| - I love the Mandalay Bay. It is my favorite hotel on the strip as far as location, casino for gambling, foods, shows, and amenities.
The casino is huge and seems to be more well ventilated than a lot of the others in Las Vegas - it's smokey to be sure but it's not so thick I feel like I can chew it.
There are tons and tons of places you can eat here - a Noodle Bar, the Buffet, Lupo which is a Wolfgang Puck restaurant, an Asian-inspired restaurant, a steak house, a Cafe that serves healthy to-go sandwiches, donuts, and salads, and tons more. If you walk to the aquarium there is a large food-court and there are many other food options there. You can also walk from the Mandalay Bay to the Luxor directly through the shops at Mandalay where they also have more food and some shopping!
The Michael Jackson ONE show is hosted here at this hotel and it's in a beautifully redecorated theater. Mandalay also has a House of Rock I think - I've never been and so have only seen the outside - and some very nice gift shops that serve snacks and some essentials if you need them.
The top 5 floors of this hotel are the Four Seasons Hotel (where we stayed on our last trip) and it's beautiful and connects nicely to the Mandalay Bay in hidden ways most people would probably never notice unless they utilized them - you can walk around the corner from the main Mandalay Bay guest check-in to get to a hallway and stairs that lead down to the Four Seasons - which has it's own entrance.
I haven't used the pool at Mandalay - it's always been crazy crowded - but it's cool and large and has a lazy river (which I think you have to bring your own inner tube to or buy one there as they aren't provided) and a wave pool that looks awesome except for the 10,000 other people that are always in it.
The casino has all the best and updated games as well as the typical hard-core gambling tables like Black Jack and Roulette. I played Bejeweled nearly the entire time on a penny slot and ended up walking away with $1400 when I only started with $200! Win!
Mandalay Bay is really close to the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign - about 10 minutes straight walk or a 3 minute cab ride. It's further down the strip past all the main hotels and a major intersection - there aren't so many cool things down by it aside from Luxor next door so most people don't venture down that far meaning it's quiet and not as crowded by any means - which is heaven if you spend the day on the main part of the strip and want to get away from the mass.
It's our go-to place to stay.
