Vegas: I live there… Aria is the overall nicest resort, great selection of restaurants, 3 nice pools, Cosmopolitan is great too. Resorts such as Horseshoe, Flamingo, Harrahs are old and dated. Venetian is OK but not centrally located and the rooms feel dated. MGM is ok but not centrally located and often too crowded. Paris would be my 3rd choice. Bellagio is a bit stuffy and overrated, Wynn, too pricey and bad location.
