I want somewhere we can walk to see things, Take a short cab ride if need be.
Love live music, drinks, see the shows and do a little gambling I'm sure.
All of this is useful though. I wondered about fremont st.
Might have to do that next go round.

aria is good! they also have a tram to bounce from there to monte carlo(who has a cool pool area with lazy river and wave pool and modest room prices) or to bellagio. This will save time,energy or cab fares. Mandalay Bay also has an awesome beach style pool area.Cosmopolitan is a very cool place also,if you do happen to stay there pay for the fountain view room. They have balconies there and you get a great view of the bellagio fountains.There are only a few hotels downtown worth staying at. Most are old and feel/look as such. If it were me i would stick to the aria or somewhere on the strip. Its worth the extra cash and if you stick your wife somewhere dumpy on her bday to save some dough you will probably pay for that for a long time. Downtown is worth the trip to party though. Lots of small music bars for nighttime entertainment if you're into that,The freemont street experience is worth seeing once,slotzilla is there which is a giant slot machine with a hipline running out of it that shoots down the freemont street experience. a little pricey for what it is but can be fun. If i were you i would skip a rental car unless you want to go further away from strip or downtown. Cabs are expensive and if you're going off strip they will take you on the scenic route. Ive found for one end of the strip to another the bus can be effective but if its just that ride,the cab price won't be too bad either. We also have the newly built high roller,the worlds tallest observation wheel. Its at the Linq which is next to the Quad and The Flamingo hotels. Its Pricey but cool. Inside the Linq there is shopping and eating places one cool one being Brooklyn Bowl its a Restaurant,Music Venu and Bowling. Don't take the fools handing shit out on the street up on anything!! Especially the nightclub crap its all BS. If you want to go to any of the Night Clubs just go none of those guys are giving anything that you can't get if you just go except maybe 1 free drink or something but theres always a catch! The clubs are very expensive but can be fun if thats what you're in to. Most of the cirque shows are good but pricey,O is a great show but yes very expensive,if you're into the Beatles Love at the Mirage is good,Ka is OK and Mystere is a very interesting and fun show for a reasonable price.The Blue Man Show at Monte Carlo is a fun show at a reasonable price. Like somebody else warned drink lots and lots of water especially when drinking! Really the heat and alcohol can sneak up on you very quickly here,do not underestimate it!
