| - For the money, I think the best layout of a room in Vegas (aside from the top floor suites that most of us will never see) is the rooms at Rio. Rather than a long thin room with steps, the Rio has rooms that are w i d e. With full floor to ceiling windows. The Masquerade tower has the newer rooms and some better views. However, it's away from the main hall and the "action." The Ipanema tower is still a fine example of what a suite should look like - w i d e. I have stayed at the Venetian, Palazzo, and Encore which are all advertised as "suites." However, the are merely longer versions of a standard room with a stepped sitting area. Albeit, very nicely decorated, but I like the wideness of the Rio's rooms.
And, to get to the strip, they run a shuttle to both Paris and Harrah's every 30 minutes. Good idea if you want to hit the strip, enjoy the alcohol, and not worry about driving back. Yes, you could take a taxi, but I'm cheap, so a free shuttle is much better than a taxi that hits all the lights.
