have stayed before and this time took 5 others with me from the u.k. nothing has changed, from the moment we arrived we were treated like kings.

the staff could not do enough for us, all 3 suites were in fine order.
the prices are reasonable in the mini bar and i used a points card in the machines in the casino and had the whole room charge wiped off!! what more could you ask for. id highly reccomend this place. it is for adults and chic people especially upstairs in the mix club. (fortunatly vegas is at last getting away from the "disney theme"
and reinventing itself as a place for adults like it always was.
(no screaming brats).

id reccomend this place for couples and singles too and itsa great place to party. cant wait till march when im back again! well done THE HOTEL.

I stayed here with friends/colleagues for a medical conference this past weekend. I visit Vegas 3-4 times per year on average, and I usually now stay at the Palazzo. But I stayed here because it was the site of the conference I was attending. First the good: the room was fairly newly renovated, nice decor, good size, good bathroom. It was clean with the exception of a conspicuous red stain on the carpet. Now the problems. Upon arrival, I was given a room initially that was half-cleaned and serviced. The beds appeared made, but there was garbage as well as used towels scattered in the room and bathroom. That was a first for me. Contacted the front desk, and I had to go down, stand in line, and have them re-check me into a different room. A true luxury hotel, which this is not, would have sent someone to move me to a new room to avoid the trek back to the front desk and subsequent second wait. They did give me a $100 food and bev credit for my trouble, which was a good touch. The new room I was moved to was fine. The bed was a little soft for my tastes, but the big problem was the worst pillows ever in a hotel bed. Really soft, flat down pillows. Two of them stacked did not help. Two others at the conference with me agreed that this was the case in their rooms as well. After one sleepless night, I called to request a firmer foam pillow. It took multiple calls and a one hour wait until someone delivered one to me. Fireworks testing and subsequently the real deal starting at 5:40 am one morning right in front of the hotel for the LV marathon was a little inconsiderate. I don't expect the highest level of accomodations or service in Vegas, due to the nature of the Vegas tourism business, but there are some standards, and in the four star category, I would rate Mandalay the lowest I've encountered. The Palazzo and the Venetian are approximately the same price or just a little more, and both are far superior to this. Bellagio and Wynn are of course superior to this hotel, but more expensive. In the same price range or less than Mandalay, but better than Mandalay are Caesar's, Mirage, Treasure Island.

We recently stayed three nights at TheHotel at Mandalay Bay and loved it. We live in Phoenix and travel to Vegas a few times each year. This was our third stay at TheHotel and I have to say it remains my favorite up-scale accomodation in Vegas. It's very sleek , modern, and private. I like the fact that it is non-gaming. However the Mandalay Bay casino is just a few steps from the lobby so it's there if/when you want it. We were upgraded to a corner "V" suite on the 29th floor and had floor to ceiling views of the Strip from our dreamy bed. Very cool. Service was excellent and our suite was clean and ready when we checked in around 3:00 ish.

The BathHouse (spa) is to die for. Very modern and minimal decor. LOVE IT! We ate at MIX on the top floor, also our third dining experience there. Food and service were excellent. It's an absolute beautiful restaurant. The bar is great as well. Both very pricy so come prepared to pay for the great experience. Dinner generally sets us back $250+...

We have seen most of the Cirque shows in Vegas (all excellent) and this time decided to check out a "girlie show". Went to see Crazy Girls at the old Rivera. What a dump! The show was terrible - could not wait until it was over. Don't bother. However, do bother to consider Crazy Horse at the MGM Grand. Very wonderful and well done. Very Moulin Rouge... Classy.

Have fun!

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.
