This hotel is amazing.
We were upgraded on arrival to a penthouse room on 61. It was bigger than our house!!
There is panoramic views of 3 aspects of Vegas and we were tempted to stay on there and not return to LA.
The "room" left us speechless, which says it all!

Figured I would write up a review about this place, stayed here last May for the Choice Hotels convention.

We got two rooms since there were four of us. Our room was fine. I really like the bedding these big-time hotels have. The room was clean enough for me.

But I had to give it three stars because of two things. In the other room we had, their A/C unit was not in working condition. The first night, they struggled, in the morning they called and said it'd be fixed. We went on to the convention, came back, and they got stuck again without the A/C. Memory is fuzzy now, so don't remember if they got it the next day or not, but I'm pretty sure that they were out of luck for the duration of our stay there.

Also, there was just something about that t.v., that I just didn't like. I'm not going to go much into this because I may be confusing this with the Hard Rock there, as I've stayed in both places the same amount of time.

Check-in, check-out wasn't as speedy as I liked was the second thing. Although when we did get up to the desk, the staff WAS friendly...it's one of those things where you just don't know when the traffic is going to get too much. But it did, and the wait was just bleh. So expensive that I'm just not sure it was worth it, of course, we had no choice and ppl that tend to stay at these high-ends usually don't have a choice(conventions, gambling convenience, etc).

We included THEhotel in our recent package holiday to the West Coast USA through Virgin Holidays. This separately branded “all suite” hotel is part of the Mandalay Bay and provides high quality suites in a more relaxing and up-scale environment. Everything is labelled “THE”, including the shop, bar, restaurant, coffee shop and toilet paper. It has its own spa although the Mandalay Bay spa is bigger and better. Being a short walk from the Mandalay Bay casino it is quieter and less frantic than its neighbour and also has better working lifts! Try not to get a 3rd floor room as this is the lowest floor with a limited number of rooms probably used when the hotel is full and there are no meetings in the meeting rooms which fill most of this floor. Being the lowest rooms they are on the same level as the flat roofs so the view is not good. Finally, be aware of THEsmell from the stench pipes outside the 3rd floor windows and the restrooms on the ground floor. Apart from this THEhotel is great (not cheap but great).

Myself, my brother and some friends were in Vegas for a birthday party April 6-9th. My brother and myself had suites at TheHotel and it was a pleasure staying there for the most part. Check in was quick and easy. My brothers room was not ready however mine was so he left his and luggage in my room and we were able to go walk the strip, gamble etc until his was ready. Now for inconveinece number one. The front desk clerk told him his room would be right down the hall and he would notify cleaning staff and it would be ready within a hour and a half. They told him they would call him on his cell phone. This was at 10:30 am or so the first day. We went and walked around etc and by 2pm stil no phone call so we stopped by the desk and were told he shouldnt have told us a time and his room still was not ready. They finally called close to 3 pm. If we had not had another room this would have been a major inconvenience. If the room is not ready til 3 when check in time is then dont tell people that it will be its as simple as that. We got his room finally and everything after that, food, cleaning service etc was great. Until the last night that is. My brother went back to his room toward dinner time and the card wouldnt open the door, he then went to the front desk who told him the problem was fixed and gave him new cards for the door. Those didnt work either. We had to wait for security who could not open the door and then engineering who had to put a new lock on all the time while we waited. So after that two hour process from desk to fixture being replaced we were not happy as we missed the last night having dinner with our friends. After this incident we went to the front desk and not only did they comp his last night but mine as well due to us both missing dinner and also gave us a large food credit for the restaurants.

Overall I would highly recommend this hotel. The service was great and to be fair since they compensated the both of us for the lock mishap when it wasnt even my room I would have to say I cant complain too much.

The only thing about this hotel is it is at the far end of the strip so other than the Excalibur and the Luxor which are connected everything else is a walk or a cab ride so just be aware. The food, service and even the gambling were great as far as various denominations and different slots and table games. I would stay there again no problem.
