Hooter's is a ****ing POS (that is where I did stay with Lauren though - Lauren was my dining mate as well). Stay at the MGM Grand. Hooter's is across Tropicana Rd from the rest of the strip (which is the equivalent to a 6-lane highway). I do not recommend anyone (anyone at all) to cross that road at any point during the day (let alone the evening) MGM Grand - West Wing is the best location for easy access on and off the strip. There is a shop that sells 40s next door, and there is a Pharmacy near by.
