Mandalay Bay is a wonderful place to stay as long as you have loads of money to spend on food, drink and shade by the pools. Disappointed that there wasn't a coffee maker in the room and had to spend $14 every morning for three cups of regular coffee! The price of beer and mixed drinks was outrageous - $54 for three pina coladas with tip, and the lunches were a minimum of $25 per person. The food was very tasty though and quantity was generous. Was very disappointed in the service at our special meet the parents of the groom dinner at Lupo's - the bill came to $800 for nine people (average $75 per person except for two who had pizza) with a couple bottles of wine and two mixed drinks! The pools were great except when it was 115 degrees and tree shade was minimal - unbrellas $100 and each chair underneath $100! So, bring your pocketbook and enjoy!
