We arrived at the Mandalay Bay (after a delayedflight) at 1am. We get to the hotel and find out they have OVERBOOKED and we have no room. There are atleast 15 other people in the lobby as upset as us. They end up sending us 10 blocks away to another hotel. They did comp that night (no brainer). But we were very dissapointed that such a nice (and expensive) hotel would overbook many rooms in one night.

Stayed here for a convention. If you have a convention here, you won't have much choice, but the convention facilities are a very far walk from the rooms. The room was smoky, even though I requested non-smoking. The room was also noisy. The pools are of course wonderful, but were very crowded. The restaurant selection and casino were great, but I would come here rather than stay here next time. I liked Shark Reef as a good way to kill an hour. The buffet was on par with other nice hotels such as Bellagio, Paris. I had a nice massage at the spa. The spa amenities are great, but it was crowded. I also went to the spa at THE HOTEL and Mandalay Bay, which I preferred. Also, obviously the Mandalay is not as centrally located on the strip, so we took cabs to other attractions.

Just returned from a weekend away at the Mandalay Bay. We checked in late at night and had no wait time for check in. The room was beautiful and I especially loved the bathroom with the deep bath tub and flat screen TV. House keeping kept the room spotless. Food at the hotel is expensive, but everything is expensive in Vegas. The first night we had dinner at Raffles Cafe, there was a bit of a line for a table but it moved along very quickly. The waitress thought I asked for a turkey burger when I had actually asked for a turkey club, without any complaint the charge was instantly removed from our bill. Check out was also very quick. Room service was also very good. The in room internet is $13.00 a day, which I thought was a bit on the expensive side. Overall, had a wonderful stay, the hotel is beautiful and staff was very friendly.

When we first arrived the check in line was fairly long and I thought I would be in line for a least one hour but the line moved fast and it took only 30 minutes. Not bad for Memorial weekend. We got a room on the 20th floor overlooking the pools. We enjoyed the pool/beach area even though it was crowded. Ate at the red white and blue restaurant and the food was okay. The room was very nice and enjoyed the big tub and flat screen tv's that were in the room. The only problem with the hotel were the elevators. Had to wait a long time to get on the elevator. Check out went fairly quickly and my car was retrieved quickly from valet. Overall the stay was great and we will stay here again.
