THEhotel at Mandalay Bay had a great floral smell walking in, really canceled out the smell of cigarette smoke. Really classy decor, the Vegas cheese factor was at a minimum.
I didn't gamble here at all, except for putting a nickel into a slot while hanging out with a gal I met. There were several pretty cool little bars and restaurants located around the game floor. Also some good shopping in the tunnel between THEhotel and Excalibur.
I dug the pool, it had sandy beaches and a wave pool, as well as several normal pools and an area you could float in a big inner tube in.
Rooms were pretty nice. I dug the alarm clock with the iPod attachment.
