As a frequent flyer to the city of sin, I would have to give this a few different answers..

It doesn't really matter where you stay, because you aren't going to be in your room much at all..Now, if you do hook up with a female then you don't want to take her back to a dump..Below are my top choices..This is coming from a dumbass who has been out to Vegas at least, and this is not an exaggeration, 50 plus times..I'm so pathetic and have gambled enough that we get comp'd air fare and accomodations..If you go out and lose your ass they will even comp your meals and throw in show tickets..

1.) The Bellagio..All around nice
2.) Venetian
3.) Mandalay Bay

and if oyu want to gamble big, then nothing compares to the treatment I have received at Ceasar's Palace..If you are rolling the cash out, they will literally kiss your ass to keep you in the casino..**** I love that place..Too bad it will probably be the end of me!!!

Anyway, I have rambled..For a young guy, I don't really know..Words of wisdom..Don't pick up any Vegas prostitutes..My cousin flew out with me last year and the dumbass got rolled for 4 grand by a high dollar call girl he met in the casino..Too much booze equals passing out which later equals getting RIPPED OFF!!!
