I've been staying at this hotel for one reason or another off and on for about 10 years. I bounce between Mandalay , Palms , and Venetian. It's an older property but a really nice one.
Here's my rundown
GOOD 1: the valet is awesome. They're fast and professional. I've always used the valet here and never had as much as a scratch on my car or a dime missing from my change pocket.
GOOD 2: the rooms are nice and clean. They're average sized but setup well. Housekeeping does a great job "resetting" the room so it's always exactly the same and always clean.
GOOD 3: The casino is decent sized. It's not massive but it's not small either. The dealers are very friendly and helpful. Your luck is what it is so don't expect anything more than average payouts. Drink , relax , and have a good time.
GOOD 4: The pools are great. The all ages pool has a real beach and a lazy river for floating. The adult pool "Light Day Club" is really fun. We saw Krewella there twice.
BAD 1: There's only one club on the property and it's a little small.
Overall it's a great place to stay and the rates are reasonable. It's not as party party as some others but it's still fun just in a more mellow way.
