    Stuie..I have been watching some of the YouTube videos of people playing the slots in Vegas.
    Some of these people play $25-50 a spin😳

    You would need to hit a hand pay after about 10 minutes play just to break even.😂

    Good luck with the trip..think it’s about time you came back with some profit from one of your vegas trips.😉

    Hi All,

    Planning a trip to Vegas in March next year, but have stumbled at the first hurdle, and can't decide where to stay! Want somewhere that covers all bases, and is reasonably priced? 

    I typically go way OTT with research before booking anything and there is too much to consider here...

    There are clearly lots of choices, and many of you guys and gals have lots of experience... What should I go for?

    -  40th Birthday
    -  2 Adults
    -  4/5 days
    -  We will look to get married on one of the days (after 20 years!), pull a witness off the street kinda thing :) I know we have to go downtown first for a license. 

    TIA!

    My favourite property for a party vibe in a good location would be the Cosmopolitan. Rooms overlooking the Bellagio Fountains 
    Might not be a reasonable price though.

    Lots of choice though!

    What do you mean by "covers all bases"

    What do you think is "reasonably priced"

    Is this your first Visit?

    Vegas is split in two IHMO

    The strip-Showy\lights touristy

    Downtown-More gritty, Casinos real Vegas (of old)

    We've all got different ideas as to what is best\worst etc so difficult to recommend.

    For the strip:- Cosmopolitan-get a room with a view of the Bellagio fountains.

    Downtown_Difficult as I've not been in years.

    Can gritty or glitzy.
