Replying to Hotels in Vegas

i am going to cali in august and am planning on staying in vegas on the way and back. anyone have any hotel suggestions. something ballin' but definetly not more than $300 a night. found rooms in the MGM for $250. maybe the mirage, excalibur, or new york new york? somewhere with a big pool would be nice.

also, how hard are they on ID's in vegas? i am 20 and have a fake that works every in CO. it blacklights but doesn't scan. will it work in vegas?

any suggestions appreciated.
