Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino

Mandalay Bay was exactly as we expected - big, bright, stylish & well appointed casiono. Rooms were very big either overlooking the airport & pools or the Las Vegas Strip. So many different food & dining choices from simple like Subway to expensive like 5 star restaurants. 15min walk to Allegiant Stadium, 15min walk to Excalibur & Luxor (or take the free monorail). Check-in was simple. Staff all polite. Really enjoyed our stay.

I did not get my connecting room reservation in the wellness suites and things went down hill from there. I did the pre check in so i could just use the self directed kiosk to get my two connecting room keys and found out that they had only checked me into one of the connecting rooms. How do you miss that when checking someone in? it's all in the reservation. I had issues with check in, valet, housekeeping, room was not clean and we only asked them to clean the rooms one day out of the 7 we were there and they did not clean the floors or change the sheets on the bed. There was an odor in the room and I left smelling like that odor. Just seems like they don't think they all have to collectively pay attention to the details at this hotel. i don't think I would choose to stay there again.

Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, Las Vegas Mandalay Bay is exactly what you expect from a big Strip resort — flashy, expansive, and dripping in Vegas energy. The rooms are genuinely large and well-appointed, the beds comfortable, and all the amenities you'd want are present and accounted for. The casino floor delivers that classic over-the-top spectacle that Las Vegas does better than anywhere in the world. The Catch: Everything comes at a price — and that price is steep. Then steeper again. A drink, a snack, parking, a resort fee, a bottle of water — it all adds up at a pace that would make your eyes water. This isn't unique to Mandalay Bay, but even by Strip standards it's noticeable. You'll need to budget generously just to exist here comfortably. If you're splashing out for a big Vegas experience and cost isn't a concern, Mandalay Bay delivers the goods. But if you're watching your spend, the inflated pricing on virtually everything can take the shine off an otherwise impressive property. Great resort — just go in with your eyes open and your wallet well padded.

Just returned from a five night stay at the Mandalay bay was a little concerned about some of the reviews that have been posted recently but was in for a surprise. We arrived at nearly midnight and there was a slight wait for check in approximately another six groups but check in was quick straight up to the room which was on the 13th floor overlooking the airport. Nice large room with plenty of space. The bed was extremely comfy ended up sleeping through till done 1000 which is completely abnormal for me. Quick trip to downtown strip to return the hire car. Found the deuce bus and came back via the deuce bus. Spent whole day in the mndalay and still didn't get to see it all. It really is bigger than it looks. Amazing food in the Mexican with great service.

Joined my husband here for his business trip. We had a 2-night stay booked through "The Edit" by Chase Sapphire Reserve. Upon arrival at the hotel lobby at 2pm, we were greeted by a long line at the check-in desk that spun around the lobby a number of times. We waited about 1hr 5minutes to be checked in. This is hardly a luxury experience after our 5-hr flight and 3-hr delay at our departure airport. No one walked around offering complimentary water or assuring us that they are doing everything they can to expedite the check-in. Zero interest. I counted 20 check-in desks, but only 4 were staffed during their peak Friday afternoon check-in time. There were numerous self check-in kiosks available, but no one was using them. I figured I'd remain on the line while my husband gave it a shot. The MGM Resorts self check-in was unable to check us in due to our reservation not being found. Strange, as I was looking at my confirmation e-mail right there. You can try to find your reservation by your last name and check-in/check-out dates, or your confirmation number. None of them worked. The $50 daily "resort fee" seemed like thievery, given that all of their pools were closed for the winter season with the exception of one small pool, where every guest seemed to congregate. We were not able to find a single chair to sit in. People had towels spread across the concrete pathways and the whole scene was reminiscent of some third world country where no one has ever been to a pool before. We left after a few minutes. Overall, I would not recommend this "resort" under any circumstances.
