Mandalay Bay

Mandalay Bay is a nice place. The Border Grill is great, and Mix lounge, which I think is in THEhotel but servicable from an elevator in the Bay. The monorail to Luxor and Excalibur is very frequent, and free, so I wouldn't be put off by the location.

MB has an awesome pool and wave pool! I have always thought this was a great place, and the location isn't bad at that end of the strip with the shuttle available. LVA is now offering promos to LV. https://www.lasvegasadvisor.com/deals/ It looks like for April you would want to go with the Ultimate Upgrade Package or the Suite Upgrade Promotion. I have noticed that the hotels come out with new specials at the beginning of the Month. I would wait until later this week. Southwest has been having some good package deals too, if they fly from your location, they are usually a great deal! Have fun!
