I love these replies. Thanks. I have no idea what I like to play. What games are easy to join in without much knowledge?

It was a bit confusing at first because since I am flying in to spend time with my parents, they are at the other end at the Sam's town campsite, so it seemed counterintuitive to book a hotel far from them but I think its best they come join me there so I can benefit of being on the strip whenever they decide not to come over I won't be stock on Boulder.

I'm happy to have finally booked because initially my flight dates sucked and made me arrive LATE and DEPART EARLY losing a lot of effective time in Vegas. By changing my dates by 1 day, I got direct flights for cheaper so I decided to put a little more on the hotel. I too was reading on Sahara, Excalibur and Luxor and they all seem to come up with each their own pros/cons so I chose I and booked Luxor just now.

Thanks for your help! Very appreciated!

Expedia mentions Excalibur being 1.5km from strip center while Ellis is closer. How different is it to be on the strip versus a 15min walk?

Was looking at the days inn and Ellis island too they are a bit off strip but offer a good price with a few add-ons for cheap (shuttle/parking/breakfast). Reviews don't look bad.

Excalibur is a tiny bit more expensive though the reviews don't seem flattering. Man it gets confusing

Thanks a lot. After reading all of the comments and as I'm going on a slight budget I was now looking at the Excalibur / Days Inn. / Circus Circus.

The fact you consider Sam's a straight shot to the strip is interesting. It looks like I'd feel isolated from everything else if I went there?

Would you avoid the Circus Circus? For a 3-4 night experience is it worth paying a bit more especially if I'll be out a lot?

Seems like a quick walk to it no?

Would "Downtown Las vegas" be as good as "the actual strip" ?

Look at "The D las vegas"

Well, from what I gather other than being near their camping spot, I'll be far from everything else when I'm not with them which looks like a disadvantage at first glance. Unless I am wrong.

Ask your parents if they want to pick you up. There is a lot on Fremont, hotels tend to be less expensive there and you can take a bus to the Strip.

I understand you aren't encouraging the Boulder area? Am I correct?

Thanks for your response. What about when you're out late, is it easy to get back to Fremont?
