Do you think that Chicagos weather has been crazy lately? -

Only for people who live in chicago answer this question

Not really. I ve lived in the Chicagoland area for 45 years, and I ve seen about everything. For example, tornados in January (that was in 2007), snow in April, Fourth of July in the 60 s. Chicago s weather goes through spells. Sometimes it s normal, sometimes it s not. We ve had a very wet year in 2009, and I hope that doesn t last into 2010. Today the weather is very normal for a mid-November day. The snow usually starts flying around Thanksgiving. The last two Decembers have been very snowy, so we ll have to see what happens this time around.

It has been either unusually warm or constant rain for the past month.

Which hotel should we stay at? -

We are going to Vegas in the middle of January for my 21st birthday, but not sure where to stay at. What are you opinions of the hotels and casinos Stratosphere, Flamingo, Monte Carlo, NY NY, and Excalibur? Any other suggestions?

Avoid Stratosphere - it s a nice enough place, but in a bad location. There are some seedy areas nearby, and it s close to nothing else.Flamingo is nice and has a great location right in the center of the strip. The GO rooms there are particularly nice.Monte Carlo is a laid back place, in a good location. It s nice enough, but nothing special. Definitely not a big party hotel, but it s fine.NYNY is a ton of fun, and also in a pretty good location. It s not really in the center of the strip, but there is a lot going on in it s area. It s not a fancy place, but it s nice and fun. Definitely a good place for young people, and you re near MGM and Planet Hollywood, which are also fun places.Excalibur is a good budget resort. Pretty good location, but nothing special. It caters a bit to families, so you might see more kids there than at some of the others.In the order I would choose:NYNYFlamingoMonte CarloExcaliburStratosphere

Stratosphere is nice but NOT on Strip, not a safe walk after dark. The closest hotel is Sahara.Flamingo is nice, walking distance to Caesars Palace, Bills, Ballys, Bellagio and Paris.Of the ones listed, I would take Excalibur because they have been advertisement very discounted rates. Excalibur is connected by free tram and walkway to Luxor and Mandalay Bay. They are easy walking distance to Tropicana, MGM Grand, NYNY and Monte Carlo and the new City Center. NYNY and Monte Carlo are great. Pick the one with the best room deal.

Too funny! I m going to vegas for my 21st in january too. The 17-20 to be exact.It took me a while to decide, but I m staying at the monte carlo, mainly for the location. The last time I went I was 16 and stayed at the Imperial Palace. Not too nice, but it was a bed to sleep in. I heard the Stratosphere is okay, but in some of the rooms, you can hear and feel the rides sometimes. NYNY, from what i ve heard and researched seems to be crawling with little kids because of all the rides, and I m not too sure about Excalibur.

Everybody wants to stay on the strip,but myself love the golden nugget which is in the original downtown area in fremont street it s not far from the strip and to be honest,it s one of the best hotels in vegas,if you go to the golden nugget,check you the golden nugget in the display case,the biggest ever found.Whatever hotel you choose,you will have a great time these are the hotels I have stayed inGolden Nugget...http://www.goldennugget.com/home.aspMirage...............http://www.mirage.com/?CMP=KNC-Google-Mi��Bally's...............http://www.ballyslasvegas.com/casinos/ba��Caesar s Palace..http://www.caesarspalace.com/las-vegas-h��

If you are just turning 21 you ll probably want to be at a hotel that skews a little younger than Bellagio. Planet Hollywood is right on the strip. As is Caesars Palace, which has the PURE nightclub. The Palms is a hot hotel but it is well off the strip. Hard Rock is off the strip but walking distance. All the spots you mention are middle of the road. Strats is way north, far from most of the action. Monte Carlo, NY NY, and Excalibur are all on the same corner. NYNY has Coyote Ugly, which you might enjoy for your 21st. Whatever you do don t party and then drive. Take taxis or if you really want to do it right get a limo for the night.For more info on all the hotels and where they are see this site.http://www.smart-tourist.org/lasvegas/ho��

hi,anywhere at the strip is good, i d say circus circus or bellagio should be good, but do check the age limit again. Flamingo should be good to but a little bit off from the center, you might need to do a bit of walking. There are plenty of taxis so no need to worry about transportation. Check out these sites, it has detailes info on the hotels, locations, rates, contact details etc..http://www.holidaycity.com/lasvegas-stri��http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotels-g45963��have fun!

Stratosphere - wrong part of town do not stay thereFlamingo - you will be the youngest people there !Monte Carlo - nice good quality hotel but not as much fun as some othersNYNY - te best of the bunch but most expensivExcalibur - basic hotel great location cheap rates Think about MGM lovely lively hotel great rooms and rates http://vegasuncovered.wordpress.com/2009��

Stayed at Monte Carlo. It s very low key but in a decent location; has good prices too. Flamingo has a great pool and a great location, but in Jan. who cares about the pool. NY, NY, might be a good idea.My fave is Mirage and then I recently tried TI Planet Hollywood. Off the strip either Hard Rock or Palms.Good luck and enjoy!

From the hotels above I would choose NYNY but you cannot go wrong with any of these hotels. I would also consider to stay at MGM or Mandalay Bay, these are very nice hotels IMO. Before you book I would check the current hotel promotion codes on http://www.vegas-hotels-online.com - this can save money.

Stratosphere is too far away on the end of the strip. Bellagio is pretty expensive. Flamingo is not too bad in the center of the strip. Harrahs, Mirage Treasure Island are inexpensive good location. Planet Hollywood is pretty neat. Have fun. :)
