Poll Preview: What are your favorite Strip hotel-casinos?
Three years ago, we ran a poll on your favorite locals casinos (won by the Orleans, followed by South Point, Gold Coast, Sam's Town, and Red Rock). Looking back at the archives, we discovered that we've never run one on your favorite Strip casinos.
Yes, yes, we know that with resort fees, paid parking, lousy gambling, and the herd on the street, many of you avoid the Strip at all costs. Still, we also assume that you do have a favorite Strip hotel-casino, even if it's just your fondest memory of the last time you were there. The list includes only resorts that currently exist, not ones that used to be. And there's an extra choice at the bottom.
If you have any quibbles with our list, let us know. The poll itself will run a week from today.
From north to south (and yes, we're including Stratosphere, which won the poll we ran on the question last year handily, 58% in favor of and 42% against):
Strat
Sahara
Circus Circus
Encore/Wynn
Palazzo/Venetian
Treasure Island
Mirage
Casino Royale
Harrah's
LINQ
Flamingo
Cromwell
Caesars Palace
Bellagio
Bally's
Paris
Cosmopolitan

I no longer go to the Strip, due to paid parking, bad gambling, and a rip-and-tear vibe.
