Vegas hotel recs
I haven't been to Vegas in years. And while I can assume what is good there. Just wanted to hear what is recommended. We will be attending a wedding at Mandalay Bay so I would like it at the South end of the strip.
Oh, something with a low(er) price. I can't stay at Bellagio, Wynn etc. 
Re: Vegas hotel recs
My mid-range go to is Treasure Island.
Although we got a killer deal at THEhotel (at Mandalay Bay) recently. They really lowered their prices last I checked!
After 2 rounds of IVF & 2 rounds of FET, we were blessed with identical twin girls!
My brother just stayed at TI. I kinda forgot about it because it wasn't on Vegas.com. Just looked it up. It's do-able.
Luxor is cheaper and closer though. What do you think of that hotel?
I've never stayed at Luxor, but H really likes it. For cheap Excallibur is pretty good for the price. I LOVE New York New York and MGM, but they can be more pricy, but may be worth checking out the prices at least. Stay away from Imperial Palace. That place is all kinds of trashy.
I'm always getting email deals from Excallibur. If you're interested I can forward the next one to you.

MGM! Not sure when you're going but I just saw this:

You should also check travelzoo.com. They always have great vegas deals listed on their site.
H has a personal vendetta against them. He stayed there when he was a kid and the fire alarm went off in the middle of the night and he had to basically run down 8 or so flights of stairs barefoot for nothing. He's still bitter. lol!
Oh, and NYNY was comparable to Luxor. Maybe we'll go there. It's just further up the strip. Would it be safe to assume I could walk from NYNY to Mandalay bay??
And what's the weather like there in mid-December?
Thanks for the link! I think this will work perfectly!
I really love NYNY. You can totally walk. In fact, once you cross the street (bridge) to Excallibur you can take the tram right to MB.
The only time I was there in Dec is when I was a kid and it was FREEZING.
Well..there goes the idea that I could wear the dress that I was going to wear in the Keys to their wedding.
I hate Luxor and Excalibur. =/

I prefer NYNY to Luxor, but still don't like it much.
MGM is good, though!
If you stay farther away than a walk, just cab it up!

Oh, really? Any particular reason? I mean...not for Excalibur but for Luxor.
We could cab it up. But we're trying to save money where we can. Also, I handle claims for cab drivers. Let's just say I don't trust them.
All the hotels we've talked about here except for TI are all within walking distance of MB. So you should be good.
When I was in Vegas last (2005) I was there for a Bach party. We walked everywhere except to the Palms. So I was figureing I should be good, but I didn't know with the weather and all.
I think MGM got the most votes and I should push H for that one. He is usually fine spending a little more for a room if it's nicer. He's quite particular!
Oh the joys of working claims!
I can't go anywhere or do anything anymore without it crossing my mind that someone is potentially opening themselves up to a huge liability.
I don't like the restaurants inside and the casino is just blah. I mean, it's "okay" but for a similar amount of money I would rather stay at the TI. Just personal preference.

MGM is a good choice.
But check THEhotel, too. I think we spent like $70/night or something crazy like that, and it was really nice!

If I remember correctly vegas.com had it at around $90 something/night. Which is really good for a hotel. But others were less.
But my H might want it since it's right next to MB.

I havent stayed at Luxor but I also am not a fan of Excalibur. I know they did a renovation recently too but the one time we stayed there it just felt dirty and we had some really gross problems with the room we got and we ended getting upgrade.
MGM is a good choice. The last time we were in Vegas was in march and we stayed at the Mirage and they had just done their renovation so it was really nice. I like MGMs pool more but pools might not matter if youre going in December
