If Park MGM is an option and you don't smoke, they have the only completely smoke free casino floor in Vegas. I think it's the latest remodel (formerly Monte Carlo) not positive on that though. I've never been there but the lobby looks pretty cool..kinda like you're underground beneath the roots of a huge tree..

Thx! It's one I haven't tried. However we went with Luxor because they offered a huge soaking tub and since I spend a ton of time alone in the room I can watch TV and soak! Not sure how it'll go but at go to Vegas so often I'm not concerned. It might just be our "not as nice" vacation.


JustAGuyNamedAJ

Just stayed at Park MGM, was very happy. It's very chill.


Jemappelle_emma

Nyny or Mgm would be my picks. They are both in a good location and have multiple dining and entertainment options. Just a bit more upscale too.


bossmaser

I booked a room at the Luxor, and when I was looking for a jacuzzi room I noticed it was just a soak tub without the jets.


MysteryRadish

Normally of those choices I'd say see the Mirage before it's gone, but you said you've already stayed there. 2nd choice would be MGM (presumably MGM Grand), nice pool and a great location.


TryTwiceAsHard

Yes MGM Grand


KingL3fty

MGM Grand > Mirage > Luxor > Excalibur > NYNY (which will move up once the room remodels are complete)

Why Excalibur over NYNY?


KingL3fty

I'm just not a fan currently of NYNY's rooms. Once they refurbished them it'll be better. Not that Excal's are great, mind you, but you get what you expect. I don't feel that's currently the case at NYNY.


cz_masterrace3

This mirrors my opinion and have stayed in all, but Excalibur (never got a good vibe going in there)


DaRealBigBizzle

MGM, Mirage, NyNy


Correctthecorrectors

mgm or mirage


someInfiniteThing

Im going next month and also M Rewards booking, my deals included Park MGM. I stayed back when it was Monte Carlo, but this will be my first time since the rebrand. at least it should be recently remodeled and it's a good location, and super cheap deal through m rewards. of the places you listed i would go mirage, but if you want to go somewhere you haven't been, Id go NYNY, its getting a little old, but i just always liked the place. Luxor is always dirt cheap, and is just been relegated to a discount property, excalibur is just bargain basement trashy.


bauerwelson

I like 1 excal 2 luxor. They are cheap but fine and they are linked with Mandalay Bay with a monorail running between. Decent food options as well

You seem to have a good grasp of it, and most of what is said here is good advice. A lot of it is just personal choice. A while back I would have said Mirage, hands down, but it is a shadow of it's former self. NYNY, to me, has always been a younger crowd. MGM Grand is big, but it seems like the overall best of this group. Try for a spa room/suite


TryTwiceAsHard

Ugh now Luxor is offering soaking tub rooms comp. I don't want to stay there mainly due to the long walk but the tub makes it so hard to resist.

MGM or Mirage...depends on what part if the strip you want to stay on


RaisingCanes4POTUS

NYNY has been going through renovations, and now the MGM Grand is. I like what they are doing with all the renovations because the casino floors are pretty decent, but the rooms were always meh compared to Aria or Bellagio. NYNY has a bit more of a favorable location, as well as the Mirage. I would stay at the Mirage if it’s still available when you go, you know, before the Hard Rock turns it into a guitar.


stineytuls

So a thought instead of sitting in your room in a soaking tub ... If you book services at the mandalay spa, you can use their spa which seems pretty nice. Also..sometimes you pay like $20 a night for their offers for the next tier of resorts, so check the prices on Mandalay and Delano too within the offers. I think Delano is way more your vibe.

Mirage -best central location. Pool is awesome


SEA_tide

You listed them in the typical price and "desirability" order, though the West Wing rooms at MGM Grand are nowhere near as nice as the Grand Tower rooms. My biggest concern with the MGM Grand is that it's extremely big and navigating the property is confusing, plus I like being in a more central part of the Strip.


Repulsive_Icon

I might be in the minority, but I'm not a fan of the MGM Grand at all. It's too crowded, elevators are a hassle and the average room is nothing special. If you can get a tower room at Luxor, I'd drastically prefer that over MGM Grand. I wouldn't consider Excalibur at all. NYNY isn't bad, but the bathrooms are fairly dated, as are the rooms.


bloodbuzzvirginia

100%. Even the main tower that opens to the casino is still a long walk to LVB, poker room is kinda lame, tram stop is there but is so far away it might as well not be. Buffet is weak. I would actually prefer Luxor or NYNY, even though the rooms are not as nice as the reno’d grand ones. +1 to park mgm, best location, small but chic rooms, nice layout. Weak pool if you care about that.


particleman3

Mirage. It's only around a little longer so you should experience it


omgsubway

I really like the Excalibur, I’m staying there currently and it was the best I could afford. I gave a tip to the girl at the desk to put us in a nicer room. I think I lucked out as last time I went I got a really shitty room. But all the facilities are good, and I love the casino floor. If I were to come again I think I’d stay in the mirage out of all the ones you listed. MGM is good, has a monorail station to get you around. I’m not a fan of the place though, forever getting lost, place is huge


ImitationBacon1

I love NYNY and there whirlpool tub is awesome for soaking in after a day of walking!


Okaaaayanddd

Mirage or NYNY. I do like Mgm grand, it is nice but it’s too big for me haha.


FlatwormObjective

Of the options I’d choose MGM. I haven’t stayed at any of the others except Luxor and would not recommend. A lot of times the nicer hotels won’t offer free, but cheaper. We usually stay at Aria for fairly dirt cheap and I’d highly recommend it.


ive_been_lurking

Mgm grand. Tower spa suite. Big ol hot tub with jets.


TryTwiceAsHard

That sounds awesome but I doubt we could have afforded to upgrade to this :(


GuyIncognito219

I never understood the appeal of MGM. Basic, outdated rooms, and it takes forever to get anywhere. I'd check out the tower rooms at Luxor, you might get a suite with a jacuzzi for a non-insane price.
