Advice on Hotels

I will be visiting in February for 3 days. I will have rental car.

Which hotel would you select. ?
I would like to have a nice HD TV in the room...at least a modernized TV.
Easy self parking (so I know the Planet hollywood would suffer).

LINQ for 35.00/night
Harrahs for 32.00 per night
PH for 44.00 / night
Flamingo for 55.00 per night

I am leaning towards the Linq; but with the High roller now running, I am not sure how busy the parking gets or if the casino is very busy.

My ideal type of hotel is Mandalay Bay, as the casino is normally not busy and self parking is easy....but Harrahs right now are giving best rates.
I was in Vegas Labor Day weekend and spent considerable time gambling in Harrah's and the Linq. We also cocktailed at the Linq and lunched at Guy Fiori's hamburger joint at the Linq (outstanding!).

I can't vouch for the rooms at either place, yet the Linq social areas are nicer and newer than Harrah's. From what I understand, all of the Linq rooms have been or will be renovated, so the project is not complete.

I do recall choking a bit when I received my bill for "well" double vodka tonics at a Linq casino bar. Doubles ran me $20 including tax and tip. I'll be drinking the same cocktail later today in Brownsburg for $5 including tax and tip.

I would take Harrahs for the price. I have stayed there many times and the rooms were fine. PH rooms are nice but for 12 dollars more each night why bother. Just follow the signs and parking is no big deal
Since parking is a concern, if you stay at the Linq do not park there, unless you are prepared to leave bread crumbs or hire a guide. It's that bad. Besides, there's a good chance your walk from the parking structure will take you past the place were people with dogs take their pets to relieve themselves.

Park at Harrah's instead. The first left after getting out of the elevator is a walkway to the Linq. And drive in from Koval, not the Strip.

Thanks for the info, I normally take Koval (unlike most of the cab drivers)....leaning towards Self park at Harrahs and room at Linq....
Or self park at Cosmo and room at PH
