Vegas Hotels: the good & BAD!

[~Stephanie~]

So FI booked tickets to Vegas as a 30th Birthday present for me! My b-day was this month and the trip isn't until May (like a week before we leave for Mexico) but that's cool! So I am sooooo excited because I have never ever been to Vegas before!!

 

So ladies, I read your reviews what would ya'll suggest for a couples weekend getaway? I don't think we will be in the room much, just to sleep and well you know! But I think I would want a nice pool and I want to be in the center of the action. I am going to look for deals online, but I can't really afford the Bellagio with my Mexico wedding like 12 days later!

 

Also, M and I really wanted to pull and secret Vegas wedding like some of our other BDW brides have (Andi and Jess come to mind!) So we are doing our legal ceremony there instead of the boring Des Moines Iowa Courthouse! Woot! I am soooo excited! I can't wait! Elvis wedding drive-thru here I come!!

Id suggest any of these. They are all party places. Old vegas has better gambling since the resorts accept smaller buy ins.

AUTJO...out of curiosity, what makes the Planet Hollywood pool bad? -- in your opinion that is.

Erin, I thought the pool was small and boring. At the time they didn't even have cabanas and most reviews say the food by the pool stinks. And although they just opened up their "VIP" pool, there are not a bunch of reviews on it so my guess is that it isn't very fun. If you are looking for a party pool, this is not it.

I've read through and seen MGM but has anyone stayed at the signature at mgm? My 2 bff's just surprised me and are taking me there next month for mini girls weekend/bachlorette party. I've heard its super nice and am so excited!

What a great surprise!! Signature is AWESOME! I'm not a huge fan of MGM (because I'm a Wynn-devotee), but I will stay at Signature. We stayed there for a bachelorette party 2 years ago and it was gorgeous! Plus, the beds were soooo comfy, although we slept only 3 hours total in 48 hours in Vegas. It's off the strip, and it does take a bit of walking to get there, so a cab is a must if you're in heels. The pool at Signature is nice and way more laid back than your stereotypical Vegas pool. If you want crazy pool antics, just take the little walkway to the MGM pool. It takes about 10 minutes to walk to the MGM pool. Another big plus for a girl's weekend at Signature is the bathroom size! We had 6 girls in our room and were all able to get ready at the same time.

I put my photographer up at Signature MGM when I had my Vegas legal day 2 weeks ago and he loved it! Granted no casino, no smoking so if you don't mind that I'm sure you'll love it!
