| - I stay at the Mandalay Bay once a year for a trade show that I attend. There are several newer hotels in Las Vegas, BUT, Mandalay Bay still represents well. The property is huge, and very well kept. I've never taken my kids to Las Vegas, but this hotel would be on my list for consideration - clean and does not have the 'element' I'd want to shelter them from.
Aside from having several great restaurants, they have several pools and great activities for kids. They have a lazy river, and a pool which kicks out waves every minute, or something like that. During the summer they have a fun concert series pool side, which I've attended, they usually bring in groups that you have heard of, and the admission fee is like $30.
The room rate was $185 for my trade show, and they have an additional $25 resort fee, which includes internet and the gym fee. The actual rooms are plenty big, with a big bathroom and two sinks. The rooms also have two televisions, including one in the bathroom. Being that I stay here for work, I appreciate that they have a desk and good internet service. My biggest con, every trip, is the check-in line; it takes between 15-30+ minutes. For adults looking to have a good time, the property also has a few clubs, and numerous watering holes.
For those looking to gamble, the casino is HUGE, and the sports book is one of the best in Vegas. If you are overwhelmed by drink prices, the sports book is a reasonable place to sink a few drinks and watch your favorite team
I always look back at my Mandalay Bay stay with a smile
