It depends entirely on your budget and what you want to do. More details will yield better recommendations.





Knowing nothing else I recommend staying on the strip, somewhere like Bally%26#39;s, Imperial Palace, or Mirage.



1st time to vegas.. Downtown or the strip


If it%26#39;s your first trip and you are coming to do more than gamble, I would HIGHLY suggest the Strip. Downtown can be fun, but the modern Vegas you%26#39;ve heard all about is on the Strip and commuting back and forth from Downtown everyday would be a pain, IMO.




Just me, but the GN should be cheaper than that. Maybe something is going on during that time. Is that price airfare included? Surely not.





You can stay on the strip for all the glitz and glamour if you like, but downtown is going to be cheaper and you can always get a cab/deuce bus, etc. to the strip. The GN is one of, if not THE nicest property downtown. I liked it.




Unless you have a rental car, I%26#39;d say stay on the strip for your first time. Make sure to visit downtown and see how you like it (many of us do like it there)....but as SC said, most of what you%26#39;ll likely see on your first trip is Strip Oriented.




Oops.....I meant ';As LauraSue said'; not SC....wrong thought process!!!




I agree with the others. Stay on the strip. Save downtown...Freemont Street experience for after dark when you can see the light show.



You%26#39;ll see what we mean.




Our 7th trip is coming up and we still prefer to stay on the strip rather than downtown. We have visited downtown and it just wasn%26#39;t our thing.





I would definitely say stay on the strip, especially for a first visit.




The air and hotel for 500. cnd? Sounds like a real good deal if it is.. if its just hotel, not so much.





Like the previous posters, I think a first trip deserves the Strip. If you want to stay on the strip, also try Harrah%26#39;s and Bills.





Then again you will not get the whole Vegas experience in just 3 full days. I think downtown would be nice for a short trip because it is so easy to get around.





Downtown is good for casino hopping... they aren%26#39;t far apart or huge like the ones on the strip. You can also get a taxi to take you to the strip.. (I think about 20US plus tip).. not quite sure about that price but close...





But like the previous posters said, the glitz and glamor and tigers and shopping and indoor skies and statues and roller coaster rides... all on the strip.




First time - Definitely stay on the strip.




Two nights is simply not enough. If the $500 includes airfare for two, it may be a bargain but your too far from the stirp with not enough time to explore.





Do shop around for other packages and try to get 3 nights on the strip.
