| - Even though I have wandered thru virtually every casino hotel on the Strip (except for a few of the crappy ones no one cares about)..I only review the ones I actually stay at. So this trip was my first time staying at Mandalay Bay..I got comped 2 nights and I did like the looks of the place so I figured why not...even though it is ALL THE WAY at the southern end of the Strip. The room was decent, nice big bathroom with tub and shower, though I'm not quite sure why there was a window between the bathroom and entrance foyer...unless we got one of the Kinky Rooms or something, though I don't really get off on watching my fiancee on the toilet, so this whole window thing is still over my head.
We had a great view overlooking the entire pool area...and that is one big pool area...I think I counted six pools and a river....and a wonderful view of the mountains in the distance. everything looked beautiful lit up at night...one of the reasons I love coming to Vegas...a beautiful city of millions of lights plopped in the middle of the barren darkness of the Nevada desert.
The hotel is laid out very nicely, everything is clean and classy...wonderful choice of restaurants, good buffet, lots of bars and shopping, with an easy walk to the Luxor next door..and that's about the only easy walk, because if you wanna go to any other casino on the strip, you have a hike ahead of you, or an expensive cab ride...because those buses they have on the Strip...SUCK. I really enjoyed my stay here but what would keep me from going back for a few years is its inconvienent location, hence the 4 stars intead of 5.
