riviera, sahara, circus circus or stratosphere?

we plan on going to vegas in october and we have it narrowed down to these 4 hotels. which one should we stay at? id rather stay at the bellagio or MGM, but we can%26#39;t afford it. would like to hear some opinions on the 4 places that we have it narrowed down to.

thanks!!!!!

riviera, sahara, circus circus or stratosphere?

They all STINK.

Stardust would be fine (unless its been blowed up by then).

';Staying'; on the Strip is highly overrated AND overpriced.

Orleans is THE BEST ';cheap'; hotel in Las Vegas, period...

riviera, sahara, circus circus or stratosphere?

If it has to be one of those four, I%26#39;d choose the Riviera.

Nasty.

What about one of the Coast properties? Perhaps Bally%26#39;s, Harrahs, or the Flamingo.

At least it won%26#39;t be deadly hot in October, but you should really reconsider being in a more desirable neighborhood.

Those 4 are just bad choices. There are better places to stay that aren%26#39;t as expensive as the Bellagio or MGM.

dwright29: I%26#39;ve stayed at all of those mentioned..once...and would never stay at them again...Very undesirable location on the strip, IMO...course, you may like them...even stayed at the HO, now gone...why not chose a hotel/casino closer to everything? Even downtown (which I like) is better...or the Gold Coast or Orleans for about the same cost...

This is THE best website there is for the ';straight scoop'; on every Las Vegas Hotel/Casino and should help you:

nice staunch! cheapovegas is the shniz.

dwright, it depends if you are getting a car, what you want to do, etc.

when are you going?

we%26#39;re booked at the strat for vegoose

I can%26#39;t believe those are the only choices. BLEH. It the reason is price, I agree with Steve - The Orleans was both affordable and clean/comfortable/safe. It is off strip but I%26#39;d take it any day over the others you listed. They have a shuttle and I%26#39;d deal with that before staying at any of the others. Or Barbary Coast so you at least get a good location out of the deal?

the riviera is not that bad at all, besides the horrible location.

jungle... I believe you meant ';choose';.

steve... Did you catch that acurate comparison?

';id rather stay at the bellagio or MGM';

dwright... Don%26#39;t let these people scare you. If thats your budget then there you go. All of your choices are clean, dated yes, and will offer you a good time. I haven%26#39;t stayed at any of them, but I%26#39;m sure they are inspected from time to time.

You might try the rates at the Tropicana (great pool) for the same time. Again an older property, but budjet and a lot of fun.

If you are serious why not consider the Excalibur.It has comparable prices but with a good location on the strip.
