2 21 year olds first trip to vegas, which would be the best for us to stay at in terms of fun for people our age? thanksWynn, MGM Grand, Planet Hollywood, or Luxor? best hotel?
Well the Wynn is certainly the best hotel from these options. Personally I think it's the best hotel in Vegas period! I've stayed in almost all of the hotels on the strip. The Luxor is fun too. MGM is nice but I always feel like there is an older crowd there. I'm not too familiar with Planet Hollywood yet. I really like the Wynn...it's top of the line and the clubs they have are fun.
I'm going to go off your list, hopefully you've got some flexibility.
The Palms is great for 21 year olds and so is Mandalay Bay.
If you are bound by your choices above, MGM is considered a much better hotel than the Luxor (the Luxor is the mid level hotel in the Mandalay Bay series, Excalibur being the poor mans hotel).
Planet Hollywood is all hype. The place is dead more often than it is busy.Wynn, MGM Grand, Planet Hollywood, or Luxor? best hotel?
Putting them in order from best to not as much for your age range (but it's all based on the amenities and the qualities that you're looking for too)
1) Planet Hollywood. It's got an upscale, hip hollywood feel, and attached to it is a pretty good sized mall called the Miracle Mile. The buffet is good and VERY filling, some fun shows to be seen at this hotel as well like Stomp out loud, "V", Steve Wyrick: Real Magic, etc.
2) Luxor. It's in the midst of undergoing some style changes.. there isn't much in the way of Egypt happening in this hotel anymore, it's like they're trying to go along the same lines as Planet Hollywood. The pyramid rooms are just cool, too. :) The cafe here is good, the buffet is just ok but it may have been revamped recently, so I'm not sure on that. Several shows to be seen here too.. Fantasy, Carrot Top, and Criss Angel's "Believe" (I don't recommend it.. poor reviews from all of the guests I've ever booked for the show and I was ready to leave halfway through when we saw it a couple of weeks ago. It is NOT a magic show...) One of the best things about this hotel is that it is directly connected to the Mandalay Bay and Excalibur by enclosed walkway AND a tram (mini-monorail style).
3) MGM Grand - I'm basing this in third over Wynn mainly on location of the strip (4 corners is what I call it, it's a hot area) and amenities. The prices for food at this hotel are high no matter how you look at it.. most of it is overpriced for what you get, as well (in comparison to other hotels). There is a lot to do and see here.. one of the Cirque du Soleil shows "KA" is here; AMAZING show though it hits the pocketbook a little hard. Be prepared for $130 to $180 per ticket.
4) Wynn. Don't get me wrong, this is my favorite resort in the city.. just gorgeous. Very upscale. Some nice ultra lounges and hip clubs to hit up... and is just across the street from Fashion Show Mall, Treasure Island and the Venetian/Palazzo. Expect anywhere between $199 and $399 a night for their resort rooms, which are very much worth what you get (The room's amenities make you feel like royalty.. the bed is heavenly, too!). This resort requires a $200 per day deposit when you check in, which some guests are not prepared for. So just a heads up. The best buffet in town is located here (in my opinion)... it's worth going for the desserts alone. Amazing!
If you are looking to party look at MGM or Planet Hollywood, Mgm has studio 54 and PH has Prive and The Playing field, all good for your age group, these places have in the past charged a cover, although depending on the day and with the economy the way it is they can be discounted or you maybe able to get free tickets from the hotel.
Check out www.vegas.com for other clubs that maybe appealing to you.
Have fun and good luck!
Well the Palms is probably one of the best if not the best for 21 year olds but thats like a mile or so from the Strip soooo out of those I suggest Planet Hollywood...
We're about the same age and stayed there this Summer an I really liked it a lot! There was a lot of places to drink, eat, and shop
I'd stay at Planet Hollywood if I were you. Location, location, location and more affordable than Wynn. Very close to all the happening spots for your age. I think Luxor is too far south to even bother with. MGM Grand is at the south end of the strip also, but not as far as the Luxor.
All are pretty close to one another so all will be "fun", its just a matter of price... Wynn is the most expensive then you have PH, MGM and Luxor.
