Which Hotel is the closest to Forum?

[dmr]

Well, yer a bit late for this year, but Linq and Harrah's.

[wyatt_earp]

As stated, Linq & Harrah's are close, as is Flamingo. The walk from some place like Caeser's Palace, Paris, or the Venetian is ~10min. There's also this:

There is also a smaller more expensive one called The Cromwell next to Flamingo, but I don’t think many people stayed there.

Since this question came up so frequently as DC30 grew closer, I worked out the distances and it was pinned in discord:

note: point used for reference as "the forum" is the location of the scavenger hunt table, which was right in the center of the forum for dc30

I heard nothing but bad things about linq and was quite happy I stayed in harrahs

[dmr]

I had no issues at all at the Linq. My only complaint (about the room, that is) was a shower instead of a tub, but for less than a week I can put up with it.

Drink prices at the bars at Linq were obscenely high! :(

The Linq has taken out just about all of the machines they had which I like, so I played most of the time over at Casino Royale.

I heard many negative things about Linq as well. Harrah's was awesome. We were very happy with our room. Harrah's housekeeping staff were super nice, concierge went above and beyond and even the Harrah's FedEx shipping center staff were great. 100% positive experience. Booked Harrah's for DC31.
