Another vote here for Musicland. Sites are kinda tight, though. And you'll probably want to route yourself so that you approach from the north on Gretna Road... Or come up 165 from the south. That right turn off 76 onto Gretna is a frickin' BEAR! Avoid it at all costs!
The kudos are: It's VERY convenient to most of The Strip and much of the older theaters, restaurants and attractions.
Personally, I'd much rather take a toad to Branson cuz I enjoy the shows and the food on the Branson Belle riverboat on Table Rock Lake and, in warmer weather, we also stay at an enjoy Table Rock State Park and Marina. What can I say? I'm a water baby! ;)
