I find Vegas chaotic, and I love how it allows me to escape in solitude to the chaos. The abundance of things to do at all hours of the day are a big positive in my choice of Vegas as a destination. Since many of my trips are solo, I find it a great escape in that room rates are cheap or comped when you have some play history and the ability to walk just about anywhere you want to go is an important aspect of the trip for me.

People who go solo to Vegas are just the coolest people ever. Stay cool. :-)
I don't think you're a jinx at all, because I'm lucky to have known you. Awww. Now, would you like to be my fake internet friend?

Bellagio
The heart of the strip and the resort that put luxury on the map. Even though Steve Wynn no longer owns or runs it, there is enough pride in the employees working here that they still deliver consistently good service.
Caesars Palace
There's a lot to not like about Caesars, their corporate parent seems hell bent on running the place down. Some of the towers are old and worn, and the odds on some of the floor games are atrocious. Despite these flaws though, there is still a strong foundation of employees here who deliver great service and understand the 'old school' way of taking care of customers. If you are in one of the newer towers too, the rooms are very nice and the dining, spa, and pool options are all top notch for a mid-strip property.
MGM Grand
MGM grows on me more as I stay at other resorts, there is just something being done right here and I can't put my finger on it, it's a huge mass of restaurants, casino floor, and entertainment, but somehow it all works. The restaurant offerings are top notch and the casino floor is big enough for you to find an isolated spot if you want even as the clubs are fueling up and the floor has 10k people on it. In many ways MGM is the Vegas that everyone markets, but like the Wizard of Oz once you stay here, it's easy to see behind the curtain and see that the marketing hype is just that, which lets you enjoy the place for what it is, and escape from the normal.
Flamingo
Solid all around resort. Location is great, employees are a bit hit and miss, but that fits with the average style of the resort. They could definitely use a fresh coat of paint in some areas and perhaps a carpet refresh, but overall, its still a gem on the level that it sits on.
