My husband and I stayed at this hotel on twice in Vegas. We are quite picky with our choices and were very pleased with this hotel. Admitted Trip Advisor junkies, we read all the reviews of this hotel and others before booking our trip. Our big "musts": cleanliness, location, ambiance, and as close to 5 star quality as possible. We usually stay at the Bellagio. The hotel is really two hotels in one. Mandalay Bay and then THE Hotel. They share the same public areas and restaurants. THE Hotel has it’s own reception area and offers a more upscale suite style hotel experience. CLEANLINESS: This hotel was very clean! The lobby, reception, restaurants and guest rooms were spotless. Not one complaint. Everything looked and smelled new. LOCATION: it is at the end of the strip, closest to the airport. No airplane noise. There is a train that connects this hotel with The Luxor and The Excalibur. AMBIANCE: my husband and I dislike fussy and overly ornate décor. The hotel is beautiful with classic, clean lined furniture and decorations. GUEST ROOM: We stayed in their standard room There is a separate living room from the bedroom. The bedroom was comfy. The bathroom was wonderful! Marble floors, huge walk in marble shower and nice sized vanity. Huge soaking bathtub. Having a living room with a chair and sofa and a desk to work from was first-rate. It was like we had our own “flat” or apartment.
This is a large hotel, but it remained very quiet. It was pleasant to return to after very long days of site seeing & gambling. We were treated well and had absolutely no issues with this property. We did not utilize the business or spa facilities.
