The shortlist
- The Venetian — suite-heavy inventory means one booking covers six comfortably; the canal backdrop photographs beautifully
- MGM Grand — south-Strip location near nightclub country, cheapest king-size floor plans, and a serious pool complex
- The Cosmopolitan (nearby reference) — terrace suites for those who want a hot tub with a Strip view
- Planet Hollywood — center position near Miracle Mile shops for costume runs and last-minute accessories
What matters for groups
Sleeping capacity, one bathroom per four guests, and pool access before noon. Book suites with sofa beds rather than adding rooms — the price gap is usually thinner than you expect.
Budget reality, 2026
- Six guests, two nights, two-bed suite group: ~$1,900–2,500 with fees, midweek
- Weekend festival dates: budget triple
- Resort fees bill per room, not per guest — fewer rooms is cheaper structurally
