You know, the Mandalay Bay was great and all last year, but I found the best hotel of my stay (after the show was over, I stayed few days vacation) as also the cheapest.
The stratosphere in Old Strip had a great mall, a small amusement park on the roof, an awesome "get drunk and party" kinda bar in The Crazy Armadillo, the world-class "Top of the World" revolving restaurant, and finally I saw a cool topless vampire chick show.
All that for less than $100 a night
I'd never pay $1000+ a night for a room just because it's fancy. Wow, I really want to pay more to stay somewhere where everything including the food is probably overpriced too.
I'm sure many show attendees won't stay there though but will still attend the show, but still I wonder why AVN isn't staying at the Bay?
