Mandalay Bay

The Strip, Las Vegas

Star 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!

We had a wonderful experience with the front lobby reception team, even after we had already checked out. Our 8 year old realized he had left his tooth fairy money under the pillow and was in tears. The staff were incredibly kind and compassionate they immediately moved us to the front of the line and helped us get back into the room quickly. Their understanding and quick action turned a stressful moment into one filled with gratitude. It’s that kind of service that truly makes a difference. Thank you again to the amazing team we’re so appreciative! Read less

I chose the Mandalay Bay resort for the base of operations for my 55th birthday. Best Decision, I could have made. Very Pleased.

I checked in early on the app with early check-in and arrived around noon. The app had shown since 9 am that my room was “getting ready,” and it still said the same when I got there. The staff told me to check in again at the kiosk, but that didn’t produce a room either. I then chatted with the online support team, who told me I already had an assigned room and would get a text shortly. After waiting another four hours, I tried to use chat again (to avoid the long in-person line), and this time they told me to call the front desk. Unfortunately, they gave me the wrong hotel number and I ended up calling MGM instead of Mandalay Bay. When I finally went to the actual front desk, the agent handed me my room in seconds—no apology, no explanation for the wasted time. The whole process made me feel like just a number, not a guest. The gym was also disappointing. It was very small, with no restrooms, no real variety of machines—just a couple of benches, barbells, dumbbells, and cardio equipment. It felt like an afterthought, crammed in just to say there was a gym, with no real care for the guest experience. On my last day, I removed the “Do Not Disturb” sign so the room could be refreshed, but no one ever came. At that point, I wasn’t even surprised. Overall, this was a bad experience. I don’t think I’ll ever stay at an MGM property again. Read less
