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!

Horrible checkout experience with staff and the pools were way too crowded. My room was extremely nice and housekeeping went above and beyond while I was gone for the day. However, it stayed hot inside the room when the temperature was set to 65. I wouldn’t go back to this hotel as a guest for those specific reasons. I absolutely loved the mandalay bay spa though and would return as a guest there. The staff at the spa were also super kind and helpful. Read less

Worst check-in experience I’ve ever had at a Vegas casino. Girl at the front desk seemed like a manager or something. Got there early to check in because it’s wrestlemania. I understood it was going to be busy and they probably wouldn’t have a room ready, but just wanted to be on the list to get in our room before the event. Tried tipping $20. She rolled her eyes and outright refused. Told us we’d be called. We left our bags at bell service and left to go do things. No calls or texts about the room being ready and 2pm rolls around and I get hung up on when I try calling. I try after 4 and still not ready. I asked for a manager and then I’m told it is ready suddenly. We call bell desk and are told it’ll be a long wait to get our bags so we just go down and get them ourselves. Missed the opening ceremony due to the staff’s incompetence. Hotel is very far from basically everything and everything is very expensive. Games were broken in the casino as well and poor cocktail service. Vegas keeps raising their rates and offering a poorer and poorer experience then wonders why no one wants to go anymore. Other than that pool area is great, but desperately needs an adults only area. It was chilly and every hot tub was packed with a ton of kids. Rooms are decent so I gave it average, but train your staff better. MGM hotels usually have amazing front desk staff so this was a surprise. Read less

First time staying at this hotel. Got a very good deal online. Room is clean & quiet. Bed and pillows are comfy. The tram to Excalibur is very convenient. My only complaint is the pool doesn’t have shades. July in Vegas is HOT! No shades is a no no. Even though I put on a lot of sunscreen, I’m sure I got some sun damage.

My kid likes the pool there so I went with the flow. I didn’t try the restaurants cuz they don’t interest me. I had better food off the strip. Read less

Nice hotel but too far. Long lineups to check in. Issues with getting a room. Key card not properly working and had to wait 45 min in line to get a new key. Pool is nice but not very clean. Lack of cleaning staff.
