Looking for the better choice of these two hotels. I'm going for a wedding at the MGM. I will be traveling alone. The hotel will more or less be a palce to sleep. I want to keep a low budget for hotel and air. I don't figure I will spend too much time in my room other then sleeping. Walking didtance to the MGM will be important. Any advice between choosing one of these two would be great. Thanks

I would prefer NY/NY for amenities, food and service.

Lux is better than Ex and a free monorail will drop you off at the corner anyway. If you REALLY want to save some coin, Hooters is directly across the street from the MGM. Low rates...low amenities. Have fun regardless.

The hotel is nice, but the rooms are outdated, and there was a great deal of bird garbage on the window. NYNY would be your best option if you can get it cheap. I would even suggest Tropicana which has been renovated.

Been there every year since 05 and have stayed at Excalibur 3 times. If you are like me and my friends we go down to get fucked up, gamble and bang girl. At 4 in the morning it doesn't matter where you are staying they will follow. If you are going down with your girl NY/NY is a good one. Also like the new Aria. Stayed there last year at a very reasonable price plus you are rightin the middle of the strip. Anyways have a great time.

NY NY and Tropicana came in about $100 more for the package. Really will just need a place to crash. So this seems like it will do the trick.

Excalibur theme is just garbage, and kids, it's almost Circus Circus, lol...... you said wedding is at MGM and u just want cheap place sleep etc? Try the Tropicana right across, they really renovated it nicely, and can walk the tunnel right to MGM.
