Let me start with saying this opinion is based on a visit to the property and casino, not a hotel stay.
For me its good that it sits so far from the center strip chaos... but for others it may be too quiet. It does connect to Luxor and Excaliber which I found really multiplied the food and shopping options...I liked all the choices!
One thing I hated was all the plastic greenery through MB...many other hotels use real plants...yuck.
Another negative...the pool area looks like a crowded nightmare with children racing all over the place...yuck.
Shark reef....really needs updating...
We did alright in the casino...one some, lost some...its above average in its size and selection.
So it sounds like MB is renivating its rooms...that sounds good... and if the renovate the common areas and amenities as well this property will be the knock out it used to be!
