Las Vegas-Harrah's help.

[Pom]

Mr. Pom and I have decided to go to LV for my 45th birthday weekend in February.  We have minor status with Total Rewards and this will get us:

A free room for the entire stay at the Rio, Bally's, The Flamingo, Harrah's or Planet Hollywood.

We can pay for Fri/Sat to stay at Paris or Caesar's.  Avg. $33/43 per night.  (Comps Thurs/Sun)

I have stayed at the Rio, The Flamingo, etc...but it's been 10 years.

What would you choose and if you've stayed at Caesars, which tower do you prefer.  

Details:  We go to LV to gamble and dine.

Update-after putting in Mr. Pom's TR # we are comped at Caesars up to Nobu, so Roman, Palace or Forum.  

We are comped at The Cromwell, The LINQ, or Red Room Premier at Paris.

Your pick?

Agree w/ @rennido. We stayed at The Flamingo in 06 and although it's been 8 years, I think Paris and Caesars are still nicer.

I like paris because of the location and it's not so huge like caesars. I also love mon ami gabi for breakfast

Those Caesar rooms are the low ones (google and you'll find a site just on choosing a room at that hotel). Octavias and Augustus towers are better. Note I haven't stayed there, but I have stayed at Paris multiple times and recommend it, especially a room with a view of the fountains.

If you walk Paris to Bally's, exit the side street, head away from the strip for 2 blocks, there's a mini mart with soda, food, and alcohol.

I myself might try the Cromwell since the interior is brand new. And I want to see if it's worth the price they are asking.

Have fun!

I ended up booking Forum Tower at Caesars. We are comped for all four days. Thanks! And for the recommendation for Mon Ami Gabi.

We just got back on Friday from staying at the Forum Tower for 5 days.  We were in a Deluxe King room and it was very spacious.  They have a Keurig in the room but no complimentary K-cups.  You can buy a coffee pack of 4 cups for $12.  We went to Walgreens and bought a box of 12 for $10 but I would have brought some from home if I would have known that.

Was it a decent location or did it feel way far away from everything?  We could cancel and stay across the street at Paris or The Cromwell, what do you think?   Thanks for the coffee tip.

I thought the location was great. We do a lot of walking when we are in Vegas and I thought the position on the strip was perfect. It is a huge casino and to get outside you do have to walk about half way through the casino floor from the forum tower. We also got a Groupon and rode the High Roller Ferris Wheel at night with the open bar. It was really neat and the views were fantastic.

Caesars is pretty centrally located which is great for LV.

Have fun. Definitely check out the new High Roller Ferris Wheel it is amazing at night!
