Mandalay Bay where do I start with you. I enjoyed your lavish rooms and flawless amenities. The dice tables were extra nice to me, but the blackjack, slots and every other game you can think of were extra mean!
I want to give this hotel a good ranking.... I just can't. The pool situation was like some sick combination of 1930's Ellis Island and the Japanese Internment camps.
Lets start out with a little background. Went to Vegas for my sisters 21st birthday. My extended family and friends always join in on a trip to Vegas. Probably had about 30-35 people there for the festivities. The majority of these people are a bit older and cant handle being out in the heat all day. They needed a cabana.
My pops and I tired to reserve a cabana when we checked in (mind you we had 5 rooms reserved under the same name, you would think they could hook us up). No dice; can't reserve a cabana, you need to go wait in line to get one tomorrow morning.
My dad woke up at the ass crack of dawn to grab a cabana; he was the first in line. After 100+ people lined up for a cabana a man walked out of the reservation office and said. "We have 2-3 cabanas left to purchase; they start at $450, then $650 and $750. Chairs can be reserved for $75 and the umbrellas are $50". I couldn't believe my ears! Where do they get off making people wait in line spend almost a g-note on a cabana only to spend $100s on drinks and food! The casinos must be hurting because they are trying to make all their cash at the pool!
Mandalay Bay where do you get off!
