Mandalay Bay

The Strip, Las Vegas

Virgin rating

The hotel

Everywhere you turn there are awesome spectacles to behold in this exotic wonderland, including the amazing 1.6 million-gallon aquarium known as Shark Reef, world-class nightlife, and top class cuisine makes an appearance in Kumi Japanese Restaurant. More highlights include the whopping five swimming pools, lazy river ride, and a wave pool with a sandy beach, all of which give you a welcome relief in that midday Vegas sun. The fully air-conditioned Casino on the Beach is accessible in your swimwear too, even the dealers wear casual beach outfits! All in all, Mandalay Bay is not so much a hotel as a big, beautiful resort city with everything you need right on property!

Our review would be a 5, except they were unable to honor our request for 2 adjoining rooms. Then when we upgraded to 1 suite ,which cost much more per night, they charged us for 2 resort fees per night ☹️. Not trying to make us happy guests. Nixon at the front desk tried hard.

This is our second visit to this hotel. And again we had a lovely time here. The rooms are spacious with large bathroom and walk in shower.

We did not use the fridge or coffee machine in the room though we did use it to heat up water so we could make a cup of tea in the mornings with our own tea bags. The best bit of our stay was the swimming pools and lazy river, just the thing for a very hot day before hitting the strip in the evenings. We used Uber for all our taxi's, very cheap and quick. There is a resort fee of $41 per room per day. Read less

Sep 16, 2024 dmwcali Burlingame, California

Cost of stay was much too high given how far away from most of the action this hotel is. Check in was a disaster with very long lines and few people to help. Hard to get in lobby doors with luggage and nobody to help open doors. Room safe was "locked" in open position so couldn't use. Crease in room rug we constantly tripped over (in both rooms).… Read more
Cost of stay was much too high given how far away from most of the action this hotel is. Check in was a disaster with very long lines and few people to help. Hard to get in lobby doors with luggage and nobody to help open doors. Room safe was "locked" in open position so couldn't use. Crease in room rug we constantly tripped over (in both rooms). Not enough places to hang wet towels. No coffee or water in rooms and bottle of water from mini bar was $25! Not sure why we paid a $40 per day resort fee when you can't even have a cup of coffee in your room. They have a keurig coffee maker but no pods. And be warned, to use the lazy river you have to either bring your own tube or buy ones for $35. Nowhere does it mention this on the website, and again, what is the $40 resort fee for? There are no umbrellas available unless you book the special sections which are outrageously expensive - way more than any other resort I've ever been to. Enjoyed a great trip to Vegas, but will never stay at this hotel again as it is way too pricey and majorly lacking in service/amenities. Read less

Two thumbs down. I will never stay at this property ever again. Marriott should know how they're treating their Lifetime Titanium Elite members. I've easily spent over $500,000 with Marriott over the years and yet that doesn’t seem to matter. I'm here for a conference and have been waiting for an early check-in for over four hours.

Two thumbs down. I will never stay at this property ever again. Marriott should know how they're treating their Lifetime Titanium Elite members. I've easily spent over $500,000 with Marriott over the years and yet that doesn’t seem to matter. I'm here for a conference and have been waiting for an early check-in for over four hours. The indifference of the staff is shocking. If a room isn't available that's fine, but no effort is being made to get me in a room sooner rather than later. I'm told getting me in a room is a function of how quickly housekeeping cleans rooms. Housekeeping has been cleaning rooms all morning and I'm still waiting. This is absolutely unbelievable!!

For over a $1000 for 3 night stay I would expect more courteous staff (both hotel and casino), room service daily, and all the amenities like the pool, exercise, internet to be in the regular room rate instead of tacked on as resort fees after the fact. they got us coming and going and everything in between.

For over a $1000 for 3 night stay I would expect more courteous staff (both hotel and casino), room service daily, and all the amenities like the pool, exercise, internet to be in the regular room rate instead of tacked on as resort fees after the fact. they got us coming and going and everything in between. Perhaps that is Las Vegas or perhaps I am not the target guest profile (I'm not a high roller nor do I really enjoy spending over $300/night for a mediocre hotel). It's a good thing there are many other places to choose from. The checkin/checkout staff was not very customer service oriented. The pool wait staff were super busy. And the lifeguards seemed super unengaged. In fact, we saw a guy dive into the 'shallow' pool right under the lifeguard's chair but nothing was said to the guy. One thing I really liked was the ability to walk across the bridge to get to Allegiant Stadium for events. Read less
