This place is very very nice. As soon as you walk in you will see that they spared no money in building a class A hotel and resort. Every employee was helpful and friendly,,the rooms are definitely worth the dollar. These places are expensive to eat and play in but if you plan it right,,,eat around the area,,buy your own drink and don't spend all your time in the casino you will have a great stay!!! We would recommend it to our friends.

I haven't stayed at Mandalay Bay in a long time and remember when "The Beach" at Mandalay was the pool to be at and the bars and clubs were hot spots. Things have changed. The rooms are still very nice -- comfy beds, deep soaking tub in the bathroom with lots of counter space, plasma TV's in the main area and bathroom, etc . . The restaurants are still good, the shops are OK, etc . . The one thing I did not enjoy was how family friendly Mandalay Bay has become. The pool was full of families, every time you tried to get on the elevator you could barely fit because families of five had huge rafts to bring to the pool. The night scene at Mandalay was sad. Mainly couples too excited to have a night away from the kids dancing to the band playing bad cover songs from the early 90's.

The fitness center and spa were great!

If you are a family looking for a nice play to stay you'll love Mandalay. If you are single or have no kids there are many other places in Vegas to stay that would better suit you.

We found a great deal on their website and since their pool has such a good reputation, we booked our anniversary weekend here. We weren't disappointed.

We only waited a couple minutes in line to check in, but our turn at the desk went so smoothly that I thought I missed something. We were quickly on our way to wait in line for the elevator to get to our room! It turned out to be the only time that this happened going up, though the button on our floor malfunctioned later that evening and the elevators going down didn't stop. Otherwise our elevator experiences were smooth.

Our room was clean, the bed and pillows comfortable but the TV remotes didn't work (hey, we have to check the weather to see if the next day is going to be 106 deg. and sunny or 107 deg. and sunny). The sectional couch looked nice, but could have been more comfortable, especially when you get online for a while (at $15 for 24 hours). We liked the bathroom area since we weren't in each others way when getting ready to go.

The pools was what we expectated. We spend our day relaxing, reading, soaking in the cool water so we appreciate some shade, which was had a large demand and short supply. It was quite crowded both days, so they could have had another waitress or two on shift (they disappear for extended periods), but I managed to navigate to the bar for a bucket o' beer when desired. We floated around the lazy river a couple times and I taught my wife how to properly utilize the wave pool like the other (forty) eight year olds. The poor water quality at the MGM gave me pinkeye the last couple years, so I was glad that it wasn't a problem here. I would have liked a better variety of lunch choices, but we made do with what the menu.

We caught a game at the sports book, where the waitress seemed to go out of her way to ignore our needs, but the pastrami sandwich at the deli made up for that. Usually we make a trip to the other casinos, but for the most part, we stayed on property this year and didn't miss much (like trying to get around the CityCenter construction). It didn't bother us that we were on the far end of the strip.

Overall, we were pleased with our stay and hope to be back next year.

I fell in love with MB several years ago. It became our hotel home in Vegas, which we visit twice per year.

The front desk staff have always been unfriendly. ALWAYS. But something started to go terribly wrong about a year and a half ago. First it was the pool being so crowded we couldn't find a chair - EVER. And then it became dirty rooms, being shorted towels in the bathroom and dirty showers in the rooms, to no maid service until 5pm. The toilet in our room also had a dark burn on the seat and the bed was terribly uncomfortable. This hotel always had such a beautiful smell to it, but last time, it was more like a cheap gas station restroom smell. The lazy river was SO crowded, we didn't even get in it this time. When I mentioned some of the problems to the hotel staff, they actually became abusive with me!!!!!!

I believe this was once a solid 4-star hotel. However, for the experienced traveler, it's a 3-star, on a good day.

What did it for us was the obvious "escorts" in the casino and the blatant ones in the hallways, knocking on their "customer's" doors.

We will NEVER stay here again. Consider yourselves warned.

Short and sweet...or not so sweet.
Easter weekend full of kids. WHO KNEW? Who takes their kids to sin city on Easter? OK OK, that in itself forced us to the adult only pool which was skanky at best. Choices: Kids vs Skanks.

Rooms were okay but staff was HORRID. It took them an hour to bring ice bags to our room since it seemed they forgot something important each day they cleaned our room. Did I mention the staff was horrid? Not only were they rude, but they made me and my friend walk into the hotel soaking wet because there was some "rule" about taking a towel from the pool to the room. And not only was that "rule" cattle called to us, the attendants actually smarted off to us when we protested! However, for that the hotel manager did give us a free lunch by the pool the next day. Which of course for my friend they brought the wrong food. How does cheeseburger sound like fish tacos anyway?

The ONLY good thing about the hotel was the restaurant Strip Steak. I about killed over when someone actually greeted me and told me we could order our food however we wanted and family style if that is how we chose it. Yes, the BEST experience in Vegas was that restaurant.

Mandalay Bay SUCKED. Sorry, cant say it any nicer. Actually, that was being nice. I didnt realize the crowd there was so trashy too...thats another story for another time. Take me to the Bellagio.
