We stayed at the Mandalay Bay and enjoyed the beach area more that the pools and cabana. Waste of $250 to rent the cabana. Our cabana was in between two other cabanas that had chain smokers for the entire day! The cabana on the left even had little kids but that didn't stop the adults within from smoking full blast ALL DAY. Mandalay Bay really needs a nonsmoking cabana section. We made sure not to rent another cabana since the smokers next door detracted from the leisure of lounging in front of it. The following days we just got to the pools at opening to stay in the wave pool for a couple hours per day.
