hi everyone,

i am taking my daughter to vegas for her 21st birthday april 14 - 17, 2009. it has been a good many years since i%26#39;ve been and i was wondering what is the best and/or cheapest way to book the trip? also, any recs you can give on accomodations? i%26#39;ve been looking at harrahs but its been about 10 years or so since i stayed there. i%26#39;m not looking to spend alot on the room, rather spend it on gambling, lol. i guess i%26#39;m trying to stay somewhere in the center of things, so that i can show her all vegas has to offer. thanks for any help you can give!

Try Monte Carlo. You can usually get good rates, not too bad a location, friendly smaller casino, foodcourt for cheap eats, O.K. rooms.

We always enjoy this hotel. Ask for a high room away from construction noise.

Happy Birthday to your daughter. Get someone to teach her how to play blackjack and craps and don%26#39;t get her started on the slot machines.

thank you for your fast response. i%26#39;ve been looking a travelocity for booking this trip. do you think its the best one?

I would look at smartervegas.com and look at promotions for all of the hotels to see where you can get the best deal. Book directly with the hotel so you can take advantage if prices go down.

Monte Carlo is going to be too quiet for a 21 year old. Try PH (Planet Hollywood), NYNY, MGM or possibly Harrah%26#39;s or Flamingo. Do check www.smartervegas.com for promotional codes. Do book directly with the hotel. Sometimes people book vacation packages and get good prices from airline websites. I noticed you are in N Carolina, could be US Airways would have some good deals for you. Also check expedia if you really want a package deal.

We took daughter and SIL for their 1st wedding anniversary, (ages 23 and 24 at the time, others in their group were 26 and 27), stayed at Harrah’s and they all thought it was great, really loved the Carnaval Court outside and also Margaritaville which was close.

Have a great time!

What a great birthday present. Unless you get a great package deal I would book directly with hotel. You can always cancel if a better rate comes up. Check fatwallet.com for great deals. Mirage might be another place to look at. Flamingo and Harrah%26#39;s have the location. Flamingo and Mirage have great pool areas also. Whichever you pick will be a great time.

thank you all for your responses. you%26#39;ve given me some wonderful information and i really appreciate it. i can%26#39;t wait to show my daughter las vegas, woo hoo!!!

I would recommend staying at the Mirage. You can get 30% off normal room rates during April. Also the location is great.

Take her to PH for her 21st it is a fun trendy casino. I just got back from there. Try expedia they had good sales resently
