Stayed here for a long weekend in October and had a great time. We were staying with a group of friends, so I was happy with their choice of MB as our hotel. It's nice without being over the top, the decor is tasteful and it doesn't smell bad! I'm not a gambler, but did have fun playing at the $15 blackjack tables. I was more interested in their POOL and have separate reviews for those (Mandalay Bay Beach & Moorea Beach Club). Yes, MB is at the end of the Strip... but it's convenient that you can walk to Luxor and take the tram to Excalibur to make your way down the strip.
The rooms are much bigger than most hotel rooms. Our bathroom had dual sinks and a full size tub separate from the shower. Be careful with the mini bar since it's weight monitored = take something out & you might get charged for it! I liked our pool view and it was a great way to wake up. They have multiple Elevator Bays for levels 2-16, 17-34, etc. Be sure to push the door close button in elevators to save some time. Door key cards are magnetic, so be careful with your magnetic closures on wallets & purses. I forgot that my "travel" purse has a magnetic closure and had to get a new door card after mine stopped working.
Crazy long lines at Starbucks, so check out the Orchid Lounge for your morning coffee fix. Also my favorite (non-fancy) restaurant in Vegas is Burger Bar at Mandalay Place. You have to check it out. All in all, I was happy with my stay and I would definitely stay at MB again!
