Mandalay Bay 32nd floor
When the dust settles and Mandalay Bay repairs the damage to their hotel, do you think they will ever give people this 32nd floor corner room - "sniper's nest" - to stay in again? Or will it forever be blocked out?
Would you stay in this room if given to you?
Have you ever stayed in a room (anywhere) that had a verifiably notorious past?

Ugh. I would not want to stay in that room.
I know it's just psychological but I'd rather not knowingly stay in rooms with a checkered past.
We're heading to Vegas in a few weeks and are staying at the sister Delano property. And even that, for lack of a better way to describe it, stirs upsetting emotions in me just being in the vicinity of it all.

After the Kobe Bryant incident at Cordillera, the room was renovated, all furniture and fixtures replaced, and the room was re-numbered so that people would not ask for the "Kobe Bryant room."

Sunil Atreya, an associate professor at the College of Hospitality Management at Johnson & Wales University, has worked in management for the Welcome Group Chain of hotels in India, as well as the Marriott and Holiday Inn in the U.S. Based on his experience, he said, the room will be gutted, refurbished and renumbered, at a minimum — or transformed into something else, such as storage space or a boardroom. He suggested that Mandalay Bay would likely refurbish the entire floor.

I think even the penny pinching MGM execs will do the right thing and permanently wall this area off. People can get on with their lives by staying at other places in the hotel, but never this area.

I read somewhere that the entire 32nd floor will be remodeled and completely new room numbers assigned. Once the remodel is done, nothing from the former layout will be recognizable.

So, going forward from here, renumbering rooms makes sense, don't know about a remodel.
