Today we flew from Boston to Las Vegas, arriving about 3pm and after waiting more than half an hour for our luggage, getting a taxi to the Mandalay Bay hotel/casino.
I always like a high room (good view) and initially we were to be checked in to the 9th floor – but the very helpful manager behind the check-in desk worked with us and found a room on the 30th floor! I think we got a free upgrade too – the room was fabulous with great views:
My favourite hotel in Las Vegas is still the Bellagio because of its lake & fountains, but the Mandalay Bay is a very close competitor – it has better rooms, a better pool area (with wave pool & lazy river) and less queueing for the restaurants.
Also, you don’t have to walk through the casino when you are tired after a long flight, to get from registration to the elevators to take you to your room.
