Vegas HELP! MGM or TI

[Ok321LetsJam]

OK, so my wife and I are headed to Vegas again. We've been twice already: the first time we stayed in Excalibur, the second the Trop (we see the hotel room as a place to shower and sleep, we're not looking for ultimate luxury).

So, while looking online at various travel services, we came across airfare/hotel accomodations for MGM Grand and TI. Both are great prices (cheaper then the Trop and Excalibur for the same stay), with TI about $20 cheaper then MGM. Here's my dilemma: both are rated 4.2 out of five (all the travel reviews), and nobody compares the two, so I would like to solicit your opinions.

I am leaning towards the TI (since we stayed on the south corner of the strip before), but we both love New York New York and Excalibur. Which one do you guys prefer? Or, should we be frugal and go with the Imperial Palace (remember, room is for sleep and shower).

Re: Vegas HELP! MGM or TI

I have stayed at TI about six times and I always thought it was a very nice place to play. I also stayed at NYNY one time and it was nice, but a little below the quality of TI.

I have never stayed at MGM, but I did stay once at Imperial Palace. I would not stay at IP again. First of all, the rooms were not of a good quality and, secondly, they gave me a room near the Carnival Courtyard at Harrah's. The noise was extremely loud and lasted until late in the morning.

I now try to stay at different places when I visit Vegas, unless I have a free room offer.

My wife and I are going to Vegas in a few weeks and we are staying two weeknights for free at Excalibur in an upgraded widescrren room.

On the weekend we are trying out Palazzo. If you sign up for their guest book they will send you an offer for $139 during the week and $179 on weekends. It includes $25 in gaming credit each night (machines or table games), plus other bonuses. That is a really great rate for such a nice property.
