Mandalay Bay does not disappoint.  Although I always stay at this hotel, this past weekend we tried one night at Mirage and 2 at MB - let me tell you we were excited to come back 'home' to Mandalay!  Even the smell they pump into the casino is amazing...plus the casino is large and well lit, not very smoky at all\n\nPros:  Great rooms (flat screen TV in the bathroom, the best bath products) perhaps the most comprehensive selection of restaurants from fine dining to casual middle of the night and need baked potato soup spots, THE BEST pool in Vegas - and the bars are rockin.  Don't have any hesitation to book here - there is a tram that will take you to the Tropicana/Las Vegas BLVD intersection and from there you can easily get anywhere else on the strip.\n\nCons:  the worst cocktail service in the casino\n\nOverall - a great choice (make sure you check their specials, you can get a very reasonable rate here!)
