| - I didn't expect much from THE Hotel after having a mediocre stay at the Mandalay Bay a few years back, but what a pleasant surprise. For starters, let me clarify that it is attached to the Mandalay Bay so you have access to the casino and what not, but THE Hotel is an entirely different property.
When you pull up, you are dropped off in the shade of a parking garage. That is the entrance of the property. Normally, I would say that this is not a good design, but in Las Vegas where the Strip has terrible traffic and the valet can be crowded or in the sun, this may be preferred. It is tucked away in the back of the property, providing quick access to the freeway or the Strip.
Once inside, the style of the property is very modern and sleek. While we were waiting to get checked-in, we were looking at the massive piece of art behind the front desk. It took a while to figure it out, but there is a hidden theme that you need to uncover.
The suites are very modern and comfortable. With a small living room, powder bath, and large master bedroom and bathroom, there is more than enough space for two people to be very comfortable. Flat screen televisions and all of the amenities you would expect are included. The room service was delivered quickly and was good.
The only real negative, in my opinion, is being at the furthest end of the Strip. If you like to wander around on foot and explore the entire time, this is not an ideal location. If you don't mind using taxis or limos, you are sure to be pleased with the bang for the buck that you receive at this hotel.
