just there 2 weeks ago at the Flamingo.$550 each throug Alegient in Bellingham.Its right in the middle which is good and has the best buffet on the strip(they say). Burger Bar is all I have to say ! google it

I would stay again at The Hotel at Mandalay Bay if I went to Vegas again. It is attached to the regular Mandalay Bay hotel but is quieter and nicer. The rooms and gym were great. It is out of the way at one end of the strip.

Just got back from there we stayed at the Flamingo great location right in the middle of the strip so you don't have to take expensive taxi's everywhere. I would stay there again, give it a thought.

I guess you have a few choices now. As you can see alot of us stay in the middle of the strip.

If you plan walking the strip and checking everything out, location can be critical... The STRIP is long, and can be very tiring to walk. That is why staying in the middle gives you best location. One time go one way, next go the other, next go across the street one way, then the other. Well I think you get it.

Personally I found walking kills me. With bad feet, I get huge blisters, etc... and after 2 days, I am crippled. Last trip I actually bought a 24 hour public bus pass. It was $7 for 24 hours, and with buses running every 5 minutes, you jump on, jump off... SAVE YOUR FEET.

Also the pass got me to YE OLE Downtown a couple times, so very well worth the money. Also went to the very old places like circus circus, etc... Not worth the walk, but taking a bus, well worth a visit.

Honestly if you are goting to LV, you aren't going to spend much time in the room. Unless you are planning to stay in it all day, then you want a nice place with decent suites. I would suggest The Rio, a bit off the strip, but you have full size ground to ceiling windows to see the lights all around. Only if you rent a car though, the club on the roof is decent.

Mandalay Bay is good as it has access to the trains too, and the aquarium. :)

The Motel8 behind the MGM is super cheap and 2 blocks away from the strip.

Just depends on your transportation, if you get a car, there are also a lot of houses/condos gotten for a great price.

If you are planning shows, book them now, as you get crap seats when booked last minute. I remember having 2 extra tickest for Cirque, somone offered me $1000 for them.

Doesn't it freak you out when they ask you how you want your burgers done? Raw, med, well done?

i stayed at the mgm last year and liked it... pool was a little small but other than that a good experince... as for the aquarium at mandaly... overpriced and smaller than i expected... but good enought for a quiet hour...

(Doesn't it freak you out when they ask you how you want your burgers done? Raw, med, well done?)

Not really,lots of buger joints in the US ask that.I got the Kobe beef and realized I payed too much when I tried the wifes angus burger,man was that good.Jalapino bacon and a fried egg,ahhhhhhh still fresh in my memory

I dont know how to quote properly as you see

Rio had the nicest drink runners when we were there. :wink:

Spending 2 days in the bathroom on vacation time freaks me out! No matter how many times I go to the states it always catches me off guard when the server asks how I want my burger done. We just had an american burger franchise open in the Park (5 Guys Burgers & Fries), it's really good but they don't ask how you want the meat cooked.
