| - If you are comparing standard rooms at all the top Vegas hotels I'm not sure if can get better than THEhotel, you can only hope to tie. I enjoyed it equally with Bellagio and Palms when I stayed there in past years.
It is tough to pick clear cut winners with the hotels because they offer so much. You can look at the gambling floor, shops, restaurants, clubs, the pool and the list goes on.
I really enjoyed the wave pool and the sand beach at Mandalay but did have beef that you couldn't rent tubes for the lazy river. Why would I want to purchase a tube? You think I'm going to deflate it and pack it in my suitcase to take home? I will say my interactions with some of the dealers were the best I've had. I played craps, pai gow, black jack, and roulette and didn't have a complaint about a single person. In fact, most of the people I would rate above average in friendliness and helpfulness. Same goes for the pit boss's. I will say the drink service was a little better than average but not outstanding. There was one time where it seemed like the wait was a bit long, but I give them credit back because the pit boss admitted we had the worst waitress in the casino (she was a bit rotund which prohibited her from moving at a normal rate of speed).
The room was on par or better with other MGM Casino I've stayed at (Mirage, Bellagio, New York New York).
Overall, if I HAD to come back here next year I wouldn't complain, but would prefer to keep up my tradition of not staying anywhere twice. One day if that becomes impossible, THEhotel will be on the top of my list for the second go around.
