Going to Vegas . . . Where should we stay?

You probably will be able to find great deals on rooms in July. My vote is Bellagio if you can find a great deal. There is just something so special about being able to watch the fountains from your room with the music playing from your TV in the background. I could watch those fountains for hours! We also stayed at the Palazzo and the rooms are gorgeous. Rooms at the Venetian and the Palazzo are all suites and very nice. I also recommend going to see "O"

I love the Venetian for the romance factor. You can ride the gondolas where the gondoliers sing to you. They have fabulous restaurants. I particularly enjoy Canaletto.

If money is tight though, you can do those things without staying at the Venetian. The Mirage is nice and rather centrally located. Treasure Island is right next to it and connected by a tram. I think the Treasure Island rooms cost a bit less.

MGM Grand has a "pool complex" with an 8000 foot long lazy river. It fits your desire for it to be less than $200 a night too. I've never stayed there, but it appeared to be nice when I have walked through it. You can see the lions there also.

It all depends on your bank account and what things are most important to you.

Be aware that it will be very expensive around July 4.
