My husband and I stayed at the Mandalay Bay at the end of May 2008. I snagged a very reasonable rate on the hotel website for a Monday (Memorial Day) through mid week stay. Upon arrival, the check in line was outrageously long; however, the decor and upkeep of the hotel definitely outweighed the minor inconvenience of very long check-in lines. We were extremely pleased with our room. It looked pretty much like the preview pictures on the hotel website. The fake beach and pools are just excellent!! Get there early to snag good spots by the beach or pools. We thought the dining options and casino are great, too. It was a short walk to the Luxor and Excalibur for other nearby options. While this hotel is at the end of Las Vegas blvd, that really did not detract from our stay. There are plenty of options for getting to the other hotels on the boulevard such as the tram, the monorail, or renting a car. Staying at this hotel was well worth being at the end of the Blvd. We would highly recommend this hotel and will definitely stay there again on our next trip. It's a class act.

Had a 4 night stay at The Hotel with my niece and her boyfriend. We both booked V suites and asked for as high a floor as possible. Upon checking in, we were offered floor 17: one with strip view and one with pool view. We did ask if we waited longer, if any higher floors would become available and even asked about the H suite and what cost for upgrading. Unfortunately, there were none available so we stayed put.

As it was a V suite, they were at the end of the corridor, either side of the express Mix lift which when looking out the windows at night, gave us quite a scare when it zipped past quickly.

The rooms were very spacious, with plenty of room to spread out. The bathroom was also roomy with many toiletries supplied (although don't try the dental elixir it's awful). Lying in bed, we could see the whole of Mandalay Bay and watch the planes taking off. My niece (who had the strip view) found it difficult seeing past the Luxor as floor 17 appeared to be smack bang in the middle of that building so obviously difficult to see around.

The only downfall of the room was the lack of hanging space. Due to the safe being on top of the drawers in the closet, it meant only extremely short clothes could be hung up on the one side. On the other side where longer clothes could be hung, the ironing board took up most of the space. If any more than two people were staying in the suite for a long time, this could really be an issue of cramming stuff into the closet or not fully unpacking.

We didn't receive bathrobes as promised for our stay on arrival, but after leave a tip for the made and leaving a note, these arrived, along with thong type slippers which we found very useful.

The beds were very comfortable and we slept well with no disturbances from other guests. We never had any problems with cleaning and the maid service was fine. We never had turn down at this hotel but it maybe that this hotel just doesn't do it unlike the Bellagio and Venezia tower.

As my niece had not been to Vegas before, we walked a lot along the strip and found the tram direct to Excalibur an absolute must. It really helps when you're this far up the strip.

Overall, a great stay, we absolutely loved the tranquility of The Hotel against the hustle and bustle of Mandalay Bay. It was very quiet on the run up to Thanksgiving but on Thanksgiving day, we noticed how much busier everything became and were very glad to be leaving.

Definitely a recommended hotel, but if you wants views, floors 25 upwards would be recommended.

Great value. Have stayed here frequently from conferences to a bachelorette party. Love the hotel. Rooms spacious. Pool scene hot. A bit separated form the rest of the strip but easily remedied by tram and cabs.

15th of November - 7 nights - THEsuite
Me and My Boyfriend are just back after a week in THEhotel, Las Vegas.
I cannot fault anything in this hotel. From the moment we pulled up to the entrance of the hotel to the time we left the hotel we were treated like royalty. All members of staff were friendly and helpful.
The rooms were huge, we were on the 17th floor overlooking the strip (most of the view was the Luxor Hotel) I would recommend trying to get a floor above the 23rd Floor to get a better view of the strip. I absolutely loved the huge tub - when you sat in it the top of the bath was over your shoulders and also the his and her sinks and vanitys.
Whenever we left our room and came back our room had been cleaned to perfection - I cant understand how people are complaining about the housekeeping service as ours was perfect.
The bed was the most comfortable bed i've ever slept in (as a travel agent - I travel alot and have stayed in many hotels).
Room Service was cheap enough and absolutely delicious and always arrived when we asked for it.
all the public areas of the hotel and also the resort were spotless clean and flawless.
If there was one thing bad I would say about the hotel it would be the location - it is quite a far walk to the middle of the strip but apart from that THEhotel was perfect. I will be recommending this hotel to all my clients, family and friends.
And when I get to go to Las Vegas again I will definitely be staying there again.
