We usually go to Las Vegas each year for a business convention and have discovered the great deals of a few years ago no longer exist so we decided not to stay on the strip and opted for the Holiday Inn Express South Las Vegas.
It was a good choice, just far enough away from the frenzy that is Vegas, but close enough to get to shows/restaurants etc.
The hotel proivdes a shuttle service to the Mandalay Bay Hotel (where the convention was being held) every 30 minutes, and to the MGM Grand on the hour, so both my husband and I made good use of both these services. The MGM Grand was a better destination for me as it put me closer to the monorail or the bus service, whereas, getting off at the Manadalbay still meant a good 15 minute walk to the strip or to the monorail to the Excalibar Hotel.
The hotel itself is standared Holiday Inn, rooms are functional but somewhat impersonal, but the beds are FANTASTIC, most comfortable bed I think I have ever slept in and the pillows are great too. They offer an express breakfast which is ok, cereal, yoghurt, toast etc, all on throwaway plates but it is included in the room rate.
I would definitely stay here again, just for the simple fact there is no casino to have to walk through to get anywhere in the hotel is a bonus for me!
