woundedfool - I'm going Sun-Thurs, last week in June. It will be hot but, it's the soonest I can get away midweek! I'm thinking I'll stay at the Monte Carlo - nice balance of Strip location/cost, and not a dump, IMO. I found a deal that's about $45 a night for the basic room (before the resort fees but that's pretty standard for any hotel, I think?) plus a $75 food/drink credit at their pub restaurant. Seems like a lot of credit to spend at one restaurant but I suppose a couple of drinks will put a big dent in it
Yea, you'll blow through the 75.00 there pretty quick.
Monte Carlo is cool(I should qualify it with: South strip is like a foreign land to me).
But you will be close to City center, pretty good vibe in those places (Cosmo, Aria, etc.).
Don't get me wrong, mid-week is cool (that's what I just did), far less BS to contend with (ability to walk up and get seated for food, seats at the pool, etc.).
