Long ago the La Quinta on Paradise was used by many airlines. The place is completely ghetto now! May not even be a La Quinta any longer.
Good to hear they built a new one.

I'm guessing you meant to say the newly remodeled Tropicana? The Flamingo is not walking distance to Mandalay Bay. What's your trick to sneaking in to the Mandalay Pool? I used to have a key card that got me in there. Otherwise it seemed pretty difficult to get in there.

For those on this board thinking about getting into the industry, pay close attention to this -- Airline pilots can't afford a decent Vegas hotel and have to sneak in to places that have a good pool.

If I go first class, I stay at Venetian. On a budget I stay at Bally's. $60 during week. Not much to look at from the outside, but the rooms are new and nice. Plus, it's connected to Paris, and the casino chips are interchangeable.
If you really need to save money, I recommend staying downtown.

I think you meant Trop. As for as the Mandalay Bay pool, it is nearly impossible to sneak into. Totally surround and there is only one access point. It is like trying to sneak into Disney World. Good luck. You need a key that is current and valid and they will swipe it. Don't waste your time trying to sneak into the MB pool.

I pick up trips every couple of months in LAS and when I go I do a hotel/rental car deal. The best deal is about $50, which gets you a night at Circus Circus and a rental car at Dollar. I know everyone will say that Circus Circus is awful, but they just remodeled the West Tower and the rooms are better than most hotels I have ever been in. For May I had to pay an extra $5 to stay in the West Tower, but worth every penny.
FYI I have noticed in May it was $71 for a night at the Luxor and a rental car. So don't just limit yourself to a hotel when getting a rental car and hotel package may be a better deal.

I always stay at the Rio when I'm in Vegas. I like the theme and like the "all suite hotel" idea. The rooms are huge, Kcup machine, King beds, etc. I have stayed several times during the week for under $30/night and under $100/night on weekends. They also have the biggest "all seafood buffet" in Vegas too, if you are into buffets.
