Agreed with Alanslegal - Cosmopolitan wins in the battle of Vegas accommodation. Definitely the freshest of the Strip hotels - balconies are very rare at the older establishments. And the gaming and entrance areas don't have that stale ciggy smell that all the other major hotel/casinos have.
I have stayed at MGM Grand, Luxor, Mirage, Paris and Cosmopolitan.
MGM grand rooms have had fresh renovations and are quite nice and modern. Their pool area is the best in vegas, with it's "lazy river". A large 1 bedroom spa suite-thing here is pretty swanky - higher floor with a lot of space!
Luxor is good if you are on a budget and happy to walk a little extra distance to get to the main hustle and bustle of the Strip. Pool area not so flash - but bearable.
Mirage has a great pool area and pretty good rooms.
Paris the rooms are a bit dated now... the pool area is unique as it is right below the Eiffel Tower, but if you get a room with a view across to the Bellagio, you will get a great view of the fountains.
Cosmo - amazing. Was very lucky to stay in a 1 bedroom wraparound suite - that was back when the dollar was at $1.08 so it wasn't too bad. If you go midweek the prices can be half price. The views are the best. You could get a terrace suite here instead as you will get a similar experience with a balcony overlooking the strip.
Overall though, consider how much time you will actually spend in the room... as there is SO much to see and do in Vegas, i have really only ever found myself getting changed and sleeping in the room. Hardly any time to enjoy the decor.
If you care about the pool then MGM, Mirage and Mandalay Bay are your best bets.
If you care about being in the middle of the action then Caesars, Planet Hollywood, bellagio, Cosmo are all right there.
