Let’s Vote - My Birthday in Las Vegas
I mentioned before I am going to Las Vegas for my 30th Birthday. That’s great and fun, but we are in a hotel dilemma.
First, let me say this will be my 5th trip to Vegas and 2nd trip with E3. I am also a cliche of “What happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas”. My trip with E3 and L- and her ex-boyfriend and then when I got to see N- are both under lock and key. Good times.
Here is the deal. I currently have a reservation at Hard Rock Hotel. It is off the Strip, but I could literally never leave the entire time I am there. But there are issues. I have heard of bad service and sub-par standards. But my birthday is May 22 and I want a Cabana at the pool on Sunday, May 25. Guess how much they want for a cabana Memorial Day Weekend. Just Guess. $300. $750. Nope. $5000. You saw it right. $5000. I called Tao but they are not taking reservations yet either. Probably will be the same price too. In hard times, I (my husband) has an issue with these prices. (I said you want me to push out your kid, I want a dream 30th birthday. Especially since he had one.)
So, we have heard my good friend N- is coming, but we don’t know where she booked yet. And our friends C- and B- might be coming too.
We are thinking of rebooking. Here are the options.
Four Seasons. I can get it for same price as Hard Rock. AND I LOVE THE FOUR SEASONS. I got married there. No qualms about leaving to party.
Wynn. So fab. Great price points. I can get a suite. On the strip. Quieter. (To recover) But I am going to have to leave no matter what to go to Drai’s, so does it really matter?
Red Rock. We have heard great reviews. So chic. Off the strip. Quieter. (To recover) Heard there is a great scene.
All have amazing pools. No Rehab on Sunday like at Hard Rock, but I am wondering if I care unless I have a cabana. Seriously, I don’t like to mingle.
Thoughts. I know you hated the dress I posted, it is really cute in real life though. Feed back on this please.
Whoa $5000 is a lot of jack for a cabana.
I vote for the Four Seasons.
I know. You can’t beat it. Period. Any city. It’s the best.
I love, love, love the Wynn!!! The service, rooms, cabanas are fabulous! I highly recommend it!!! It gets my vote!
I would go for the Wynn, Four Seasons, or Red Rock. I think it would still be fun, just a little more chic. Do any of these other hotels have cabanas available? I didn’t know they had a Four Seasons in Vegas? Good luck getting the trip planned! I can’t wait to hear about it!
We stayed at the Towers at the Wynn and it was wonderful. The Towers also has there own pool area.
Wynn is supposed to fab and have an amazing pool. I am leaning towards that.
Hmm… I’d probably go Four Seasons or Wynn. Seeing that it’s Memorial Day weekend though, staying off the strip might save a headache or two…. or allow you to recover from one rather
I vote for the Wynn!
I hit up Vegas 4/20 (my birthday is the 21st!) and am staying at The Mirage! Love love love it there.
I got a great deal through an airline package for flight and hotel.
Four Seasons gets my vote!
I vote for RedRock, it looks modern and hip!
It’s 11 miles outside the city.
That sucks!
I vote Wynn
I wish I could spend my bday in vegas, someday!!
I still think that you should stay at Hard Rock. The pool is Fab and plenty big so you will not have to mingle unless you need a taco on Sunday at Rehab. Plus they have those jello shooters at Rehad that are in a margarita glass one makes you totally silly!
I think you would enjoy either Red Rock or Green Valley Ranch Resort. They are owned by the same parent company. Both are beautiful with VIP pools/cabanas.
Whatever you do, wherever you decide to stay have a great 30th Birthday!!
Call up my ex “J” and have him pay!!! Sounds like super fun no matter where you finally decide on getting a room.
OMG Lisa! That trip years ago was so fun. Wish you were coming on this one too.
