When in Vegas.... I have never stayed at the normal hotels. I have stayed at the Monte Carlo, my favorite since the girls there are the best looking. I've stayed at the Venetian, nice BIG rooms, Paris is cool but a tad boring and Bally's where I had a 3000 sq/ft suite and that was SWEEET. My preference is the Monte Carlo, they have a great cigar bar with super port and restaurants and reasonably priced.

Just noticed that you asked POINTS. Both of the hotels you mentioned are on Paridise Road? A little, 3 minute walk off the strip, no worries...
