Normally FS and MO are no-brainers but in LV, its a little different. They market themselves as an 'escape' from the glitz and glammor of the Strip but at the same time being 'on' the Strip. I disliked having to take 2 elevators to get to my room at MO and felt overwhelmed by the doorman, 3 bellmen and others waiting at the front door as I got out of the car.

Hopefully this model will be sustainable for MO and FS. Hard for them to compete when all the new strip hotels promote their 'all suites' rooms for much less.
