u will have fun
I am not a guy that likes to sit down and watch a game at a sport book but If I HAD too, I personally like the Aria (poker room is also very nice)
Its one of the newer if not newest casino in town
I been 3 times (I am also from Canada) and I stayed at the Excalibur (Dump), MGM (near Dump) and Vdara (A1)
Next trip I am staying at Trump, no casino but rooms (suites) are very nice and nicely priced
Have fun

Aria is nice, poker room is decent, have tons of fish there since Bilzerian started promoting it.
I personally stay at the Cosmopolitan every time I am out there.. first class pools in the summer. the casino has the nicest tables and best looking women…
The sportsbook is OKAY at best. Very small, not a ton of options. I like to head to LVH if I am sitting for a while during the day or something…but if I don't know exactly Ill just walk over to Ceasars.
awesome props.

First mistake you made was booking the Excalibur. Place is a complete s**thole.
BUT you are at an MGM property, which means that you MUST get yourself an MLife card. They will start you off with a Sapphire card. Use it whenever you gamble at an MGM property (Excalibur, Luxor, NYNY, Grand, Aria, Mandalay, Bellagio, Mirage, Monte Carlo and Delano.) <Did I miss one? Anyway, use card for gambling and checking in/out and buying anything on their properties. For some reason they don't accept the card when you bet on sports. but will take the card for anything else including horse racing.
I am at a Platinum status and have not paid for a room at the Aria or Vdara (my preferred hotels) for close to a year now, and I visit Vegas at least 8 times a year.
If you gamble big at the tables they'll take care of you. Make sure you use that thing!

I like the intimacy of the book and its small stature, because it really does keep the lots of people away. The only line I ever waited in lasted for maybe 3 minutes total and that was opening week of CFB this yr when trying to get my noon plays in. Stayed at ARIA for Super Bowl, first week of March Madness and NBA finals and never dealt with any sorts of lines. And I'm always going to that small division they have with the couches that you access via the ramp next to Five50. They always have it blocked off with a rope and nobody ever goes past it. 
My problem with ARIA, or should I say MGM are the lines themselves. I think they suck. And the moneylines are seldom and rare on anything over an 8 pt dog. Plus they're always the last to post their lines, and there are no lines for any non-D-1 games. I notice the sometimes scary parallels between their lines and CG Tech, so that may explain the tardy line postings every day.
I know that I have a stack of ARIA drink tickets--all different colors and dates--tallying in the 100s from all the bets I've placed on last two trips alone. I'm a piece of degenerate s**t.

I was there last week. Went to the newest hotel and casino. It called the sls. Its at sahara las vegas Blvd. It has a clean book .slots are brand new and they pay if u play max $20 and keep moving. I also went to lvh.many screens and lots of action.
stratosphere gives more free beers. Ask the tellers foe drink tickets after betting.
More latee

Get used to the smell of s**t. The strip smells like complete waste. Especially if you walk between Harrah's and Flamingo. It's not the glamour and ritz you think you're walking into.
Oh and the bums on the walkway from the Miracle Mile Shops to ARIA are plentiful. And most of them have animals so they can get pity points from you.
^That's the real Vegas. Depressing, smells like poop and chock full of ruined dreams. Have fun!
