Area 51 / Vegas bday trip Hotel input plz

LiquidChaos66

Pricing out cars and rooms in Vegas... Woot! Cheap rental and nice hotel room? or expensive rental and cheap hotel room? Who has been to Vegas and where did you stay? Recommendations? We will only be in Vegas for one night so it wont be an extended stay. Possibly somewhere with a cigar lounge....

I am currently looking at ARIA Resort & Casino... The corner suite.

the one time I was there I stayed at the Vedara (sp?), which was REALLY nice and didn't have a casino in it so it was much more peaceful at the end of the night. I think it's part of the same complex as the Aria and I'm sure it's the same as the Cosmopolitan. The hallways also have a great view of the water show at the Bellagio.

The Cosmopolitan is fantastic. The studios with a view of the fountain from the balcony are worth the money if you ask me. I've stayed there a few times and my wife and I love it. Even the "small" rooms are awesome and they all have balconies which is really rare in Vegas. Even if you don't stay there you should at least walk through there. For a cigar lounge I'd say Casa Fuente in the forum shops, best selection of sticks within walking distance of those hotels.

As expected, the are a little higher. But bring your own, buy a couple queen B's or king B's and have a good time.

Sadly i dont have anything that will safely transport cigars.

We are only gonna be in Vegas for one night and most of a day. The grand plan is to fly into Vegas, get our car, drive out to Rachel (151 miles away) stay the night and see the Area 51 sights. The next day drive back into Vegas and putter around the strip, have dinner and take in the night. Then check out and fly home the next day. So ultimately im gonna be throwing down over 350+ miles on a the rental and little time in the hotel.

If you aren't there on a weekend and willing to do a bit of haggling, after dark helicopter tours of the strip are awesome and rather affordable. It was ~$100 for two of us last time I was there, and about a 30 minute flight. Really cool and gets you back in time for a late dinner around 9.

You may want to check out the Fountains show at the Bellagio but don't waste your time on the Sirens show at TI.

Totally agree, the Sirens BS was the biggest waste of time we did when I was there. Has the quality of low budget porn with none of the good parts.
