Stayed at a resort nearby and attended a conference. There were several conferences, so thousands of people, and thousands staying at other resorts requiring travel to the Mandalay Bay from different locations. The hotel actually CUT OFF taxi or other service to the Shark Reef entrance nearest to the conference room we were attending, so that only buses were allowed to drop off. Anyone coming from the far end of The Luxor for example, would have to walk over a mile to the center. If you were handicapped, have a hard time walking, or pressed for time, forget it. It's also an absolute madhouse there, practically a city in itself, and you are totally on your own and out of luck if you need assistance. I would recommend checking on conferences and activities before EVER booking at this facility, otherwise DO NOT go near here. It's a madhouse.
