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!

Long registration lines, we were giving the wrong room, so had to start the registration process allover again. No complementary water or coffee, room coffe at $16 for 2 8oz cups. Pool umbrellas & 2 chairs at $250 per day. During our vacation week, our hotel hosted 2 major conferences, with hundreds of attendees adding to the crowded restaurants, elevators, and parking garage. The Mandalay has good pools, however, no enough umbrellas, and with temperatures over 100 degrees it was a torture to stay by the pool. One good thing about parking is that we were able to park at all MGM hotels at no extra cost. Overall, we did our best to have a great time. Read less

They had very comfortable pillows. Rooms are very nice and clean. Price was right as well. I highly recommend staying there the next time you are in Las Vegas.

The "control" the hotel had over the temperature in the room, annoyed the he** out of us.

The "control" the hotel had over the temperature in the room, annoyed the he** out of us. The thermostat in the room would allow you to change the temperature to your comfortability, however the temperature in the room stayed between 71° & 72° our entire stay. That control was OK during the day, but at night while people are sleeping should be within the guest control, it gets hot at night and some people's body temperature increases at night. I even went to the lobby to have them come check the A/C, the maintenance guy only came to change the filter. The temperature remained the same, at 71-72° our entire 3 days. Such a HOT disappointment. We assumed the hotel was trying to conserve energy since the temperatures was well over 100° all the days we were there. With the amount of money you spend staying here, from parking fees, refrigerator snacks prices and resort fees (that don't provide complimentary floats to guest, unless you rent a cabana; which are a ridiculous price of $350), changing the temperature of your PAID room should be up to the guest based off their comfortability. So no, I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. Read less

Terrible check out experience. Staff was extremely challenging to deal with when they were in the wrong and tried charging us for it.

The view was great. The pool was very inviting. However, should you want to refrigerate your doggie bags from all the fine you will do, be sure to request a fridge from the bell desk for $35 a night. But if you’re staying here, you can afford the $8 bottles of smart water. The house always wins~It’s Vegas baby! I just wish the free shuttles still… Read more
