planet hollywood: these are my top 3 choices! : Ceasers palace ( pool closed, construction) the venetian resort hotel Planet Hollywood They are all very good deals now, but i cant decide! no gambling. what are your reasons for which ones are best and nicest? please help! thanks.|||It's strange that Caesar's would close down their entire pool, if it weren't for that I would probably choose that one out of the 3 for a family vacation. It's quieter and a classic. PH is more of a party hotel for the young crowd, not too great for families, more for the 21 and over crowd. Venetian just not somewhere I would want to stay. It seems like a place for middle-aged people with money who want to be somewhere quiet. Have you considered Mandalay Bay? They have an awesome pool area and everytime we run into someone while we are there who are with their family, that is where they are staying. They have an awesome pool complex with real sand, a lazy river, and more. Another more affordable option is Excalibur. That's where we took our girls for a family vacation and they loved it. It is a castle, so that went over well, and they also have a midway downstairs with all kinds of Carnival games that are affordable. They also have the Tournament of Kings dinner show which is great for kids, and it comes with a meal. It is one of the last hotels left that caters to families with children.

Rather than find one hotel for the family, think of lots of activities across the Strip. Mandalay Bay has a great pool and lazy river and they have Shark Reef Excalibur has Tournament of Kings dinner show Mirage has Love cirque show (Beattles tribute) and Treasure Island has Mystere, both family oriented and fantastic for all Circus Circus has Adventure Dome Amusement Park (indoors) and the manor/motel has a pool right outside Caesars does have Forum Shops with anamatromic statute shows/free NYNY has scream rollercoaster Next to MGM Grand is movie theatre and Game Works Sorry but that is why Vegas is known as the Adult Entertainment Capitol of the World Vegas found several years ago the family orientation was more difficult to control than ever expected and most casinos removed the arcades and other family entertainment|||The Venetian is more laid back and quieter than the others. Not sure what you are looking for. The Fashion Show Mall is just across the street. More upscale at that end of the strip.|||IMO, the two best for families are the Orleans and Excalibur. It would be easier to narrow it down if I knew the ages of your kids. Orleans http://www.orleanscasino.com/things-to-d鈥?/a> Excalibur http://www.excalibur.com After the above, I would probably go with the MGM Grand or Mirage. Caesars Palace would be a good one, but if the pool is closed, no way. ~Jack~|||Excalibur, Circus Circus or the NYNY are kid friendly, not CP, Mirage or Bellagio and for sure not the Venetian, they cater to the high class people..
