| - A few weeks ago, my husband and I made the impulsive decision to spend Thanksgiving weekend in Vegas. I went up on line to Expedia (we had scored a great hotel deal in San Francisco through them a few months back) and found a package that included a 3-nights-for-the-price-of-2 deal at the Mandalay Bay. A few minutes later, we'd booked our stay here. We're very glad we did.
Our room, on the 31st floor, was very spacious. The king size bed was very comfortable as were the divan and chair/ottoman in the room. (I fell asleep on the former the first night.) The bathroom was huge with separate shower and (very deep) bath tub. The toilet had its own little room. Track lights under the bathroom vanity helped you make your way to that toilet at night. There were also some track lights that ran behind the headboard, creating a cool "low light" environment.
The staff at the hotel were all very friendly and helpful. The casino, which we did not use but had to pass through, was less smokey than most. Some have complained of this hotel's being too far from the heart of the Strip, but I kinda liked that. After spending hours traversing the nuttiness of the Strip, it was nice to come home to a place that was a bit quieter.
My helpful hint: Unless there is some kind of problem with your bill and you really need to check out in person, use the express check out on the room TV. I did and I was done checking out in about twenty seconds. When we made our way to the lobby and saw the huge lines at the check out desk, we knew we'd done good.
