Are there any hotels in Vegas who have rooms big enough for 5-7 people?

there may be but they would be really expensive, I should think...why not just book multiple rooms? Most hotels charge an amount ($30-50 per night) for each person over 2...so even with 4 sometimes it just makes more sense to book 2 rooms (and nicer for those involved, I should imagine).

Or rent a house?

Orleans rooms would be big enough for two rollaway beds but whether they'd do it is another matter.....two rooms there would be cheaper than their two bedroom suites though....otherwise for walking distance rather than free shuttle to the Strip look at the Tuscany Suites (near Ellis Island behind the Flamingo) for one and two bedroom suites.

Orleans has never had an issue with extra people in the room (or ever charged for extra bodies) ...but we've been girlie groups not lads ...so that might make a difference

CP, quote the scene from 'The Hangover', that villa suite appears to have a few rooms, think it was $4k per night on the weekend mind!
Tiger not included in the rate !

Yeah think 2 or 3 rooms next to each other will be the best bet then...

Dinner now available after being sold out previously - $43.99 for 2 including a bottle of wine...

I've already bought a lunch, anone tried it for lunch or dinner ?

just be aware most places will not guarantee this..they will if they can but it's normally in the request category along with smoking/non and king/2 queens.

ha - it's the 4th Thursday in November.

for most of my life I thought it was the last Thursday in November and one year was very, very confused.

Yes I was always told it was the last Thursday in November. Why, is there a difference between the last and 4th?

Just got back from LV. Had a wonderful time. Thanks to everyone for their help and advice.
We used the myVegas points to have BOGOF deals for dinner buffets. The first was at Monte Carlo and it was amazing. We arrived at 3:30 so she charged us lunch prices but the dinner buffet was opening and the food was fab. It cost us $16 (£9:20ish) for the pair of us. The next was at the Excalibur and was just as nice $22 (£15). For a pudding lover these places were amazing...I gained half a stone!! Lol
The rest of LV was brilliant. We didn't really spend much as most of the time was looking around the hotels, watching the free shows (fountains etc). Our total gambling spend was $4...hey big spenders. We were just amazed by it all and we walked for absolutely miles.
We also went to the Grand canyon which was fab. My only problem is I have a slight fear of heights and was ok until I saw people climbing over barriers and leaning over the edge. And also lifting up children....nutters!

Thanks again. Great place, what an experience.

P.S I didn't know what !!!!!! slappers were and didn't want to ask...but now I know! Haha

The Platinum has the Marquis Suite. 2 bedrooms 2 bathrooms, full kitchen. I think there is also a bed settee. It would probably cost you less than a strip hotel. Even if it wasn't big enough a couple of them or a Marquis and a Princess would do the trick, and they would guarantee you would have rooms next to each other. Price it up, if you are serious about booking DM me and I will put you in touch with the rooms manager, he will get you a better deal tha you will see online

Thanks for the kind offer, I think we would probably rather stay right on the strip though (it is the other people's first time to Vegas so I think they would prefer to have it all on the doorstep)

Yeah, 2 in every 7 years will have 5 Thursday in November. If November 1st is a Wednesday or a Thursday then there will be 5 Thursdays in that November.
