Default Vegas Q's

I'm planning on taking a trip to Vegas in March/Apri for a birthday. It's between a Penthouse Suite at the Bellagio or a Media Suite at Mandalay Bay. I notice Mandalay is further down away from the main part of the strip. What are your opinions on which would be best? Better located, etc. I'll be staying with another 4-5 friends in the suite.

Do you plan on being in the room long? Women in the room? Why a Penthouse Suite?

personally, i like mandalay bay but i think the media suite is a little more. it just seems like as far as accommodations go, i get more for my money there.

sure its not like you can just walk to the main part of the strip, but wouldn't you rather take a taxi anyway? going from one spot to another on the strip is still a walk and your women aren't going to want to walk miles in heels.

sorry!


i think ground clearance is fine, but i'm used to driving a lowered car. My exhaust scrapes sometimes, but only on radical dips and inclines. If it is installed right, the ground clearance will be fine.

I only had synergy do the tuning... i had a local mechanic do the install for me.
