I've stayed at a lot of best places on the strip, so I was initially a little disappointed when I learned that I had a conference at Mandalay Bay. I expected an older establishment, but I have to say I was impressed. It was nice, well-kept, and it really seemed to have amenities suitable for people of all ages (including kids, believe it or not). My only real complaint was that, if you're staying there for meetings in their convention area, make sure your FitBit is fully charged, because it is a hike. The Mandalay Bay is a really good hotel, and the selection of outstanding restaurants and diverse attractions makes it a solid choice.
