Make sure you get one of the rooms with views of the Strip and the Bellagio fountains. I think it's the west tower that has the best views. If you get the corner wrap around balcony it's really a breathtaking view.
We ended up getting a great deal at the Luxor, since it's March Madness, the rooms almost doubled in price. We were lucky to get three nights for under $300. We did look at the Cosmo and I definitely want to stay there one of these days.
The food and drinks here are really out of this world. Every bar has a signature cocktail, great craft beers available, and even the house specialty cosmo is great and different. The signature cocktail on the second floor of the hanging/chandelier bar is a must. Food is great too... STK, Milos, The food and drinks here are really out of this world.

Definitely take some time to walk around the mall. It's quite large, but I'd recommend heading over in the direction of the capitol, or going over to the Lincoln Memorial and Vietnam Memorial area.
This is a hard place to land good deals, although it never hurts to check the hotel's Web site for specials: rates average $250 to $300 much of the year, but during slower weeks you can usually snag a room for around $170 to $180 (competitive in comparison with other high-end Strip properties).
