This is a very, very broad queation and entitles so many variables, if you can be a little more specific, can answer the question more adaquately and easily.
The answers are going to differ greatly on what type of player one is.......be it a low to high recreational player, or a low to high advantage gambler.

BOYD is the best of the four if one does not like placing bets with a card, Stations will require to use a card when placing large wagers on a consistent basis.
.........
From an overall video poker standpoint, would rank the four as follows.........
1. Boyd
2. Stations
3. Caesers
4. MGM
If one combines Caesers with all other Harrahs properties, would rank them #2 from a VP standpoint, or even #1, mainly because of diamond/seven star tier benefits and the aforementioned numerous properties outside of Nevada.
Today(Wednesday's), The top four Boyd properties offer a simply tremendous offer to 50+ video poker players, a swipe of their slot card enables one to receive 4x-50x points on the first 10,000 base points............so basically, if one can snare say a 30x swipe, which isnt all that rare, it's essentially profiting $300 to those who are astute VP players.
Sams Town even goes one step further and allows two swipes per day, before 7pm and after 7pm

What would be the best advice for someone in my situation?I am back for a trip in Vegas for the first time in a long time.I plan on going 1x or 2x a month when football starts up (flying in).my games of choice are only Bj and sports.I probably average $75-$100 a hand for about 4-6 hours per day,Sports probably a nickle or a little more a game with 5 or 6 games bet a day..Would like to stay on the strip siince I wont have access to car.Would there be any books that would cover hotel when I come back and should i just do all my play with one casino rather than got to numerous different ones?thanks in advance?
There are players on here who will be more current by far than me..... but my $.02.
Middle of the road strip hotels should love you if your BJ play is close to accurate. ($75-$100 a hand for about 4-6 hours per day)
At the same time they are loving you as a BJ player........ they won't give two shits about your sportsbook action. Might tell you they do..... might give you a piece of pizza or a buffet. But be careful with your BJ play...... or you will find out real quick how come they are willing to comp you on that action. "Danger Will Robinson"
agree with packer on this one....I would probably pick a hotel or chain you like and talk to the pitt boss after your first 4 to 6 hour $75 to $100 per hand session (if they havent talked to you yet)...and ask about a host....anything but the really high end places will take care of you at that level....sportsbooks....just hope you can grab a free drink or two 
if you dont go with one of the big chains, i might check out the cosmo....play in their high limit room for better/not terrible rules....they have been pretty generous with rooms and show/concert tix in my experience

Video poker will not only provide games with over a 100% return, but it also is great way to earn an ABUNDANCE of free food and rooms quite easily, and of course, numerous cash mailers........the problem for a recreational bettor looking for comps on the strip is they will have a hard time finding 100% return games and playing them properly.
Harrahs/Caesers would be a option that many should try to achieve at least Diamond status with, and Seven Stars if you have the fortitude to do such.........most every serious advantage gambler is at minimum a diamond member at Caesers/Harrahs.
