Mandalay Bay is one of my favorite strip hotels because as a local, I appreciate the easy access getting in and out of the hotel. Gotta love the Frank Sinatra Blvd entrance :)
Whenever family or friends are in town and want to come down to the strip to hang out and do some quick gambling we head over to Mandalay Bay. I love how they have spruced up the center bar.
My husband and I have come to Mandalay Bay two years in a row for New Years Eve and enjoyed the atmosphere and the size of the crowd was not too crazy, so during NYE, this is a good place to be!
I had the pleasure of staying at the hotel for my bachelorette party in April of 2010. The room was pretty nice and the bathroom was huge! I think we had a suite, not just a standard room...hard to remember with all that alcohol in our systems. At 3:30 am when we stumbled in from a night of dancing in painful high-heels, the spa tub was perfect for soaking our feet and having a champagne night cap!
I highly recommend this hotel for tourists looking for a classy but not too expensive place to stay, and for locals who want to head over to the Boulevard but don't want to deal with driving on the strip :)
