Mandalay Bay

The Strip, Las Vegas

Virgin rating

The hotel

Everywhere you turn there are awesome spectacles to behold in this exotic wonderland, including the amazing 1.6 million-gallon aquarium known as Shark Reef, world-class nightlife, and top class cuisine makes an appearance in Kumi Japanese Restaurant. More highlights include the whopping five swimming pools, lazy river ride, and a wave pool with a sandy beach, all of which give you a welcome relief in that midday Vegas sun. The fully air-conditioned Casino on the Beach is accessible in your swimwear too, even the dealers wear casual beach outfits! All in all, Mandalay Bay is not so much a hotel as a big, beautiful resort city with everything you need right on property!

My Mandalay experience was great alI the way around except for the HouseKeeping phone system. I called housekeeping 10times from my room phone.

My Mandalay experience was great alI the way around except for the HouseKeeping phone system. I called housekeeping 10times from my room phone. After pressing the buttons for housekeeping you are now forever listening to the wait music. I waited over 30 mins before giving up I just left the room with the wait music/message still on. I called again when I came back with the same results. I did this on and off with no luck no answer. It was quite frustrating really.  The housekeeping staff  and service is good just no one answers that line. On the other hand the Bell desk scan system is simple & efficient but the staff are a bit short and not very welcoming or friendly. Also depending on what activities you have planned the Mandalay location might not be the most convenient. They do have the best pools on the strip. We did go to Sebreeze Cafe, House of Blues and theShark Reef while we were there. Seabreeze has great ambiance food could be better. House of Blues have great ambience staff and food was fantastic. Shark Reef simply is not worth the price. It is like going to the the Bellagio's Conservatory and paying $29 to get in ( I know Bellagio's Conservatory is FREE, exactly my point) Please DO NOT waste your money. NOT worth a dime to go. There is a tram from the Mandalay to Luxor to Excalibur that made the location bearable but barely. I might not complain so much if the Market in the Lobby does not charge exorbitant prices.    Read less

Recommend selecting this hotel for your next Vegas trip. Would stay here again on our next stay. Only minor issue that it is at the end of the strip so a cab was taken often due to the extreme heat during the summer.

We love staying here but we just had a little bit of a situation. Had a few staples sticking up from carpet going from room to bathroom. Both my husband and I got stuck by them ended up putting towel down so we were able to walk.

First room they sent me too had not been cleaned yet. So they moved me to lower floor with no view and a tiny window. It takes them about 10 min to answer the phone minimum. They not once apologized or showed any empathy. The just said they had just got to work so it wasn't their fault. Not at all solution oriented. The pool which is the reason I… Read more
First room they sent me too had not been cleaned yet. So they moved me to lower floor with no view and a tiny window. It takes them about 10 min to answer the phone minimum. They not once apologized or showed any empathy. The just said they had just got to work so it wasn't their fault. Not at all solution oriented. The pool which is the reason I stayed closed at 7pm. Kinda early when it's still over 100 degrees. The room they transferred me too has an adjoining suite. There is a very loud family in there slamming doors and banging on doors and talking way too loud. You can hear everything like when the neighboring rooms flush toilets or shower. $500 a night room to deal with all of this. Dint stay here. Palazzo has a much more attentive staff. Read less
