This post has come just in time for me. I am planning on going to a convention in Vegas in April. I think it is the 2nd largest convention they have, so there should be plenty of drunk gamboolers. I play 3/6, 4/8, might be able to play 6/12. I'd like to stay where I play for various reasons.

MGM sounds perfect for me, poker-wise. But I'd rather stay more center strip and I get no vibe about the hotel itself.

Ballys sounds good, I played there in September and it is good for me poker-wise.

I can get a decent deal at Bellagio, but the poker sounds too good for me. Am I wrong?

Wynn and Venetian would be great, but cannot afford it. Too bad.

Don't forget about the monorail. You can get on it at MGM and get off at the convention center. It's like $5 if you do it per trip, less if you buy multi-trip tickets. Walking the strip is a hssle, especially if there's a big convention in town. Personally, I like staying at the MGM and find that I don't need to leave the property for much, the poker is good, the nightlife and dining are good, etc. If you want/need to leave, the monorail is great, especially if going to the convention center.
