“The Island Penthouse Suite - an unreal experience!”

Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino

Our suite at Mandalay was called “the Island Suite” and I have no idea how my mom talked the guy into giving us this when she booked our honeymoon… but WOW.

It was on the top floor – 62.
the penthouse suite…
1,610 square feet.
Best view of the strip you can imagine… especially at night. I was cursing my crappy camera because i just could not get a good picture out of it.
we were litterally right beside the sign at the roof that reads "Mandalay Bay"

the suite had everything. a kitchen, dining room, two bathrooms, sitting room, living room and a beautiful bedroom featuring the most amazing bathroom ever.
this bathroom had a giant Jacuzzi tub, two showers and a steam room.
My description does not do it justice. It was simply the best hotel room I’ve ever seen in my life. it was twice the size of my condo.
Furnishings were high-end and in terrific condition.

We should have known we were in for something good when we were escorted to a private unmarked elevator and the door to our suite had double doors, lol.
this was and is likely to be the nicest room i'll ever have the pleasure of staying in.

we ordered room service twice, once in the evening for appies and a cheese plate and once in the morning. both meals were excellent and the service was impeccable. they actually put down a table cloth and set the table for us.
when we had the appies served, my dad was fiddling with the tv, trying to get his camera hooked up, so we could look at pictures. the room service guy came over to help, and when he couldn't get it it working, he sent for another employee that came up and managed to get it working. we didn't even ask for help, they just jumped on it.

overall we loved the hotel... it was our first time staying there, and that room definitely raised the bar.
we loved the beach pool, and over the course of our trip ate at border grill (my fav place to eat in vegas - so delish!), the buffet for lunch (good selection, okay service), house of blues for lunch (always happy with the food there) and shanghai lily (good food, but i'm not sure i'd rush back. there's better options in that hotel i think)

My parents recommended the hotel and it lived up to my expectations. Fantastic pool and great view of the strip from my room.

my trip to las vegas was a 50th birthday celebration that had been postphoned for three years....first chance I had to travel with both my grown daughters and celebrate this milestone...we booked here because of the pools and everything being in one location...we were delighted with the whole experience...the
icing on the (birthday) cake, though, was presented at check-in...
they asked me at the desk if I wanted a free upgrade....I am thinking from standard room to deluxe room - right????? No, it was even better than that!!! They gave me a pass key to PENTHOUSE suite!!!! It was spectacular...the view from our room out to the pools was awsome, the suite was fantastic,
I mean really decked out!!! and the square footage was as big as my house back home....It had a spa tub, steam shower,
a bed fit for a queen and two princesses...People there were so nice...and floors 60-62 (we were on the 62nd floor) had their own
elevator.... I truely felt like a queen for a day!!! thanks mandalay bay...!!!

“BAD EXPERIANCE”

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.

“Not bad for short stay but some problems”

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.
