The Executive Suites ARE nice, if you can get one. I think they are in Carnival.
Most will say Carnival is the better tower.
However, our room in Mardi Gras, the one time out of 20 or so stays, was much nicer than any we had in Carnival---except for the Executive Suite x 2.
Our room in Mardi Gras overlooked the Mirage volcano and surrounding Strip. Carnival rooms mostly, if not all, had no great views. But that was some 20 years ago. Can't say how they are now.
