2. just returned from vegas for the marathon ,had booked our room on pricline for my wife and 2 kids and got a great deal,have been to vegas 20 times and have stayed at alot of the strip hotels this one is middle range but for the money its one of the best deals ,had booked a standard room with the intension of trying a free upgrade which i am prtty good at selling ,i picked this nice girl and showed her a twenty dollar bill and asked if there was any free upgrades she said as there hotel was full this weekend there were no suits availble but would get us a strip view and comp us a rollaway bed 200 dollars in savings not a bad start ,this is our 2nd time at this hotel and it is huge compared to some others the rooms are very nice and clean very comfortable beds did not use the pools as it was to cold out but they do look very nice ,we like the location of the hotel as its at one end of the strip away from all the noise we paid 32 dollars each for a 72 hrs monorail pass which we used all the time it takes you all the way up the strip stopping at certain hotels we got off at ballys so you are right at the bellagio ate at the luxor buffett for 20 bucks well worth it ,a tip the drinks at the hotel are very expensive 10 bucks each there is a store just up the strip where you can buy drinks for 1/4 the price and bring them back ,if you want a top notch meal at a very good price go to mon ami gabi at the strip side of the paris we eat here evrytime we come to vegas sit outside and watch the bellagio fountains with a bowl of french onion soup best in the world and steak in blue cheese sauce .
