| - I always caution my ratings on Yelp to make sure that I'm not doing anything insanely against the grain (so as not to disturb the status quo, as it were... especially since I'm only a rookie!), but I find myself having to respectfully disagree with most of the reviewers here regarding RWB at Mandalay Bay. I'll be honest with you -- the only thing that drove my best friend and me here was the horridly long wait at Burger Bar, with whose outstanding reputation we were impressed long before we arrived in Sin City. However, the wait was over an hour and we had a Spice Girls concert to catch (reserve commentary please!).
This being the Mandalay of all Bays, we automatically expected the prices to be relatively outlandish. We considered going to Red Square or other more gimmicky food joints in the vicinity, but after drinking and gambling most of the day all we really needed was filling for our stomachs. And what outstanding filling RWB turned out to be!
Our servers were extremely kind and generous. Our waters were refilled to capacity just when they needed to be -- not too much hovering, but not too much waiting either. My best friend and I split a fish bowl drink -- 64 oz. of fiiiiinely mixed Sin City Iced Tea. Instead of appetizers, we focused on this heaven-sent concoction. Then we each ordered burgers -- she chose a cheeseburger, and I opted for the bleu & shrooms... TO DIE FOR!
Anyway, to keep the long wind down in this review, I just want to say that we were pleased overall with the quality of service, cleanliness, food, speed, and general experience. Sure it WAS a bit pricey for what it was, but all things considered, we had a great time there. Can't go wrong with the fish bowl, if you're willing to dish out the money for it!
