The Mandalay
Las Vegas, NV
This is my third stay at the Mandalay, which draws you in with killer rates if you can find it (we fetched a room for $85 on Thursday, $145 on Friday) only to suck money out of you every which way once you arrive—but that’s the standard at any Vegas resort on the Strip. The Mandalay is spacious, its pool area a knockout, the rooms gorgeous, and that pumped-in scent that blissfully permeates the area—is that available in a bottle anywhere?
