Mandalay is a muuuuuuch nicer property, while MGM will be more convenient and more poker-friendly. But MGM's for the kiddies while Mandalay's for the adults.
If you're comparing based on poker don't even consider Mandalay though- their poker room is barely a poker room. The rooms at Mandalay though are recently remodeled and are very nice, and the property in general is just light years better than MGM- better pool, better casino, less giant Asian families with two strollers and a 4'7'' grandma. Plus you can take their monorail direct to Excalibur and walk across the street to MGM if you want to play poker there. And as far as walking anywhere that time of year, you won't. I walked from Bellagio to Monte Carlo one day (and that's practically next door) in 112 degree heat and I actually lit on fire. Rough day.
