I agree. I've stayed at Bellagio, Caesars & Encore and Venetian remains my favourite of the list.



11 days this trip, and although we have also San Francisco before Vegas, it never seems long enough :rotfl: So excited, less than a month til our trip and can't wait to try out the Cosmopolitan!

I'm so jealous.. I look forward to reading about your trip and hopefully we will take advice from you again!

Have a fabulous time!

re: Mexicans - we've been a few...

I also forgot to mention the following that we've been:

Isla @ TI:
http://www.treasureisland.com/restaurants/isla_mexican_kitchen.aspx

we've been for the happy hour drinks recently, but not eaten here since 2006 - it was good and has a vast tequila menu! (like, a serious one - hundreds it seemed, 'nutty textures', 'vanilla textures' and all that jazz... me and the missus had different ones and to be honest, it was just tequila!!! Our palettes mustn't be refined enough

Gonzalez Gonzalez @ NYNY:

Think this is a chain... it seemed like a chain - good greasy fried mexican stuff though (platters etc), and quite quick if you're in a rush

Tequila Bar & Grill @ Bally's

As per Gonzalez Gonzalez really

Yolo's @ Planet-Ho

Good food, but odd positioning (on the same level as people walking past - which as (IIRC) you're by the south entrance is quite a lot!) - had a great night here even though the Tomato salmonella issues across the states at the time were putting me off my salsa!!!

Signature deal here, however beware http://www.mgmgrand.com/offers/2011/02_signature_stay_longer_2_22/landing.html

the small print says "Food and drink credit valid only at Signature outlets". From memory, all there is there is a Starbucks and a bar.

and of course their food outlet Delights!

We used the credit we got at the Sig by the pool last year... its didnt take much doing with the price of the cocktails

We really enjoyed eating in Diego’s at the MGM Grand:

Contemporary surroundings and the food and service were excellent. I think the price for a shared starter (as you also get complimentary tortillas with lovely fresh salsa), a couple of mains and a couple of beers was just shy of $50!
