| - This is a 2 part Review based on the 2 very different types of stays that I have had at Mandalay Bay.
1. Girls weekend, in the summer. I could probably just stop there, but that wouldn't be much of a review. We got into Vegas late and ended up partying late, so by the time we crawled into bed, we were exhausted! However, that didn't stop Cecilia C. from popping out of bed like a freakin jack in the box, "WHAT THREAD COUNT ARE THESE SHEETS?!"
You would think that Mary C. and I would dismiss this absurd outburst and go to bed, but we are much better friends than that, so there we were at 2-4am (it's all kind of a blur) looking for the tag with the thread count. I really don't remember what the count was or if we ever found it, but I know that next time we stay at M.B, Cecilia is bringing her own sheets. For the record, the sheets are stiff, but I think if we would have given Cecilia one more shot before bed, she wouldn't have noticed.
The room otherwise was very nice. I loved the separate soaking tub and took advantage of it any chance I could.
Pool! We absolutely LOVED the beach area. We got up about 10 minutes before the beach opened and threw our suits on. We didn't intend on staying all day, but we sure did! We got front row seats to the wave pool and it was amazing. Very relaxing. We took a dip in the lazy river with our over priced tubes and drank our overpriced alcohol. Mary C. and I tried out the Ice bar later that night and had an interesting experience. If Rodrigo still works there and hasn't been picked up by the Circus, you should hang with him, he's a more than sufficient bartender.
2. Family Time: M.B is a great choice if you're toting some kids around. Why? Well, the kids LOVE the pool, beach, lazy river, aquarium and there are plenty of kid friendly eating options in the hotel. My kids think the room is amazing because they can watch cartoons while they take a bath.
My only complaint is that while I had my son (who is a toddler) in the shallow section of the pool, the lifeguard kept blowing his whistle insistently at this couple who were about 10 feet from us. They were having sex in the pool. Seriously, quit blowing your whistle and yell at them or something. I really think the hotel could have been sued for as many children that were around when that happened and the life guard let it go entirely too long.
So all in all I would recommend Mandalay Bay for girls weekend or family time, the staff is friendly, helpful and the hotel is clean...except for maybe the pool....
