Closing the loop...
We originally booked at TheHotel at Mandalay Bay. I think we would have been happy enough there, but we ultimately decided to stay more central. We looked at pretty much every property and decided on the Mandarin Oriental. We are boutique hotel type people and this is about as close as Vegas gets, and that is what won the day. TheHotel was probably a better deal, but that just wasn't the deciding factor. We looked hard at the Bellagio, Venetian, and Nobu (Caesars), but they all ultimately were just much bigger hotels than the MO and that is what swayed us.
Honestly, I can't wait for the transformation of the old Barbary Coast into the Gansevoort, because I think that might be the holy grail of Vegas boutique hotels.
