Always my fave hotel in Vegas! I've been staying here for years and I never have a bad thing to say! Yes, it's a little South Strip...but take the tram or use your legs people. They have one of, if not the, best pools in Vegas. I totally enjoy vegging at Moorea and riding around the lazy river at Mandalay. The rooftop lounge has some of the best views in Vegas and some of the friendliest bartenders. The rooms are all suites and beautiful--the only complaint is no coffee machine. Beds are cozy and having two bathrooms, while getting ready to go out, is a plus.
The lobby is absolutely beautiful as well--and connected right to Mandalay Bay.
Definitely one of my go to Vegas places.
