Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino - Hotel Reviews from across the web
No title - expert review With an 11-acre pool area, a 30,000-square-foot spa, 2,400 slot machines, and 15 restaurants (including Border Grille and Wolfgang Puck's Trattoria del Lupo), Mandalay Bay gives little reason to venture to the rest of the Vegas strip. Families flock to the resort, taking advantage of the luxurious-y... eluxury.com
No title - expert review If James Bond were staying on the Strip, something tells us he'd book a suite here. Elaborate wet bars, giant 42-inch plasma TVs, plush carpeting, dark wooden desks, floor-to-ceiling windows, mirrored wardrobes at the foot of the most comfortable beds we've ever tried, and even a bowl of fake cherri... fodors.com
No title - expert review The main hotel is the more affordable and less fabulous lodging component of Mandalay Bay. That said, it's still a first-rate property with cavernous rooms, and prices do run pretty high. Bathrooms have understated, elegant stone floors and counters as well as deep soaking tubs with separate showers... fodors.com
No title - expert review In a separate tower from the rest of the Mandalay Bay complex, THEhotel is a resort within a resort intended to appeal to the younger end of the upscale crowd, people who want stylishness and luxury but aren't ready for the traditional feel of a Four Seasons. The decor is striking, especially in the... forbestraveler.com
No title - expert review Mandalay Bay is one of our favorite hotels. Why Well, we love that the lobby (impossibly high ceilings, calm, gleaming with marble, and housing a large aquarium), and the other public areas really do make this seem more like an actual resort hotel than just a Vegas version of one. You don't have to ... frommers.com
No title - expert review The rather silly nomenclature of this utterly fabulous Vegas accommodation reminds us of our previous consideration regarding the Four Seasons's relationship with Mandalay Bay (located on the top floors but operated as a separate entity) - it's part of the hotel but not precisely the hotel. In this ... frommers.com
No title - expert review A very modern contrast to its sister property, Mandalay Bay, THEhotel opened in December 2003 between the resort's theater and parking garage. The $250 million, 43-story, all-suite tower houses the lobby's smoke-free 24-hour cafe a billiards room, a Starbucks and the very trendy Mix restaurant, with... gayot.com
No title - expert review This resort feels like the kind of place Robinson Crusoe might have dreamed up on his return to civilization. Surrounded by 5,300 palm trees, it boasts an 11-acre tropical lagoon featuring a kid-friendly lazy river ride and an adult-oriented topless pool. Each island-themed, 500-square-foot room is ... gayot.com
No title - expert review THE hotel is the perfect compliment to our already impressive property at the Mandalay Bay Hotel.

Expensive But The Best - user review Although I stayed at THEHotel as part of a free promotion and although THEHotel may be out of my price range most times of the year, if you have the money and want to make an impression, I could not recommend this place more.

Over priced - user review For the price of the room I expected more. My room looked like it was used as a breakroom with trash in the trash can.

The only positive was the luck I ha... lasvegas.citysearch.com

We expected more - user review Great looking property. The beach at Mandalay Bay is a cool bonus, too. All the rooms are suites, and the decor is very hip.Rooms were clean, but not perfect water rings on the tables, and the tub took over an hour to drain.

A little disappointed - user review I have always wanted to stay here. Actually, I think you'd get better service at a Best Western. The service was HORRIBLE!

We had breakfas... lasvegas.citysearch.com
Service was less than favorable - user review I stayed at Mandalay Bay for a conference in Sept 05. The look of the hotel was amazing, but from the start, the service left alot to be desired.

I thought this was a 4 star resort/hotel. Very poor rooms - user review I thought this was a very high end hotel and was sadly disappointed. Rooms are standard at best.

Loved the nightlife & the pool - user review The nightlife was great and so was the pool. It's also an excellent place to get in a bet on a sporting event.

I expect a little banter, or at least a... lasvegas.citysearch.com
Not the best - user review The pool and "beach" are beautiful areas, but crammed with lounge chairs right on top of one another.

This place is ideal ... lasvegas.citysearch.com

Try the Spa........... - user review The Spa at Mandalay Bay was the best. It wasn't much more expensive then other spas I've been to and if you consider that enjoying a day at the spa will save you from losing your money at the slots, well then, it's not expensive at all.
