Amazing views, amazing service and an amazing experience.
We went here for NYE 2011, and it was outrageous!! TheHotel at Mandalay Bay is a huge step up from regular Mandalay Bay. I really was disappointed with my experience there.
Anywho... the suites are gorgeous and lavish. With 1.5 bathrooms and the suite-style room, I definitely felt pampered. There were 6 of us who stayed in the one room and it didn't feel crowded whatsoever. The beds were ridiculously comfortable, as was the rest of the furniture. The housekeepers who came spent at least 1/2 an hour cleaning it, doing a very thorough job. We never had to wait very long when we called for towels or linens and they didn't linger implying they wanted a tip either. We pretty much had to yell at them to come back to retrieve the money that was in our outstretched palms.
The sandy pool area/wave pool thing was closed for the season but they had Moorea, an upscale pool lounge area, open with music and a bar. Several other hotels on the strip didn't have any of their pool areas open, so this was a huge plus considering it was in the 80s over New Year's weekend.
LOVED every minute of it, wish I could go back more often.
