Monte Carlo is a very nice place with an exellent pool. If you can get a $69 rate there - grab it! I also like Circus just because the rooms are very good and the rate is the cheapest for the Mandalay properties. I have found that if you are travelling to Las Vegas a few times a year it is worth it to check out the web sites of the places you may want to stay and sign up for their email service. They will tell you about Specials every few weeks and the rates will always be higher at any web site not connected with them.
