Hi there,
I went to Vegas for my birthday a few years ago and we booked a block of rooms at The Hotel at Mandalay. This is a standalone luxury hotel which has no casino in it.
Rooms are huge with a living room with flat screen TV and a separate bedroom. The cost was about $300/night, but we split that 4 ways.
I'd highly recommend this if your budget permits.
Another great option is the Luxor. Decent price/value balance and easy access to everywhere else.
I've also enjoyed the Mirage.
Cheers,
Rahul
PS: Looks like I may have spent too much time in Vegas...
