| - Drink all day, play all night, let's get it bumpin'! We're in Las Vegas, Trick!
So the wifey and I found some pretty sweet deals on flights and decided to hop over to Las Vegas to chill-lax. After spending a week trying to find the best deal, we decided on Mandalay Bay. We got the rooms for 150/night + 100 promotional food credits. We've seen better deals, but because of the Chinese New Year's festivities, it was the best we could find.
The casino was easy to navigate and rooms were pretty spacious, but I do have a couple minor rants.
1. My biggest complaint in the room are the doors. They auto-close, so if you're not nimble, you'll get smacked in face. Also, some people like to poop with the door open. I happen to enjoy my wife's company while going number too and I find it amusing to gross her out. It was a lot of effort to sit on the toilet and prop the door open with my leg.
2. Yes, this hotel is slightly older, but what's with the half-ass repairs? One of the things I noticed when I opened the curtain is the black tape around the windows to seal up the drafty windows.
4. I hate decorative pillows. What's the point? They're too scratchy to sleep on and I'm not going to be sitting in the room admiring them. After dumping them all on the floor, i was left with a wimpy pillow that barely fits my big head.
5. 28/night resort fee? Damn. If I read the fine print and realize there was a 28/night resort fee, I would have searched harder for a better deal. These fees are charged so I can use the wireless internet, plus have access to their 4 tread mills in the cardio room. Lame.
6. The casino was filled with older folks, so there weren't too many hoochie mamas running around where their butts hanging out. Big minus.
7. Their main attraction here is the shark tank, but they charge 18 bucks to get in. Personally, I think they should open this to the public and draw more people to the casino. That's just my monopoly 2 cents.
Overall, I thought this place was just average. There's nothing really exciting about this place and the atmosphere is really draining on the Vegas experience. I wanted to rock out with my cock out, but instead stayed in the room to watch Storage Wars on A&E.
A little about my credentials:
I just an average joe, that travels a lot for business and pleasure. I'm an Elite Premier member for United, Gold Member for Marriott, and Gold Member for Hilton Honors Reward. I usually book hotels in the range of 130-160/night depending on location, amenities, and the year the hotel was built/renovated. I'm a pretty reasonably easy person to cater and I don't have very high expectations out of anyone.
