Mandalay Bay Resort And Casino

“Babygirl’s 7th Bday Celebration”

My Kids loved the Mandalay Beach, wave pool, and lazy river. Michael Jackson Cirque Soleil was a hit as well. The aquarium provided a chill fun experience right before our departure. Close proximity to other landmarks was very convenient

I was torn between rating this resort as Average or Very Good. Overall, the resort offers almost everything you need for a comfortable stay. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, the pools are excellent, the restaurants are good, and the casino provides plenty of entertainment. There is also live music in the lobby and ample parking, which adds to the experience. Two things kept me from giving it an excellent rating. First, the fitness facilities were disappointing. The resort advertises a "cardio center," but it is essentially a very small room with limited equipment. If you want access to the larger gym with proper weight and exercise machines, you have to pay an additional fee. Personally, I found that frustrating since guests are already paying a resort fee. Charging extra for access to a full gym felt excessive. Second, the location is still a drawback. Being at the far south end of the Strip makes it less convenient than many other resorts. That said, I can see this improving in the future as the new baseball stadium and additional development in the area bring more activity and attractions nearby. Despite those criticisms, I had a good stay and would consider returning. The resort delivers good value overall, but there is still room for improvement.

This is our 3rd time staying at Mandalay Bay, this time with our teenager. Check in and check out was fast and could. Nor have been any easier. You can check in online days earlier than your arrival and get notified when your room is ready. You use the QR code sent to your phone to program your room key and you’re all set. You can program up to seven keys. We did not have to wait in any line or seek help from any staff during our stay so I can’t speak of the quality of customer service. The room was clean and bed was comfortable. Separate bath and shower with instant hot water and good water pressure, dual sinks, view of Allegiant Stadium, no fridge, no microwave, no robes. Don’t touch any of the refreshments as they are all censored and will be charged to your room if any movement is detected. Our teen was over joyed to see there was a beach and lazy river on the property. There is also a wave pool which gets very crowded but still fun if you’re just looking for a dip in the water. It is definitely tailored to attract families as kids are everywhere which means if you’re looking for a quiet get away, this probably isn’t the place you’ll be happiest with. There are a few Starbucks locations on the property, all of which were always busy in the morning, but no more than what you would expect. Lots of restaurants and 24 hour room service. Everything is, of course, expensive but you have to go to Vegas planning to spend money anyway. A small mall of shops, nothing impressive or must see, especially when there are the shops at Venetian, Bellagio, and the mall so close by to go to. We actually came to Vegas for a concert at Allegiant Stadium and the fact that you can walk there from the hotel worked out well for us. The tram to Excalibur and Luxor is convenient to get to the Strip but since Mandalay Bay is at the end, there is a lot of walking if you want to explore. I believe you can catch other trams along the way to get you down to the Forum Shops or near the Bellagio. But still, expect a ton of walking. We ended up taking taxis which averaged $15-$25 to/from the middle of the Strip. Since we were with our child, one of the features we liked about Mandalay Bay was that it is located on the Strip but away from the partying and adult energy you find at the other centrally located resorts. Would definitely recommend Mandalay Bay if you’re traveling with children or have an event at Allegiant Stadium.
