I have stayed at.....

Maxim - first ever trip we stayed here
Las Vegas Hilton - used to stay here almost every trip
LVH - does this count as a "separate" hotel?
Golden Nugget - only place I've ever stayed downtown
Palms - love the theaters here
Gold Coast - mail out great offers to non-locals
Rio - some great memories here of the WSOP, but also the site of my worst loss
Orleans - love all the amenities here
Silverton - love the Bass Pro Shops and low limit blackjack
Mandalay Bay - beautiful place, but have had bad losses here as well
Tropicana - love the renovation. may start staying here more often
MGM Grand - love the suites, love the Grand Garden Arena, hate the lack of luck here
New York New York - crowded place, takes too long to check in
Monte Carlo - run down
Aladdin - just before the changeover
Planet Hollywood - love the Miracle Mile Shops and shows
Paris - years ago, the buffet here was something special
Bally's - on our first trip (stayed at the Maxim) we gambled a bit here (won $800) and wondered how much money you needed to stay in a place like this!
Bellagio - another bad luck casino for me.
Caesars Palace - too convoluted
Flamingo - nice old school place
Imperial Palace - R.I.P.
Harrah's - scored big here one night long ago...
Mirage - site of my biggest ever score... too bad it mostly re-couping losses from other places!
Venetian - stayed here many times before Sheldon got all cheap on us
Palazzo - like the parking here much more than at Venetian
Encore - beautiful place, but how can anyone make this there "home base" ?
Stratosphere - lost about $5000 and pit boss gave me an unlimited comp for 4 at the Top of the World restaurant. Switched tables and won it all back about 30 mintutes later!

In September I will be adding Cosmopolitan to the list.

Imperial Palace - First trip
Hacienda - Second trip
Circus Circus - Next trip
Palace Station - My intro to locals joints. Stayed their a number of times
Boulder Station - Liked PS so much I decided to try it after opening. Became new home for while.
Sam's Town - This became LV home for a few years along with others in my group. Billy Bob's was a must
every trip and our group renamed the Ram's Head Bar the "Rock Bar." Lot's of memories
there.
Gold Coast - Another good value. Ate for the first time in the Cortez Room. PR special with salad hand
tossed tableside by waitress in a tux, $5.95! Stayed there 3-4 times.
Orleans - New home for a couple of years when it opened. Great room for the price and good food.
Sunset Station - Stayed here numerous times after buddy and wife moved to Green Valley.
Desert Inn - Great stay and play golf package. Walked the 18th hole like Jack and Arnie did, although I may
swung my club a couple more times than they did!
Silverton - Became my new home when Bob and Sue started playing her a lot. Had dinner in the cafe (pre
Twin Creeks), whole lobster for $13.95! Hit my first Royal here.
Stratosphere - Stayed here when friends went down for slot tourny. Not my new home.
Arizona Charlies Boulder - Room was a bit worn, but not bad for the price. Not much to offer in the casino.
Terrible's - Cheap comfortable rooms and great cafe. Casino was crowded, but I still satyed here a
number of times.
Wynn - Didn't stay here, but they sent me a comp for three night (including weekends) for select weeks
during the summer. Unfortunately I received the offer about three weeks before a planned trip
and they couldn't accomodate me for that week.
Green Valley Ranch - Received a two nite comp that coincided with a planned trip. Probaby my favorite
room in LV. Long walk from hotel tower to room though.
Sout Point - King room was like the Orleans with a large bathroom. Got a queen room once though and
found that you get a table and chairs but lose the sitting area alcove.
Red Rock - Same comp as GVR (I had somebody fooled). Basically the same room, but more contemorary.
Much easier access to the casino than GVR.
Four Queens - First stay downtown. Small room, but decent. Chicago Brewing pours the stiffest drinks I've
had in LV.
California - Comfortable room with easy casino access. Very good inevpensive food. I like having the snack
bar latenite on the way to the room. Skybridge to the 777 Brewery, or as some call it, Main
Street Station is nice, but I prefer to be on Fremont if I stay downtown.

I think that's all of them in LV. I can't really remember any that were bad, but then I'm easy to please. As long as it's clean I'll probably be happy. I plan to try a few more DT, but I still prefer the locals places overall. I also like to try and stay at places my friends like to play in and they don't do the Strip or DT, so I'll probably see more of my current home at SouthPoint.

Good Luck!

Venetian/Palazzo is my main place, but I really like to cross off a new hotel/casino if possible. I saved the card key to many (yes I understand there is personal information on them, but I have them tucked away in a fairly safe spot).
