“Sophisticated Resort, Dusty Room”

THEhotel at Mandalay Bay

4 of 5 stars
Charleston, SC
Oct 28, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

We stayed at The Hotel for 3 nights in October 2008, and despite some issues with the room, we had a great time at the resort. This is my second time staying at The Hotel (first was in May 2007). This most recent stay, we definitely noticed a lot more wear and tear in the room - upon arrival we had a very dusty room that clearly hadn't been cleaned or used in a while. The desk chair was broken as well as the door under the sink. We felt that the hotel service was so/so when we arrived (bell service took over an hour & we were forced to wait in our room to receive the bags). We would recommend that travelers skip the bell service so they are not stuck waiting in their room - they will not leave the bags if you're not there. All of these issues were resolved though & we enjoyed our stay.

On the whole, we loved the apartment feel of the room & the separate living room & extra bathroom. The bathroom is luxury all the way & there are three TVs in the room (bathroom, bedroom & living room). We liked the living room, especially to meet up w/ friends before going out.

We absolutely loved Mandalay Bay itself. Everyone was so friendly & the service, despite the small issues above, was excellent. In terms of gambling, the casino is very nice & the hotel attracts more of a sophisticated crowd in their late 20s/early 30s and up. You will not find the "fratastic" element here. The sports book is very cool as well. And, of course, we are hooked on Starbucks & loved that there was one in the hotel.

As for shopping, go to Caesars - there's just not much at Mandalay. Also skip the House of Blues for breakfast - not that great. We liked the 24 hour restaurant for basic lunches & late night snacks - great variety & good service.

The pool has recently been redone & it definitely felt like I was walking into an amusement park/Wally World - checking in through the turnstiles, food court, etc. We rented a cabana & thought it was worth it, especially for the shade & the TV. We were in the West Lagoon area though, which was definitely not the place to be - exceptionally tame. I would recommend getting a cabana either in East Lagoon or by the Beach - much more people watching & fun.

The conceirge service was excellent - you should use them to book all of your reservations. They saved us a lot of hassle & made our trip much better.

All in, we give The Hotel a B+.

“Dont Stay Here They Rob You”

THEhotel at Mandalay Bay

Oct 27, 2008
4/6 found this review helpful

our hotel room was broken into while we were sleeping and our purses and wallets were stollen!!! When we contacted security they acted as though they could care less. They also even tried to say it was our fault! They claim they have no camera's in the hallways, how can that be at a hotel like this? They have cameras everywhere! I even gave them the time frame when we got in the room till when we woke up that they could check. Later that morning we found the purses behind a vending machine, with all the cash removed. The wallets were not found. There was also someones elses wallet behind the vending machine, but not our party. Apparently another room was also robbed!!!! The hotel has yet to even say sorry let alone give us any compensation of any kind. Regardless of the cash and watch that were stolen you pay for some sort of security in a hotel and there was absolutly none in this hotel. We could have been beaten, knifed, shot, who knows. I will never stay there again and everyone should be aware that they have a theft problem and are doing NOTHING about it.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“Lovely hotel”

THEhotel at Mandalay Bay

4 of 5 stars
Kent, UK
Oct 27, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

THEHotel was a comfortable hotel but we felt a bit out on a limb. Although the free monorail goes down to Excalibur it just felt a bit to far off the Strip. The room we had was brilliant, large and clean but the lighting within was poor and we felt like we wanted to get out into daylight to see some daylight. It's also great that the hotel is no smoking and the parking is free. I couldn't fault the place at all but I personally wouldn't go back for the above reasons. If you are going drop them an email before you go and request a room on a high floor facing the strip if possible....you'll get a great view.

“Best Bachelorette Party”

THEhotel at Mandalay Bay

5 of 5 stars
Boston, MA
Oct 26, 2008
1/3 found this review helpful

A group of my girlfriends and I all took our first trip to Vegas for our friend's bachelorette party last summer and it was amazing! We stayed at theHOTEL at Mandalay Bay in a suite. It was the perfect size for the 5 of us, plenty of bathroom space, and a big living room area to pregame in. The amenities of Mandalay Bay were right downstairs as well, the best being the pool. We spent our two days at Club Moorea - a wild, daytime pool party. We had a blast sunning oursleves, dancing, drinking cocktails and watching as absolute debauchery unfolded - our reaction: Only in Vegas!

Overall, this is a hotel that caters to young people - it seemed like there were groups of guys and girls in their early twenties all over the place. If you're looking for a great time with your friends, I highly recommend Mandalay Bay!

    • Disliked — Nothing really - its on the end of the strip so you'll have to take cabs everywhere at night

“Great trip to Vegas!”

THEhotel at Mandalay Bay

5 of 5 stars
New Jersey
Oct 26, 2008

I've been to Vegas several times before, but this was my first stay at The Hotel/Mandaly Bay. The entire stay was a great experience. The suite was well appointed and clean and the stafff was very friendly and accommodating. The pool complex is great and there are many great restaurants to choose from. We ate at The Cafe, Aureole and Border Grill which were all very good to excellent. The one exception was the buffet which we went to for Sunday brunch. The service was good but frankly, the food was bad. I would definitely stay here again.
