the mandalay bay parking structure is VERY unsafe, and you must valet your car. We have had problems with safety and breakins/damage to our car multiple times. The valet is free so there is NO reason to park here. Valet and you will be fine, inside the resort is very clean and safe.

4th time at MB and we still haven't gotten sick of this place - can't wait to return!

We arrived July 2 at 9:00am and the front desk had no line whatsoever. We were able to check in immediately and received one of the new rooms on the 26th floor with a strip view- WOW - if you have stayed here before, the bathrooms are the same, but the rest of the room is completely remodeled and they are just beautiful (watch out though, the minibar charges you as soon as you pick stuff up, so be forewarned to admire from afar unless you actually want to buy the $28 vodka!)

We had no trouble finding seats at the pool each day without having to wait in line (both at the beach and at our favorite pool, the "south lagoon" pool which is very secluded) - perhaps on weekends there is more of a problem finding a place to sit but we went out each day between 10:00am - 2:00pm. The complaint we had was the terrible music they play from 11:00am - 1:00pm - enough steel drums, give me some Kelly Clarkson or something!

There are tons of great options for food/drinks - especially Raffles, Border Grill, and Red Square. We did find that the cocktail waitresses at MB are few and far between, which equals fewer drinks with a bit more attitude than we liked, so we gambled at Mirage instead since they are on the players club.

If anyone has questions, feel free to email!

Just got back from 3 days at the Mandalay Bay - had read previous postings on Trip Advisor and have to agree with some of the observations. Front desk staff was very indifferent - when we checked out they just handed us our final bill - no "how was your stay?" etc. Walls are paper thin - could hear entire conversations from the room next door as well as every time a neighboring room flushed a toilet or took a shower. Housekeeping service was minimal - they changed the towels and made the bed but did not see any signs of sweeping bathroom floor or vacuuming in bedroom. On a lighter note: the pool area is very nice and large (hard to catch a cocktail waitress), rooms are nicely decorated, other staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. Final note: with all the choices available on the strip did not feel that this hotel is worth our repeat business - will stick with the Venetian where we have stayed before and had good experiences. (Did not stay there this time due to construction nearby - thought we'd try someplace new).

Hi,
Stayed there last month with my girlfriend and as part of the holiday we went to see Ricky Hatton fight at the Thomas and Mack Centre. I must say that on reading all the scare mongering on this thread I was bit concerned but it's an amazing hotel. Huge, comfortable and the rooms (or at leat the one we were in ) was really nice. We needed to extend our stay at the hotel and I must say they were pretty unhelpful with this. First the rates were treble what we'd paid to start with then later in the week they couldn't accomodate us. I did this the service and general manner could be worked on but we had a really good time there. The wave pool and the beach that's in the hotel really are spectacular and something most of the hotels in Vegas dream about. The location is at one end of the strip and although you can see everything and where you want to go getting there is a different story!! The place is huge and being a bit further in would be an advantage. I'd stay again and I think the reviews of the hotel are a touch harsh.
