Very underrated!. IMO there is a huge difference between Mandalay Bay and the TheHotel. I loved the ease of getting to and out of my room. Mandalay was very crowed the weekend i went- you couldn't tell at TheHotel. The elevators were not busy, the rooms were more updated, the coffee bar and bar were not crowded. I stayed at TheSuite, very nice robes included, excellent bathtubs (even better than the tubs at The Vista Suite) I will stay at TheHotel everytime I go to Vegas. Mix Lounge is there, very nice clubs with the best views anywhere in Vegas.

I flew from London, UK to Las Vegas for a 1 week relaxing summer holiday with my spouse and booked the entire stay at The Hotel, Mandalay. I wish I had never used orbitz as I could not change my hotel. We were stuck once we received poor service. We asked reception if our room was a strip view? She said they only had rooms with a pool or mountain view left. So I asked for a V suite upgrade. She said they were all fully booked. So I asked to see this pool view room. The view was a far off view of the pool with a huge view of the airstrip and the noise was loud when I turned off the a/c (hotels turn it on if the room is noisy). So I asked to see the mountain view room. She said I could only see 1 room and that was that! I told her I had flown all the way from England and my entire holiday was The Hotel and that the pool room I was shown was too noisy as it was east facing. She then miraculously said oh there is a strip view V suite if you pay $40 + tax per night. She had lied to me about availability! She then said but it is on the 9th floor so you will not see the strip? I was baffled as why would I pay a supplement for a room with a strip view that now does not have a view? So I asked to see the room to see how much of a strip view if any before I pay an extra $40 + tax. She said no. I had my one look. So I asked to see the manager. I was jet-lagged off 18 hours of travelling to get to LV, was under the weather and here I was in distress over check-in and dealing with a deceitful and most unhelpful receptionist who listened to me straining to speak without any sympathy. The manager appeared to tell me that yes indeed there was a strip view room on the 32nd floor and proceeded to check me in with the extra charge. 30 minutes of standing and not once was I offered a seat for my incredible fatigue and being poorly.

Did not sleep a wink. The strip view was in the sitting room and the bedroom faced, you got it, the airport, east facing. So when I can get my eyes open properly, I shall be asking for a west-facing room facing the mountains just to get some sleep on vacation. Never again will I stay at The Hotel! This is the worst reception check-in experience of my life and my husband and I have travelled the world. I would expect any human being to say oh you are sick. Please sit down here and we will sort this out for you. Yes I appreciate you have flown a long way just to stay at our hotel and we would want to do the best to ensure you are happy with us. But instead I got lied to, did not get a wink of sleep and have to face check-in again to get a quiet west facing room (if they tell me there is none, I shall scream!)

Just returned home from las vegas Stayed at hotel mandalay bay
this hotel does not have own pool luss shares pool with mandalay bay hotel The pool was so busy you had to get up really early to find sun beds .Lots of people reserving beds!
$140 per day to rent bed with pads and parasol whooping $600 for cabanan All pools only open at weekend
If you are going to las vegas for some relaxation in the sun Do not pick this hotel

having justarrivedback home ifeel i have to give this hotel abig shout as it was beautiful, very clean the staff very curtious and the beds are the beds arethe best ever i wantedto spend my whole holiday just lying there watching the massive plasma screen he he, check in took about 10 mins no probs, this is my 1st time to vegas so did not know what to expect but loved the hotel only downside was the price of food and drinks it cost 24dollers for 2x vodka and cokes which to me is very very expensive,i only spent one day by the wave pool which was brill but again my only complaintwould be having to pay 10 dollers for a pint of water the buffet which cost 23 dollers was well worth the price tho and was fantastic would recomend this hotel to anyone but just be aware it.s not cheap!!!!!!!!!!! its about a 10 min walk to centre of vegas we ate in bills gambleing hall quite abit the victoria room that was really good and cost wasok to eat and drink there, you can pay 3 dollers each for a bus that will last 24 hours and you can get on and off anytime and as many times as you like it stops at every hotel along the strip highly recomended for getting about.
