New York, New York and Circus, Circus, both have rides. Keep in mind though walking around can be quite fun by itself. That's pretty much all I do while I am they besides see shows and shop.
Personally I prefer to stay at Bills Gambin’ Hall because it is right in the middle of The Strip and it is usually the cheapest. Also if you get lucky you can see the water show from your room.

Depends on what you want to spend. If you're looking to save cash, the Sahara might be a good bet. Last time I was there, you could get a decent room there for about $25 a night. In addition, the monorail stops there, so it's easy to get around from there.
Moving upwards from there, I've stayed at these places and enjoyed them.
- The Hilton
- MGM Grand
- The Palms
- MGM Grand Signature
- The Wynn
- The Real World Suite at the Palms

If budget is not an issue... Bellagio or MGM Grand
If budget is an issue....stay off the main strip.
No matter what, keep one thing in mind....how much time are you REALLY going to spend in your room? If opulence and impeccable service are important to you, then go ahead and splurge if you can afford it. If you don't plan on staying in the room much and mostly want a room to sleep and clean up and change clothes, almost anywhere off the strip will do.

Bellagio is always my choice.
Keep in mind if you are on the strip there will be NO shortage of "non gambling" things to do...
There are monorails that run behind the hotels on either side of the street. They don't take you everywhere, but it's more than enough.
And of course, you can just walk, too. The best "rides" are at The Stratosphere. Hope yer not afraid of heights.

As crazy as this sounds... The tropicana. BUT, not the lower cost rooms. The more expensive ones are pretty nice. Plus it's in a great location.
The casino etc sucks, but that does not matter. You're close to MGM, NY NY, Excalibur, Mandalay etc.
I found Bill's to be great also.
sometimes dumpy and cheap but really big rooms (like condos) can be had at the Alexis Park. I've had to change rooms there several times until I got an acceptable one. But when I did, it was two stories, two bedrooms and three baths. Nice and newly renovated.

We liked the Hard Rock when we went 5 or so years ago. It's just far enough off the strip to not be overly crowded. Can't tell ya rates, unfortunately it was a family vacation when I was 17.....
But it was nice, they have a sweet pool. Small casino if I remember, but they have a shuttle to the strip.

Thank you so much for all your help guys!!!!
I hate to be a pain in the butt but can all of you tell me the diff between:
off the strip...downtown...on the strip.....Is the distance between all those really that far apart.
This is going to be my first time going and I really want to enjoy my stay.

Tough to find a map online that shows both. This one will have to do for now.
The main map shows "the strip" - the section of Las Vegas Blvd that has many/most of the bigger, big name hotels and attractions.
The hotels along the strip tend to be nicer, posher, more "Vegas-y", and not surprisingly, more expensive. There ARE cheaper ones there, but you may have to do some hunting.
The blue dotted line indicates the path of the monorail. You'll note as it goes north, it curves off of the strip and runs behind it a bit, stopping at the Hilton and other places. These hotels are considered "off the strip" - they're close enough to the strip that you could walk to it if you desire. These tend to be a bit cheaper because of that, although again, you'll want to shop around. The Sahara is technically "on the strip", for instance, but since it's at the north end away from many of the "hip" places, it's usually on the cheap end. Whereas the Palms is off the strip, but since it's rather trendy, it'll be a bit pricier.
"Downtown" is also (or used to be?) called "the old strip". It's located a bit of distance from the (new) strip. Not sure of the exact distance, but it's a bit a of a walk. It has the older hotels, and it's what used to be the center of Vegas. If you know that U2 video for "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For", that's where it was filmed. They've revamped it and made it a bit hipper, but it's generally cheaper than hotels on the strip. However, you'll be a bit removed from most of the attractions, and you might end up taking a cab over to the strip, so factor that in.

I've found the Imperial Palace to be a good bargain. Right in the "middle" of "The Strip", across from Ceasar's, and next to Harrahs, and "cheap"! Great location, but the "Hotel 8" of "The Strip"! 
Not a "bad" place, but you won't be spending all that much time there, anyway!
Keep smilin'!!

forget the bellagio/winn - if you are looking for a great property with GREAT service, then check out the four seasons....the only place I will stay on the strip
(sure it costs more but so worth it.) They even remember your pillow preferences from one FS property to the next.

You are talking miles. “The Strip” is about 4 to 6 miles one way. Downtown is nicely grouped, but about 10 miles or so from “The Strip”. Off “The Strip” is any casino not directly on it so distance differs depending where you are going too.
Personally I prefer to rent a car. I have been many times and I go to most locations. I find renting a car is cheaper than taking a taxi. Most drivers seem to rip off people anyways.
As a tip: stay in busy areas and with others if you can. It gets really dark in between casinos once you leave “The Strip”.
Second tip: If you have the time and money go see The Blue Man Group. It is worth it.

It's about 5.5 miles from the south end of the strip to old downtown. I don't think of it as an especially nice walk.
I seem to remember the monorail (on the MGM side) being, what, $6 a ride? (?) Not much cheaper than a taxi in the long run if you're just jumping between hotels.
Another option that hasn't been brought up is the bus that travels the strip. It's clean, safe and runs often. (You can buy an all day ticket. At least one route will take you up to Fremont.) You can really save some dough by taking it: spend that money on a nicer room, or a show, or some of the *really* great dining options you have.

^ That's excellent advice !
I was amazed how close some seedy areas of town were...
Litterally less than a block off of the strip and you're in a dark neighborhood where you really shouldn't be after the sun goes down..
Stay under the lights where the crowds are...

I am also planning on going to Vegas and was wondering what hotel has the best spa? (steamroom, sauna, etc.) with eye candy...

I stay every week at the Orleans for work. Its on Tropicana and Arville just west of the strip. They have a shuttle to the strip and the rooms are pretty comfortable. They're like a third the price of the Strip hotels. Just a suggestion.
