This is a nice, lively place to eat between the Mandalay Bay and Luxor hotels. And to shop, of course, but I think Mandalay Place is best for the dining. The several great restaurants and bars cover a range of specialties and atmospheres/themes, and most are unique to Mandalay Place. The stores are good too -- covering the usual variety, mostly of clothes, art, and jewelry -- but most of these seem to be duplicates of those found elsewhere on the Strip; this means you don't need to come to this end of the Strip for your shopping if you're staying elsewhere -- or you don't need to make purchases here if you're staying closer to other shopping areas -- but eating here is worth it.
