Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino

Checking in was that worst part . Never staying at mandalay again .

Wonderful Hotel with luxurious design, very clean rooms and spaces, excellent staff all around, great customer service and a very smooth experience. Spacious gaming floors with varying occupancy levels but never feels overwhelmingly crowded and it’s never too noisy or claustrophobic like a few other hotels can feel, but the Mandalay has come down a bit in points in recent stays of mine by several reasons: Casino floor needs some changes moving moving more of the slots machines into that very awkward 3 way triangle layout which makes the casino look a lot messier in my opinion, but most importantly it makes it more difficult for people to naturally socialize with strangers which is meant to be a core part of Vegas itself. It’s annoying how some of those machines are absolutely massive and stick out very far. And you can’t see other people play or sit directly beside your group. I mostly enjoyed the selection of games, but where did all my Wheel of Fortune Cash Links go? :( Pools are pretty great but please add more natural shade for your guests as a courtesy, $400 is pretty scummy to get shade for your kids or your very old grandmother who may want to enjoy the sight of her grandchildren play in the pool. More people would use the pool, stay longer and pay for more food, drinks, & services, which would be a far more profitable and reputable decision and would be a negligible cost to do. All in all, Mandalay Bay is still my usual stay in Vegas with its ideal location as the gateway to the strip and proximity to the airport, the great value for their rooms, though it was heartbreaking to see The Delano name gone.

Everything in one package (except a microwave)

It was great fun to revisit Mandalay Bay again! We didn't stay here this time but we did go up to the Vinyl Room on the rooftop to enjoy dinner and listen to some really cool vinyl records. The Vegas view is spectacular up there! Really cool 70s vibe. My late husband and I were invited to Mandalay Bay's Grand Opening back on March 2, 1999. It was so impressive and elegant. We were given a beautiful suite with a great view. Service was very good. They spared no expense in building this beautiful hotel. We loved the Lazy River, what fun! It was amazing to see a beach in Vegas! I remember that the restaurants served good food. Warm memories from here, except not at the slots back then. Hopefully they are better now. I didn't play on this trip, maybe next trip.

Great place to stay! I would book again!
