No satisfaction, no optimism? Have you been talking to my bride to be?

Thanks for your good wishes, Moog....

Paris would be an exceedingly good choice for a group as you describe. It
has the advantage of not having any super popular attractions. What that
means to the actual paying guests is that the place does not get super
crowded with people just coming for a look as do a lot of the other resorts
around there.

And the limiting factor is time, especially for the first time visitor. You
can spend hours each day just waiting in queues if you insist on doing the
most popular thing at the peak time of day. There are times when you can
hardly move in the big three, Bellagio, Ceasar's Palace, and Venetian. So
you want to get as many reservations as you can to avoid that.

In my opinion the sightseeing and entertainment treasure of the Strip is New
York, New York. That place is a trip no matter if viewed from the outside
or the inside. So the trick is to go to the Mandalay Bay and ooh and ahh
over that place and the spectacular pool. Then get on the tram and go to
Excalibur. But skip the tour of Luxor and Excalibur and walk across the
street on the elevated walkway to New York, New York. Then Monte Carlo
which is okay, then Aria, then cross the street back to the Paris.
Tropicana is absolutely worthless.

Best ones:

Caesar's Palace
Bellagio
Venetian/Palazzo
Wynn/Encore
New York, New York
Aria/City Center

certainly worth a look

Mirage
Treasure Island
O'Sheas
Harrah's
Imperial Palace
Casino Royale
MGM
Planet Hollywood

okay ones

Luxor
Excalibur

total rubbish

Tropicana
Bally's
Circus Circus
Stratosphere
Riveria

special interest

Hard Rock
Palms

off the beaten path

Rio
M
Red Rock
Green Valley Ranch
South Point

best buffet:

Bellagio or Wynn

best steakhouse:

Del Frisco or a host of others

best nightclubs

XS - Encore
Tryst - Wynn
Tao - Venetian

any club at Hard Rock of Palms

Best adult pool party:

Wet Republic at MGM.

Best adult dancing girl club:

best bar

anything of about 200

best shopping-

depends on your budget but Premium Outlets is the most popular

top shows

O at Bellagio
Jersey Boys at Palazzo
Love at Mirage
La Reve at Wynn


that about does it for a thumbnail sketch then

Sorry david - you forfeited your right to an opinion the day your mother
left me stranded at the altar...

It's just a good thing she wasn't one of those, "not until we're married"
types...
