The downfall is it's at the south end of the strip so there isn't much near it. This is fine for me as I like to walk up and down the strip. I know others say it's too hot or too far, but I've done it in May and it was nice. Check to make sure the pools are open. I know they aren't year round.

I prefer to stay at the south end of the strip. Like you I enjoy walking up and down the strip. For me, a trip to Vegas is a great way to get away and still get exercise. I disagree with people who say there isn't much by it though. However if you said that about Mandalay Bay, a great hotel and casino, I'd agree with you. I've stayed at Mandalay Bay and really enjoyed it, but I found it was too far south. I stayed there during a conference for work so I only had a few hours in the evening to enjoy the rest of Vegas so the extra distance was a bit of a nuisance. If I stayed there just for fun, I may not think the same way, but I'd rather go to MGM anyway... I'll be staying at Mandalay Bay again in November for that same conference.
