TBH I think all of Vegas is a dump.

Imperial Palace is now the Linq, Harrah's is long gone I think. Fremont Street is starting to clean up and gentrify.

All the tourist spots in Vegas is a dump. Go to the Northwest side... Summerlin area, its not a dump at all. Most people don't know about the local scene because everyone stays on the Strip or Freemont.

The city center hotels are amazing!

There is no way the Bellagio is in the same league as the Circus Jerkus or Imperial Palace. I haven't been in it for a long time, but it can't be THAT bad, can it?

The Imperial Palace is now the Linq. However, the area still suffers from flooding from flash floods. And Circus Circus isn't going anywhere. The stratosphere, the palms, and rio are now the crap casinos.

Mandalay Bay isn't the same anymore. The pool is nice and they have cool shows, but the actual hotel is sinking. They built it over an ancient river so the foundation is crap. You can google this info. I actually stayed there 2 weeks ago, just to access the pool; the room was literally tilted.

Bally's - 4
Imperial Palce - HELL NO.

Never stayed at any of the others, spent the most time at Flamingo's, not really great for an anniversary or anything, but I go to Vegas to gamble only.

I like the Paris, probably even more-so than Caesar's, it's a toss up.

I used to love the Buffet at the Flamingo... is it still the shit?

Ive never been to vegas but have been thinking about it.

Nothing off the strip is walking distance. Technically, yes they are, but you won't want to walk in the summer or in the winter.

(Keep in mind this is based on trips a few years back)
I have stayed at:
The Venettian-best overall
MGM-great for shows and "clubs" also pretty hot scene at the pool
Mandalay-good overall hotel, met my wife at the now gone Rum Jungle club
Paris-love it for the location, pool is relaxing and not too wild
Stratosphere-went with a group of cheapos. Roof top pool was fun, but its a dump
NYNY-again, great for the location. Did well playing here

Really just depends what you're interested in. We always like to be between MGM and Wynn b/c outside of summer, its actually "walkable"
