I am leaning towards the following 3 options: 4 Seasons at Manalay Bay($229 night), The Venetian($129 night), or the Wynn/Encore ($170 night).
My wife's friends husband and i are looking to play a little golf so some suggestions there as well would be great.
thoughts or suggestions:

I've done that race before. IIRC it starts super early which makes it a bit tough to get to especially if you are on the far end of the strip. Nothing a taxi can't take care of but keep in mind that the strip will be shut down and it may take a bit longer. I stayed at MGM and walked over to Excalibur and took the tram to Mandalay Bay. It is pretty amuzing going at that hour as some people are just leaving the bar/casino to go to sleep.
