Hotel for couple in late 20s/early 30s?

Hi! I%26#39;m planning on traveling to Vegas for the first time in April 2007 and would like to be in the middle of the action! I%26#39;m leaning more toward a themed hotel vs. the standard Holiday Inn. What%26#39;s a great hotel for people our age who are looking for a more modern decor with a great pool scene and trendy restaurants nearby? Also, what are your thoughts on the following: Aladdin, Treasure Island, Paris, New York NY. Do any of them fit this description? Thanks!

Kellianne, I have a 25 year old son and 30 year old daughter who go regularly with their friends. As far as a hotel with alot of contemporaries and a great pool scene, Hard Rock and Palms. They are both off strip so if %26#39;middle of the action'; means center strip, try TI. Hard Rock can be less expensive too...sometimes. None of the above, or any of the ones you mentioned, will in any way be confused with a Holiday Inn. Believe me. My kids both do not care much for Paris or NY NY...Mirage is good if you can afford it. But HRH and Palms are much hipper.

Treasure Island if you%26#39;re on budget, the Wynn if you want to spend a bit more. It seems like half of the people I see in L.A. clubs are always there for the weekend. One other noteworthy place is THEHotel (at Mandalay) although it%26#39;s pretty far up the strip. Trendy restaurants are everywhere, venture out of whatever hotel you end up staying at. For a pool scene, the Hard Rock is where it%26#39;s at --just lovely to watch...

Kellianne try www.vegashotelspecials.com I was able to get a rate of $129 per night ! You might find a great bargin. GOOD LUCK!!!

If this is your 1st trip I would stay on the strip. Treasue Island has good rates and is geared towards a younger crowd, the pool is nice but nothing great.

MGM West Wing (recently remodeled)rooms.

Great pool area, great location near other mega-resorts, and newly remodeled rooms. Better yet, MGM Signature if affordable

Aladdin and Paris are nice, nice rooms, but pools are basic,nice plazas, no special features. They do the job well for the lounge-dip cycle

NYNY rooms and pool nothing special, visit the casino though

TI is central strip, nice rooms, more shopping areas midstrip, but south strip (MGM)has the most large themed properties

If on a budget, check out Luxor- sometimes goes cheap, and is nice and fun

Pool scene and rates may not be favorable in April. Cool and windy days a distinct possibility

If you can switch to mid/late-June, rates are lower, and pool weather is guaranteed and ideal. The afternoon heat is bearable (also avoidable)in the desert, and the early mornings are ideal for walking/running. I have had some bummer weather in LV April, but always love to go there June

my children and spouses are your age. They all like

hard rock, venetian (not as lively a pool area but great retsaurants and nice small casino), bellagio, THEHotel.

they do not like palms (too young, like 21-23) or any of the others you mentioned.

this is all personal taste - nothing wrong with any of those places if YOU like them. the females usually want a nice spa/pool/fitness room and the guys want sportsbook. we all want craps.

when we have a large group we usually wind up at Venetian for room sizes and ability to gather easily. hard rock, even at my age, i LOVE - intimate and the pool on sunday is a riot - i love watching these kids. the blackjack rules not the best - craps you can play just about anywhere. they do have a few decent VP machines.

Your 4 choices are all good. Do stay on the strip your first visit. there is just something lacking at places like Hard Rock, Palms, Rio, and cab charges witll add up to a major annoyance.

When your on the strip, if you do not like one, just walk next door.
