Sure, it's at the end of the strip but Mandalay Bay remains one of my favorite hotels to stay at while in Vegas.
Rooms are always great with wonderful, comfy beds. I'm a fan of down blankets/pillows and theirs are deluxe.
And for some reason, I always seem to order room service when I stay here. I think it's because by the time we wake up from our "disco naps" we don't have much time to eat dinner before going out for the night. The food is always good--but you pay dearly for it.
And then there are the pools. I love the lazy river, the "beach", and cabanas.
It's the quintessential Vegas Hotel!
