Vegas Advice? Anyone? Anyone?

Now that I'm set for Atlantic City, I'm turning my focus to the next trip: LA & Vegas.

I have a shortlist of where I'm thinking of staying, but I haven't been to Vegas in so long the choices are overwhelming.

Of course I'll be checking out the Horseshoe, where this year three women took home gold bracelets in the WSOP: Kathy Liebert, Annie Duke, and Cyndy Violette. I'm not counting the all-women event for obvious reasons. Though I'm not saying it's not impressive. Now a lady just has to win the main event.

But back to Vegas: Anyone reading have a favorite place to play or stay? Current top contenders: The Bellagio, Mandalay Bay, The Mirage, Harrah's, Rio's.
