Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino – Las Vegas

By Zeke Quezada, About.com

What to expect at the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino:

When you walk into the Mandalay Bay it just feels nice. It does not at all feel like a cheesy Las Vegas hotel, it feels like an oasis in the Southern Nevada desert. Located at the southern end of the Las Vegas strip the Mandalay Bay is the type of resort that is both classy and hip. While the Bellagio may boast the high end everything, the Mandalay Bay exist on its own level of luxury. If you’re looking for great restaurants, great entertainment, incredible pool and Las Vegas gaming action in an elegant and upscale location this is it.

What you might like at the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino:

Where do you begin? The Beach at Mandalay Bay is the ultimate pool complete with a wave pool and lazy river. The Vodka Bar and the fire dancers and the bungee jumping wine steward. Did I mention the Sharks? The House of Blues? The spacious rooms with Jacuzzi tubs?
THEhotel at Mandalay Bay is what hotels aspire to be, with flat screens TV’s in both the sleeping area and the separate living area. They went all out and there is no way you cannot fall in love with this place. Modern decor and a lot of space.

What you might not like at the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino:

The price. The high limits on weekends and the potential for pretentious patrons.

My suggestion:

Spend the extra money and take full advantage of what the Mandalay Bay has to offer. Walk over to the eyecandy sound lounge and listen to the music while you enjoy a drink or two and then order a Martini at Red Square before you decide on dinner at Stripsteak, Aureole or rumjungle. What a night.

Rooms at the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino:4400+ The rooms are large and offer views of the strip, the pool or the red rocks of the distant mountains. If you like huge restrooms these do not disappoint as all have separate showers and tubs. My first son took his first bath in a Mandalay Bay tub with the Jacuzzi jets set on high. Easily the best part of the rooms is the floor to ceiling windows that let you see everything. If possible opt for a high floor strip view and you may never want to check out. Ok, the price, are you sitting down? Weekday the prices can be as low as $140 but usually they hover around $170 and weekends can go upwards of $300. Add at least $100 to all prices for THEhotel at Mandalay Bay, oh, but it’s worth it.
