When you going and how much are you looking to spend and do you want the new vegas or the old vegas?
I've been doing lots of research and discovered the best time to go is "off-season" and there are tons of decent prized hotels, however, it depends on what you are looking to do while there as to where to stay.

Bally's is right across the street from Bellagio and attached to Paris..it's older but is cheaper. Luxor has good deals for suites and they are getting ready to start the new Cirque de Solei with Criss Angel in October...a must see IMO.
if you want to stay in complete luxury the Venetian or Bellagio is the way to go....Stratosphere is on the other side of the strip and it's real cheap because of it....it's only a 5 minute cab ride to Mandalay Bay..

FYI... A number of those are a far, far walk from Mandalay Bay.

Some are at the end of the strip, but it's still walkable. She's going to gamble, she won't be staying put in her room anyway. However, it gives her a starting point to look into for hotels.

I have stayed at several hotels on the strip. For close proximity to Mandalay, I would suggest Ceasars or Paris, which are both quite nice & you can find deals for them on the net.

I'll never forget the Prince concert that I saw in Vegas, it was awesome
I've invited him and :ELVIS: to join us at the
I hope they both show.

I know... I've been... I'm just saying taking the hike from Treasure Island to Mandalay is quite a trek and she needs to be aware of distance. If I were her, I would chose a place very near her central focal point.

when you can legally drink on the sidewalk, is any walk really far? Plus...cabs are cheap!

Personally, I'd rather put my dough in the casinos than in a cabbie's pocket. And if I'm doing the drinking thing right... that makes the trip from one end of the stip to the other take three times as long... besides... the strip is also loaded with seedy characters... again... I'd want to be staying very near my focal point and then if I chose to take the long walks down to the other end of the strip... it would be by my chosing and not out of being forced because I made a bad location choice. There a plenty of awesome places to stay within a couple blocks of Mandalay.

Making the trek from end of the strip to the other IS A LONG WALK regardless if you're drinking or not. Aside from the cab mentioned, there are buses along the strip, a free tram shuttle between some of the hotels and you can buy a day pass to ride the vegas metro-thingy. I always take the free AIR-CONDITIONED tram and then walk the extra few blocks to get to some of the hotels at either end of the strip.

Ok gotcha...I guess to me, I'm laying down 3 times as much on one hand of blackjack than it cost to take a cab ride somewhere....
The seedy characters are why I go to Vegas!...it is by far one of the most fascinating places you can go in the US!
