Re: Best place for broke college kids
As much as I like Downtown, I don't think it would be the spot for a bach party? It does have cheap gambling for the tighties.
I would lean towards a cheap place off in the middle of nowhere and rent a car (big vehicle so can fit everyone, and only one designated driver). You could get something pretty nice and fun, like, I dunno, a hummer or something? Car rentals are pretty cheap in Vegas. Look around on fatwallet.com forums or something and see if you can get an upgrade code for free.
With a car, you can go to the strip, go downtown for cheap gambling (park at Binions) and go to the strip club.
Also, if you want a cheap, decent downtown hotel, I've stayed at the plaza several times and it's OK. Slipping the check in at the desk a $20 would get you a decent upgrade, because I've done it with a $10 twice and gotten upgraded. That said, I don't think they even have any big suites, although the upper ones have a wet bar and stuff.
