It all depends on what do you want to do. The NY,NY is a great location you can walk to other casinos near or far by. Shopping with the fiancee Ceasars Palace is a good location. I have been going there for years now mainly to gamble and I prefer old downtown and most of the station casions. You will find most of the locals playing at the station casinos.
Where ever you stay use your club card when you play to earn your comps and in no time you will be getting room for free. Charge all your meals to your room and when you check out check with the pitboss to see if you played enough to get those meals comped.
Have fun and good luck.
