| - OH, 4.5 SECKSY STARS!!
Very possibly one of the best poolside chill-out spots on the strip!
Just hawtness and cocoa butter ev-er-y-where!
The cost of admission is, of course, being a guest at Mandalay Bay; thankfully, with the IPC Tech conference in town/@Mandalay for the week, MN and SE were put up here for work.
As you pass through the amusement park-like turn-styles where they electronically check your room-key for validity, and once you collect a towel or two from an attendant, the area opens up into a spanning horizon of endless tanned and toned bodies. Shyness is not an option, apparently. (Actually, there is a fair amount of porcelain-skinned and not-so-fits *raises hand*, but the grrrrrr-yummies definitely draw your attention!)
The centerpiece of the scene is the wave pool, technologically producing modest swells that crash down with a soothing and familiar sound as sunbathers lay out on the beach-chairs or on towels sprawled out on the sand. Yes, sand. A course grained sand that actually brushes off fairly easily and, barring any *teeheehee*-playfulness, shouldn't easily find its way into places you'd rather not have it...
Along the perimeter, there are at least 4 other aquatic attractions - a lazy river and 3 other pools. Two of those smaller pools seemed very much patronized by the familial types; couples/grand-couples with children, etc.
Also to be found along the edges of the beach are a series of luxurious cabanas outfitted with televisions and whatnot, all of which must come at some astronomical premium, I'm sure.
Food and beverages are available via a large outdoor bar and adjacent concession stand, as well as upper-scale restaurants/bars that overlook the beach.
- Via the Bikini Bar, we ordered three (3) mojitos and a bucket-o-coronas (5, canned). The exorbitant-but-not-unexpected price? Sixty-eight dollars.
- Along those same lines, but far more satisfying were the $10 half-pound Kobe Cheeseburgers available from the snack stand.
- Cocktail service is also available on the beach, via waitresses (a la Baywatch, but with drink-trays instead of life-preservers).
So, do an extra workout, eschew carbs a bit to get them abs tight, rock your dopest poolside gear and bring yo'secksy-selves to Mandalay Beach...
(... but get there friggin' early and bring a credit card!)
