I'm planning on staying at Bally's the whole time. If some folks would like to just crash in my room on Saturday (the expensive night) and then get their own on Sunday when the rates go down, I'd be happy to pack us in like sardines in a volkswagon if that would help. :)

Hey Kar, can you tell me what rates you got? I am so clueless in this planning/comparing prices (I so rarely travel). Or where I should go to find these rates?

Who, you can go to here to check the rates for Bally's. When I checked yesterday they didn't have any rooms for Saturday but they did for Sunday-Thursday.

Kar, you've got yourself a deal! We've got to figure out why they are sold out on Saturday. It just seems odd to me.

I prefer to stay at Bally's primarily for the location - anywhere extremely south or north is not for me.

Nearest to Bally's -
Barbary Coast, Flamingo, Cesaers Palace, Paris, Bellagio (yes, I know, some of them are out of the requested price range).
A little further down the road, but still walking distance - Motel 8, Ellis Island (both on Koval) and the Westin (replaced the Maxim).

I'm not a Vegas veteran and haven't read the whole thread, but just thought I'd pipe in anyway... I've been twice (both times not paid for by me, so I don't know the prices), once stayed at Bally's and the other visit next door at the Paris, I agree with Spygirl that the central location is great.

Lucy, I don't remember seeing a whole lot of kids at either of those places, or at Caesar's or Bellagio, but there is a handy little tram that runs between Bally's and the MGM Grand further down on the strip, I saw lots of kids down in that area, NYNY is across the street and I think has some kid-friendly attractions and a roller coaster? Then right up the street are M&M World and I think a Nike Town and Coca Cola planet or something or other.

here's a link to the shopping/entertainment area I mentioned, where M&M World is... lots of kid- friendly stuff (and mom-friendly, too, there's a Sephora )

Showcase Mall

Hi Melfie. Thanks for the info! We've taken ds to NYNY and Luxor and he loved both. I was hoping there might be hotels near Bally's that have kid friendly pools, game areas, etc. He's pretty easy to entertain! The link you provided for the Showcase Mall is great. I remember seeing the M&M World last time (we didn't have a chance to go in). Thanks again!

Hey everybody! The casinos usually don't have special rates for Fri & Saturday nights. I bet they have rooms available just not at the good prices. I've also heard alot of the casinos don't allow check-ins on Saturdays.

The Flamingo is nice and not too high priced and I do believe that Barbary Coast is very reasonable. (Not sure what that says about the rooms.) I say we just crash in Kar's room on Saturday night! Hell, I might even sleep in the bathtub. :)

Grannyg,

I've sent you an email. I wanted to let you know that I won't be attending the Las Vegas gathering.

Thanks for all your hard work in organizing the event. I know you'll have a great time.

Weinerkins I'm going to miss you and will have to catch you on the west coast.

Granny, I think I'm going to check out the Flamingo and see what kind of rates they have and if they're available for the 17th.

Let me know what you find out Mocha. As long as it is clean and decent.

I am just considering going. Too far in advance to know for sure. I will check out The Orleans when the date gets closer.

When I stayed there to see the Righteous Bros., the room was set-up like a suite and was huge. Price was good. That is supposed to be a place that the locals go to a lot. ?

Came in to tell Granny that I will be there 4 nights, 18th through 21st.

Mr. Weinermr, I was so looking forward to meeting you and your family. Next time. Of course, I am looking forward to meeting everyone because I haven't had a TVCH meeting yet!

Rosie, I stayed at the Orleans and loved the room. It was large with lots of seating space and very pretty.

Rosie

The Orleans for Sat. 17th is 88. For 18th it is 38.

Is it near Ballys?

p.s. I just tried the Orleans and they don't have a room available on the 18th. Which site did you use Rosie?

Not within walking distance but I seem to recall that they have some kind of shuttle??? Was couple years ago Mocha so better check on that.

A cab would do nicely if you don't have a car there.

I really liked the place. Smaller but had all the amenities, etc. Lots of slots!!!!

They show a picture of it online so you can take a peek yourself.
