Your report makes me miss the Flamingo. Stayed last time at Mandalay Bay and was ready to check out and re-locate to the Flamingo. Hated the location of Mandalay Bay. Vegas trips are so much better with a large group. The go rooms at the Flamingo are so much better then the standard room at M B. and the price is about the same. The pool at the Flamingo is so much fun, a real party feel.
