Message: [QUOTE="CuseTroop, post: 4950452, member: 47"] Lodging is tricky, as it depends so much on what you want to do here. For folks who are just coming in for the game, I suggest Delano, Mandalay Bay (both very nice hotels) or the Luxor (cheap option, they just remodeled their rooms after some backlash) I haven't gambled at Delano, but both Mandalay Bay and Luxor have pretty solid casinos- the sports book at Luxor is kinda lame. These three hotels are closest to West Hacienda ave, which is the overpass they shut down on gameday. Folks walk from these three hotels, across the highway into the stadium. The walk takes about 15 mins I think (Not really sure, I've never done it sober) Next up would be NYNY, MGM Grand and Park MGM. They look far away on the map, but if you cross the street to Excalibur you can jump on the free tram that takes you to the Luxor and Mandalay Bay/Delano. NYNY is nice, and usually pretty decently priced. Park MGM is the only (I believe) completely non smoking property on the strip. And you can tell as soon as you walk in. For first timers, I always recommend staying mid strip. Harrah's, Linq, Flamingo, Caesars, Bellagio etc. I suggest this, because it allows you to explore the a large chunk of the strip without a ton of walking. From any of those hotels, you can walk to the Bellagio to take the free tram to Park MGM, quick walk to excalibur, back on a free tram to Luxor/Mandalay bay. Excalibur is about to be torn down to make room for a baseball stadium- I've heard not so great things about it's current condition. OYO is the old Hooters casino- still have $1 blackjack 24/7 I think the Signature at MGM can be booked through Airbnb. Circus Circus is pretty run down these days too. Folks who want to stay far away at like The Strat, Fremont street (which is a must check out) or any of the off strip casinos- traffic into Allegiant isn't horrible, especially for this game (which wont be a full stadium sell out, I don't think they'll open up the top level). You'll be able to uber right to the stadium, or get your rental car to a parking lot with minimal issues. Happy to answer any questions anyone has, and there's a more than a few folks on the board who have much more Vegas experience than me who will chime in as well. Can't wait to see everyone!!!
