I haven’t stayed downtown since 1987…I prefer the Strip. When I was single and travelled alone, I stayed at a few hotels that no longer exist. My wife and I enjoyed the Bellagio, but decided to try the Wynn about 10 years ago…we are now exclusively Wynn customers…rooms are nice (expensive, but nice) and there are so many wonderful restaurants…the casino is classy and the poker room is OK…nothing special…lacks atmosphere. The best poker room in my opinion is the Bellagio…it has lots of atmosphere, but you will be almost guaranteed to see some of the top poker pros…now, unless you’re made of money, you won’t be playing at their table, but it is still fun to see these players you watch on TV.
As for craps, I haven’t played since the 80s, so I couldn’t comment except to say that most people play in the hotel where they are staying.
