I am trying to decide between the Paris, the Bellagio, the Venetian and the Aria.  I will be traveling solo to just get away and will be looking to play some blackjack and maybe some poker tourneys.  I will also be looking to do a couple of nights of hobbying and want easy access to multiple quality dining options.  Could some Vegas vets or locals give me the scoop?  Thanks in advance!

Location is the best IMO, and there are loads of quality dining options in this area at the Bellagio itself, and the nearby City Center complex.

I would not bother staying at Paris, although its pretty nice, and right across from the Bellagio and just a short walk down to City Center.

Venetian standard rooms are very nice and large, and as its connected to the Palazzo, and right next door to Wynn and Encore, there are also loads of top notch restaurants to choose from.

Escorts will be very happy to visit you at any of the four hotels you mentioned.

You cant go wrong with any of them to be honest.

It is connected to the Aria by a walkway. Rooms are less expensive, elevators are no problem. More $$$$ for hobbying.
And you can still enjoy what you want at Aria. You can get a suite at Monte Carlo for less an a room at Aria.

Just my .02 cents worth.

I've stayed at the Venetian but I prefer the Palazzo over the Venetian. They are owned by the same people and the Palazzo is newer than the Venetian. I've never stayed at the Paris but have gone there to purchase my show tickets and go to their theater. I prefer the North end of town where the Venetian, Palazzo and Wynn are located. That way you can have access to the mall, shopping at the Palazzo/Venetian and gamble without seeing the riff raft. I stayed at the Wynn my last time and prefer the Wynn over them all. The Wynn has the best dining variety and dining quality.

Agree.  Have stayed at Monte Carlo several times and love it.  No security at the elevators and reasonably priced gambling

It tends to attract the less skilled poker players.

Definitely not wanting to spend too much on the room so I have more to spend on the ladies. You are a mind reader!

Decent rooms and extra $$$$ for fun...

Vdara is nice

no casino so less activity

close proximity to Aria and Monte Carlo and Bellagio casinos

but u have to come down and get your girl

My suggested order of preference would be: Aria, Bellagio, Venetian, Paris. All have good food, full casinos, and providers will be happy to visit you there.
