I was here for a conference at their convention center and was able to enjoy one of their newly renovated rooms!
Room is spacious and I had a great strip view (this hotel is at one of the ends of the strip, next to Luxor and close to MGM). Bathroom has double vanity, a bathtub, a shower with a separate door to the toilet. There is a tray with drinks and snacks for purchase (even coffee which is usually complimentary was $4). Wifi worked fine.
There is a great variety of restaurants in the lobby including a more upscale Aureole, to Hubert Kelly's Fleur, to a more casual House of Blues...
Hillary at the Front Desk checked me in and was very helpful and friendly.
Unfortunately, the big mandalay beach and pool were closed for the season.
Make sure to check out the Foundation Room on their top floor for great views of the strip at night!
Overall, it's a nice hotel and there is a free tram that connects you to the Excalibur, but you do have to take a cab to go anywhere else on the strip.
