Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino

Bad food at four restaurants. Pool closed. No type of entertainment in bars. Stand in line at pool to order food and barely warm when arrived. Does not feel like a resort. Every little thing was an extra charge. Not a good location.

This place is gorgeous. The rooms are big and clean. The Sportsbook is awesome, Great restaurants and cocktail lounges, Service with a smile, you can get on a $10 blackjack table in the mornings and afternoons. The pool is HUGE and fun. Yes, it's a hike to the Bellagio and Paris. But everything else makes it worth it.

Level 22 was a bit outdated amd room wasn't anything special, per say. A bit overpriced for the room and experience. It was fun, but I think a hotel a little closer or into the strip would have been a better choice for me.

We spent the previous 10 days travelling around National, State, and Indian parks where the accommodations were good but more Spartan. The Mandalay Bay was the perfect place to have our last few of vacation day stays to relax and unwind from the rigors of a 4,000 mile trip!

Perfect for those with lots of money! (Breakfast for two was about $80, a single-serve pizza was $27) Additionally, I have some mobility issues, and this resort offers NO WHERE to sit and take a moment to rest (even a simple bench here and there)! The only locations to sit were in a restaurant, in the casino, or the couple of sofas by the check in desk leading to the Four Seasons. For that reason alone, I would not stay at the Mandalay Bay Resort again in the future. If you use rideshare, you can get dropped off at the front door but to pick one up you have to hike to the other side (either conference area or Four Seasons lobby). If you want to "swim" - choose a different hotel. The pool area is great for people who want to go on a lazy river, do the wave pool, play with babies in the small pool, lay in the sun, etc., but there is no lap pool. They also arrange the chairs so close together that you can't get through them without going all the way to the end and every chair literally touches the others on either side. A few people (young and old!) had turned a couple of chairs in different rows sideways just to get to the pool, and one lifeguard was a real snot about it. If you want to rent an umbrella over your chair, $100. Just go with the cabana at that point for $250 instead. The rooms have no microwave or frig to store a late-night snack or keep a beverage cold, but the vodka in the filled and fully monetized frig was $90.00! and is weight-sensored so don't move it even if you're curious! HAHA! Ultimately, the hotel is beautiful, casino is nice, great restaurants, rooms very comfortable. Just be warned, it is very expensive and the only place you can sit is where you can spend more money!
