Mandalay Bay versus Mirage

I am coming to Vegas in Sept with my husband at the start and end of a NV, AZ, CA flydrive. I have found good deals at similar prices for MB and Mirage for our first stay but can%26#39;t decide which one to choose (reviews on here suggest Mirage is better but we like MB casino and I%26#39;ve always had the impression that this was a nicer hotel). We are not pool people so this is not an issue, neither is the fact that MB is right up the south end of the strip. This is our 3rd visit and we have stayed in Luxor (nice enough but nothing special) and PH (fantstic room and bathroom bigger than my living room!). Which room would be a better choice, a Deluxe in the Mirage or a 550DR in MB given that my main priorities are comfy bed and nice bathroom, preferably with separate shower. My husband doesn%26#39;t really care what the room is like as long as the price is right!





Thanks.

It sounds like MB is the clear choice for you guys. The rooms - especially the bathrooms - are bigger and nicer.



Mandalay Bay versus Mirage


Even though Mirage is centrally located on the Strip i would go with Mandalay Bay just a much better property and huge rooms i loved it.




Just stayed at MB and the bathrooms are very nice: separate shower, soaking tub, double sinks and private toilet. Good sized room even with 2 beds! The bed is more than comfy!



Be aware that the airport is noisy though! (take a sleep machine if you want to cover the noise...it worked for me!)




MB is a nicer property. If the review on TA suggest otherwise (they do?) that is reason enough to discount those reviews.



reviews on TA are NOT objective - purely subjective - so no standards, you, the reader, have no idea what standards a reviewer uses. heck, someone here rates Mirage as four star plus - to them, no known and respected rating system rates it higher than 3 stars - so take any review here with a grain of salt.



Mirage is fine, MB better.




Thank you all for your quick replies. I realise the reviews on here on not necessarily a true representation of the hotels, for example, however nice it may be, I%26#39;m sure that Bills isn%26#39;t better than the Wynn, just that people expect less from it and are more impressed when its nice/not as bad as they thought. I think we%26#39;ll go for MB, now just have to decide where to stay at the end of the trip :)




Stayed in MB honeymoon suite 3 years ago for our 20th anniversary. We loved the casino as well, as we did not think it was nearly as smoke filled as others. Mirage is getting old, and MB just makes you feel more luxurious.....
