Well I chose to come here - for a fun, adult only trip with my husband. However, Mandalay bay is VERY kid friendly. THe pools were full of kiddos and you couldn't bring your drink in the wave pool ( you may spill it - HI, what else do you think is floating in this water?! ). The room was older, but still nice. Aside from the kiddos in the pool, another reason I would not stay here is the insulation of the rooms is horrible. You can hear the people in the room next to your room. Also the elevators are slow and crowded! The casino floor is nice, the restaurant choices are nice and it's easy to catch the tram or head over to Excaliber or Luxor.
