Since you've paid for rooms before, your best bet is to do an internet
search before each stay. You should also reconsider the Wynn since you would
also get offers comparable to what you've been getting from Venetian. I've
stayed at every major property on both sides of the Strip except Monte Carlo
& I have to say that the standard rooms & suites, in general, are better
at Venetian/Palazzo & the best at Wynn/Encore. Regarding service, it all
depends on what you're looking for. I've had excellent service at just about
every property including the Harrah's properties that you don't like but in
specific cases, it's also been awful. On average the restaurants at Venetian
are very good, Wynn's are even better but I stopped going to Venetian 2
years ago due to bait & switch tactic on an offer & some other things that I
noticed -- all ties go to the casino, it wasn't always that way but you
could see the handwriting on the wall.

I used to be a Harrah's Diamond member but stopped playing there when they
trashed the VP and let everything else go downhill. For the past few years
when I've stayed on the Strip I've gone to Venetian/Palazzo where I've
either gotten comped rooms or decent deals ($129 a night plus food/show/slot
credits). But the rumors of their eliminating comps other than to the
high-rollers seem to be true. When I asked about rooms for June, I was quoted the
same rate I could get thru any site online. And they said to be comped, it
would take 4-6 hours of $2 VP or $250 average bet at the tables. If they
had decent VP I might be able handle that, but not with the games they
offer.
I'll see if I get an e-mail offer for June, but otherwise we'll be
shopping around for the Strip part of our visit. Any ideas on other places on the
Strip? I remember Wynn being very tight. What about the MGM properties
these days?
