Mandalay Bay, Wynn or Palazzo

DH and I are visiting next June. We%26#39;ve narrowed it down to these 3 hotels. Assuming price was relatively close to the same, which would you stay in? Thanks in advance!





Mandalay Bay, Wynn or Palazzo


I forgot to ask....please say why you would choose that particular hotel.



Mandalay Bay, Wynn or Palazzo


If the price is the same, you are either getting a GREAT rate at Wynn or getting totally ripped off by Mandalay Bay. And I wouldn%26#39;t pay the same for Palazzo as Wynn.



We love the lazy river at MB but would never consider it in June with kids out of school.



The rooms at Palazzo appear to be nice but the quality of the property is not up to Wynn standards. And I would expect by next year Palazzo will have just as many families in the summer as Venetian.



This is the biggest advantage to staying at Wynn; fewer children than any other property, especially during the summer. It makes a big difference in the public areas and the pool. Also for us there is the advantage of being able to gamble at Wynn, which we can not do at the other properties due to the poor conditions.



In the interest of disclosure I%26#39;ve stayed at MB probably 8-10 times and Wynn 6 times but have not stayed at Palazzo.




I like the Wynn for good service, great gym, blackjack at the pool, (excluding the waterfall) hotel/casino not crowded with tourists (like Bellagio and Venetian) .





What I dislike about the Wynn is 90% of the people I have met staying there are trying too hard to show/fool others on their wealth.





I like MB for the younger, more vibrant crowd, pools (kid/family attendance during the week is high and low on the weekends), poolside casino - not as nice as Wynn, lots of choices of great bars and restaurants with a younger crowd than Wynn.





What I dislike about MB - I stay/gamble enough to get treated nice, but most will get the personal service of staying at a 4,800 room hotel (The Hotal + MB).





Have not stayed at Palazzo, but have stayed at Venetian 5 - 7 times. Not a fan - they seem to try to walk the balance of high end, great service resort and yet support 7,000 rooms. I have never been impressed with service at Venetian. They have a great gym, but again all the services you would expect at a high end resort (like Wynn) are not ther because of the volume of people staying there.





Long way of saying if you want a more sophisticated, elegant, mature environment - go Wynn.





If you want a younger, more energetic environment - go MB.





Never been to Palazzo.




wynn - it is classy, the clientle is nice, dealers and staff excellent, a sophisticated atmosphere



palazzo second - great rooms, nice casino,



MB pool will be full of kids




Wynn is the best one, great amenities, great place to stay, the rooms are very nice, very comfy beds, large rooms %26amp; huge bathroom.



Palazzo is new %26amp; sound nice, haven%26#39;t stayed there yet so I can%26#39;t comment on it, but I would give it a try.



Mandalay Bay is very nice but not in the same class as Wynn IMO.



If you can get Wynn for the same price, I would go with WYNN it would be a great deal compare to MB




I really enjoy the palazzo. Large rooms... not huge and expansive like the Venetian...laid out really well. The pool area at the Palazzo is really nice and you can also use the Venetian pools as well. I didn%26#39;t see any kids at the Palazzo...its not really all that kid friendly.




Thank you for all of your comments so far. Just wanted to add a few things that might help:





1. I will be there in the beginning of June, so I%26#39;m not sure if this will affect how many kids are around.



2. I will most likely be staying Sunday-Wednesday.



3. I don%26#39;t know what the pricing is yet for when I%26#39;m going. I just meant that if pricing for all was within what we were looking to spend then price would not be a factor in our decision.





Thanks again!




If you are going next June then Encore (the new Wynn hotel) will be open so you might want to consider that one as well. Can%26#39;t comment on it yet as it isn%26#39;t open (it%26#39;s supposed to open in December) but seeing that it is the sister to Wynn, which is my favorite hotel, I expect it will be much nicer than Palazzo and Mandalay Bay.




I would definatly recommend Mandalay Bay. It happens to be one of my favorite hotels on the strip. There pool aka beach is awesome, one of the best out there. If you go the promotions page you might be able to get a good deal. Here is the link …atdmt.com/MGM/…
