You won t find a suite that will accommodate 8 people on the strip, at least one where the hotel allows that many. Most suites still only sleep 4 people, sometimes (rarely, maybe) 6. The suites in all the hotels are very expensive, particularly the large suites, and you ll definitely save money by booking 2 rooms. You can request adjoining rooms and make your own little mini-suite in that sense.The basic rooms in the Venetian are all suites - you have either a king bed or two queens in the room, and then there is a large sectional sofa in the living room area. Two of those would easily accommodate your group. The Venetian is a higher priced hotel, but you definitely get more room for your money if that s what you re looking for. They ve been running some good rates lately too.The Palms has some amazing suites, but they typically run several thousand dollars a night, and the Palms is also not on the strip.
Suite or room you are still limited with only four people per room. If you get caught with that many in one suite you will more than likely be asked to leave or to rent another suite and still have to pay for two extra people per room.
Honestly 2 rooms is a much better idea than 1 suite.2 rooms = 4 beds, 2 tvs, 2 bathrooms.1 suite = 1 bed, 1 tv, 1 bathroom.
