MGM or mandaly bay?

I am already booked at MGM, but thinking about staying at MB instead. Thoughts?



MGM or mandaly bay?


MB is better on all counts pretty much (layout, facilities, rooms, casino, crowd, etc..) MGM%26#39;s dining is much improved, but that might be its only advantage over MB.





If price is a non-factor in your comparison, go with MB.



MGM or mandaly bay?


MB is far superior to MGM in every way is except number of hotel rooms. MGM still feel like the 1990%26#39;s and MB feels up to date. It is worth every penny of the difference in cost.




Why all the knocks on MGM? I%26#39;ve stayed at both and I had a great time at both. They%26#39;re both beautiful hotels. MB might be more upscale (if you%26#39;re into that), but MGM is a better location.




I wouldn%26#39;t say anyone is knocking MGM, it%26#39;s a decent place. It just doesn%26#39;t compare to a place like MB when you put it head to head on the basic categories (rooms, service, etc...)





MGM Location might be a *little* better than MB, but when you factor in the loooong walk you will have from your room to the elevator at MGM, it%26#39;s probably a wash.





Anyone who has stayed at both want to chime in?




I have never stayed @ MGM but have stayed at MB. Cannot say enough good things about it from the rooms, layout, pool, food, dealers, etc......priced high but not much more than MGM for what you get.




the price difference is only $55 for the enitre stay. i am not too worried about that.





i do like that you can check in at the airport for MGM, but we%26#39;re going Midweek, so i am not too worried about that.





I have been to vegas 3 other times and have stayed at Riveria ( did not like it) , Ceasars ( nice) and the mirage ( loved it)





I am really looking for a nice room and a nice pool since this is where we plan to spend most of our time!





Thanks for the advice so far.




I guess I got lucky at MGM - there was no loooong walk to the elevator from the room- it was maybe 30 feet, one of the 1st rooms in the hallway. I guess if you got stuck way at the end that might have its downs. I also got a free upgrade to a Bungalow Queen Suite, so the rooms were beautiful. Not the plasma tv%26#39;s you%26#39;ll find in MB, but I was really only in the room to sleep and shower. If you%26#39;re going to the pool a lot - it%26#39;s still a toss up. Both have many pools, but MB does have the ';beach'; and a wave pool. I don%26#39;t think you can go wrong w/ either hotel.




I%26#39;ve stayed at both, and loved both. Mandalay Bay is by far the nicer of the two. And if you%26#39;re staying in the summer time, I%26#39;d definitely recommend MB due to their pool. I also really like MBs sportsbook and Poker Room. MGMs location is a little bit better.





Cant go wrong at either place....just depends on what you%26#39;re wanting out of your hotel.
