Stag Do in Las Vegas - Which Hotel?

[Al U]

Hi,

Looking to book my Stag do shortly in Vegas and was wondering if anyone could provide any recommendations for decent hotels?

It appears to me that some of the big name ones are becoming a little dated and run down. There are 3 or 4 of us going and we are essentially looking to have an inebriated 5 nights out there. Looking for hotels that have clean rooms, a buzzing nightlife with decent casino and decent pool scene during the day.

Any recommendations?

Can either of you clarify a bit further what was good about the hotels you have mentioned, what type of trip were you on etc?

Planet Hollywood.

In the middle of strip, cheap, but clean, and at 05:00 in the morning when you can't sleep (as it is impossible to sleep in Vegas!) you can go and watch the Pleasure Pit girls whilst having a drink, and spending more money.

I went with family (for my wedding) to PH and always said if I went back with the boys I would stay there. If I went back with the Mrs, I would stay somewhere else. I know people that have been on stag do's and thought somewhere like Hooters hotel would be great (just behind the strip), but it was bad. Really bad. So bad and dirty they had to change hotels.

Also you are asking about it on PH, so perhaps an appropriate answer to stay in PH.

Planet Hollywood is at the top of my list at the moment, just looking to do as much research as possible before committing. I've also read some bad reviews on trip advisor saying it is getting a bit tired and dated.

Encore is the one you are looking for

Cosmo is also very good

Both of those look slightly upmarket for us if that makes sense!

My stag was to LV and we stayed at PH (PH towers) hangover style suites (big screens, wet bar, 2 jacuzzis in each suite), was amazing and really reasonable. Not sure what PH Towers is called now but well worth a look. Central strip location which IMO is where you want to be. PH is a real party hotel, perfect for a stag.

Edit and yes ALWAYS do the 20 dollar trick in Vegas, never had it fail http://www.thetwentydollartrick.com/

I assume you mean Planet Hollywood? How long ago was the stag do?

After sitting down with the comrades this evening we all agreed and booked the Mandalay Bay hotel. I'll definitely be trying to pop into as many of the hotels mentioned on here though to sample their events. Thanks for all the suggestions!

when you say shortly when do you mean? as far as I know the pool parties have all just ended, and some hotels even shut their pools now.

Mandalay bay is an ok choice, a little out of the way but not bad. Annoyingly being an mgm property they now charge for parking.

I'm going at the end of August next year, I meant I was booking it shortly I also won't be doing car hire so parking charges don't bother me.
