Are Assholes" and some security lady told me to change it because there could be children around.
Ma'am, this is Las Vegas. There are practically naked ladies right outside, men handing you cards for callgirls and strip shows every six feet, drunk people everywhere, and profanity is just casual conversation. Lol

I was overall not impressed. You're better off just going to look at the fountains.

When they say “it’s a dry heat” they aren’t wrong. 110 with low humidity feels a lot better than 90 with high humidity. Lots of outdoor places, especially where people tend to queue, have little misters that spritz you with cool water. I like a dress with tank sleeves and a light cardigan to throw on inside in the air conditioner. Hair up helps. And hydration is a must. I also found the alcohol hit me so much faster. I am generally not a big drinker and one drink is enough to make me mellow. I had one drink walking down the strip and I barely had half of it before I felt dizzy and had trouble walking up the stairs. My poor daughter sat on the stairs and cried (“I hate it when you drink!” As if she’d ever seen me do it before or I ruined every family vacation! Really she was 10 and had hardly ever seen me with a drink and certainly never visibly affected by it). My husband bought me a water that cost more than the drink and we sat while I finished it. Was completely fine by the time I made it back to my hotel. Learned my lesson, no more drinks in the heat!

Cooling Neck Wraps can help a lot in extreme heat.

Can buy in many places, just google and you will find all types.

Basically material that is wet with water that you wrap or hang around your neck.

We go to Vegas often and will be there in a couple of weeks. Honestly we just try to avoid walking outside during the day as much as possible. We stick to the casinos etc pretty close to the one we are staying. When we have plans further away, we take a cab. I will say last year when we went in July, we got lucky that it *only* got to the upper 90's most days. Hoping for the same this year, but probably won't be so lucky.

And yes, the dry heat is better than when we have gone to Florida or Hilton Head during the summer.

I hate being cold, so I love nothing more than being poolside in 100 degree weather

I hate how cold it is indoors in the summer. I can't even go out to eat without a jacket. Whenever possible I request to sit outside. And work meetings, OMG, I have to have a fleece-lined jacket! It's ridiculous to need a space heater in your office in July in Georgia.

I am so opposite of you. lol! I like the sun, but I don’t like the heat. I am not one that can tolerate lying in the sun in that heat, or even under an umbrella when it is 110. Give me sunny and 85 any day! lol!
