Las Vegas

In Las Vegas, you should choose your hotel based on two things:

The bars

The pool

Based on this theory, there are only a few places to stay:

	Hard Rock Hotel and Casino: small rooms, but a great pool, some decent restaurants, and a raging, raging bar...that never stops raging.
	Mandalay Bay: A younger crowd with some fun night spots (Red Square, Rum Jungle) and a great pool.
	The Palms: the new hip spot; great pool; a bar with great views (Ghost Bar); and a cool club (Rain).

However, I'm getting older. So, the following represent my matured choices:

	Bellagio: great lobby, the best restaurants, and, of course, the fountain show; rooms are pretty decent
	The Wynn: a lot of hype, but not bad; worth a try just for the restaurants
	The Pallazzo: haven't tried it yet, but will next time.
