Hey Yota book your flight and hotel seperate and directly with each,Diffently fly SWA, And sign up for all the properties email offers you will get better deals and maybe some freebies, When are you going. MGM is a great place but if you can afford it I would stay at mandalay bay it a great place,It is at the south end of the strip but you can alwaqys use the double duece bus up and down the strip. And just remember when looking at the next property your going to that its not as close as it seems.... Oh if you want to stay mid strip Planet Hollywood is pretty cool place to stay its one of the few places I have yet to stay at. Any questions PM me and I can answer just about any question u have.
