Romantic, quiet getaway for two.
I love Mandalay Bay, but the casino (although nice) is not conducive to quiet weekends alone with the significant other.
Solution? The boutique hotel known as TheHotel. A++++ 5 star service for sure. Quiet, clean living space with lots of space in which to "frolic". We prefer TheSuite; Separate living room with flatscreen TV, extra bathroom, and wet bar for entertaining... and in the main bathroom, a huge tub and glass-walled shower! Depending on the placement of the room, I have gotten a view of the Mandalay Bay pool or the strip.
We always go here when there are good discounts.... and that increases the value and affordability of our stays greatly. This is my first choice hotel on the strip. Maybe I'll get to try the even higher end hotels one day, when I'm a billionaire. =P
