Just when I thought I had it all figured out- Wynn or MB?

A little background info-

Traveling to Vegas May 11-15th for some R %26amp; G! (relaxing and gambling)

I am a HET follower- but getting sick of the BJ rules and would like to stay in different hotels for new experiences!

I would like to establish a better gambling relationship with the MGM group.

I was debating between the Mirage %26amp; MB both cost around the same price. Ultimately decided on MB- for the pool and its close to Burger Bar!

Will have a rental car- so moving around the strip is not an issue.

Here is what I am now considering and need your help-

Wynn would cost about $450.00 to stay and MB is $380.00. The difference in money is not an issue, however for those of you who have stayed at Wynn- is it snobby? I want a fun place to gamble and get a little crazy. I don%26#39;t know if I would ever have the Wynn as my main gambling mecca- too expensive table limits! Would it even make sense given the information to stay at the Wynn?

One other thing, my DH and I like the pool but don%26#39;t want to be over run with kids! I don%26#39;t think there should be too many kids in mid May at the MB pool since most will still be in school. Are the kids even an issue at the Wynn pool?

Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Have a fun and foolish April%26#39;s Fools Day!

';fun place to gamble and get a little crazy'; - That%26#39;s MB, not Wynn.

There will be kids at the pools, even in May. More at MB obviously. But the MB pool complex is large and the kids tend to congregate in a couple places - there are area%26#39;s that are essentially kid free.

On the gaming side, Wynn generally has higher limits at the tables. So, if you want to play $10 BJ, you are out of luck. Expect $25 as the staple minimum, with a couple of $15 tables thrown in. You may fare better going mid week, my experience in only on weekends. Conversely, you can stay at Wynn and still do you gaming at Mirage or another MGM property.

Thank you for your input! I appreciate it.

I stayed at MB in June and have spent all day at the pool and have never had a problem with kids. There will be more of them around the wave pool and lazy river but the complex is so big you can find a spot in the east or west pools and you will be fine. Or rent a cabana and have your own space. Also, MB has a casino at the pool so you can get the best of both worlds

That week in May you will probably be able to count the kids at the Wynn pool on one hand. I am serious, there will probably be less than 5 in the entire pool! If this is your primary goal, Wynn is the place to go.

Mandalay Bay won%26#39;t be that bad either that week, but there will always be kids there, especially at the wavepool and the river.

Wynn is a better hotel, period. But it is not snobby. If anything at today%26#39;s rates (and comps) it is more casual than normal.

The VP at Wynn is much better than MB, but the table limits at both casinos are about the same.

If you want a little more relaxing or luxurious experience go with Wynn, but if the pool really matters you can%26#39;t beat MB.

We like to hang out at the pool, but its not like we will be there all day every day.

The main issue for me is the gambling. I do want to establish a gaming relationship outside of HET. I am not a high roller but rather, a medium roller. I do get great offers from HET, but want to venture out.

I do like to play VP! I could spend hours playing. Also, I am a big fan of the dice but usually play at Casino Royale - they have 20x odds. My DH loves BJ, which is one of the reasons we are switching hotel properties!

I too am a pool lover. We always stay @ Harrahs, and I know some people don%26#39;t care for their pool, but I always have a blast. We were there is September with our 3 sons %26amp; their girlfriends and had the best time @ the pool. All I need to do is get wet and have cocktails!

Wynn is snobby and has higher limits. MB is a much better choice.

Just got back from Wynn, and I never felt like it was snobby. Not sure what kind of table limits you consider to be ';too expensive';, but I played $15 BJ every night I was there, and definitely noticed the $10 craps tables getting very loud and exciting.

The Wynn casino in general is the most beautiful casino I%26#39;ve ever seen, and it just ';feels'; comfortable (IMO). Can%26#39;t speak of pools because it was too cold, but I can probably count on one hand the number of kids I saw in 4 days.

Never been to MB, so I can%26#39;t offer a comparison, but I have NO problem recommending Wynn to anyone!
