The old saying goes what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas but in this case what happened in Vegas goes on Yelp. I have been going to Vegas at least once a year for the past 7 years, 90% of the time I've stayed at the Wynn with one exception at SLS. This was first time staying at Mandalay Bay and as a parent misses their child on the first day of school
I longed for the Wynn Encore. Located on the north side of the strip it's an easy $15 cab ride from the airport. Upon our arrival the check in line was extremely long with literally two agents at the desk. After waiting for an hour to get to the desk we were told our room wasn't ready yet but it would be in an hour or so. No worries we were starving and found a great brunch place at the nearby Four Seasons hotel. The hotel was going to txt me when the room was ready. Brunch was over and still no text, ok I'll go see what's going on, only to find the line had manifested into a waiting line for the new Frozen ride at DISNEY World. I picked the gold members line and after another 20 min wait finally got to speak to someone about the issue. My room still wasn't ready so I upgraded to the Delano Suites for $30 extra. Worst Vegas hotel experience ever. The Delano is great but I will never be back to this location for anything. The entire hotel seemed to employ teenagers maybe in hopes of saving on the hourly salary. Not to mention I don't come to Vegas to be around kids and families. I guess this is the new family vacation yikes!!
I'll see you soon Vegas but Mandalay Bay I'm sorry I have to break up with you. It's wasn't even fun while it lasted.
