| - I really loved staying here. My boyfriend booked this hotel for our 6th year anniversary! I knew this hotel would definitely live up to my expectations! We came here during the weekend of spring break so I thought it would take us forever to check in. I was wrong! The check in was fast, efficient and easy! We went up to our room on the 24th floor and the room number was our our anniversary date (how did this even happen? loved it!) This hotel is truly amazing - it's clean, decorative and wonderful!
You also get a free drink ticket at check in - but it's only for wells, domestic beer/wine.
We also got the room which with the view of the pools. I'm pretty sure Mandalay Bay has the BEST pool on the strip!
The bathrooms were super clean and the bed was very comfy. Besides the bed, there was also several couches, huge closet, and numerous drawers to put your clothes in! There's also a little safe box to put your belongings in. It's fairly tiny, your laptop wouldn't fit in there! There's a huge TV in the bedroom and mini tv in the bathroom.
Some mornings, we stayed in so we would put "relaxing" on the door knob. And the maids do pay attention and they will not knock or come into the room to clean. Unlike other hotels, even if you leave a little bit later in the day to go on the strip - they still make time to come in and clean the room!
We needed extra soap bars, so we called the service desk. We requested a soap bar and they were at our door within 15 minutes. Super sweet customer service!
One star off because they seriously stuff the fridge to the point where you're unable to put anything in there! We bought some vitamin water/fruit to put inside the fridge and pulled several beverages out. We were going to put back the beverages inside the fridge on the last day. Well, the maids decided to charge us for all the beverages we pulled out even though we didn't even drink any of it! And they also took our food out and replaced the beverages. I was beyond pissed about this one. Anyway, we told the check out rep. that those charges were invalid since we never drank any of those beverages. The rep was civil about it and voided the charges.
FYI: There is a $20 resort fee for each day you stay here.
But besides that, I really enjoyed my stay here!
The casino is kind of dead. It's very family oriented, so I rather gamble further up the strip.
Also, I think there's only ONE cafe that's open 24hrs for food unlike the hotels on the mid-strip. I wish they had a lot more restaurants open for those who are hungry at 2AM!
Also, it's pretty much the last hotel on the south strip. It's far from everything but it isn't really Mandalay Beach's fault. So if you stay here, be prepare to take the tram/bus.
As much as I loved staying here, I think the next time I visit Vegas, I will try to find a hotel much closer to the mid strip.
Also, they have LION KING playing here! :D
