Where to stay?

The other problem with Mandalay Bay is that, while it's arguably the best pool in Las Vegas, it's also a pain in the butt to get around. You can't walk in a straight line from point A to point B. I like NYNY a lot, and before blackjack conditions went to hell, it was my favorite casino floor in Vegas.

That's how I feel about Aria. It's quieter here than when I lived in NYC. You'll get the occasional engine revving, but otherwise, dead silent. The dayclub (Jemma or something) used to get a little bass-heavy during sunshine hours, but I don't actually think they've reopened.
