“THE Hotel with THE Kids, A Family Adventure in Vegas”

2/4 found this review helpful

Stayed at THE Hotel for 5 days, 4 nights M-F for a conference. Upon arrival, staff was friendly and helpful getting us situated in the room. Located on the 18th floor on the NE tower, we enjoyed a view of the Luxor and McCarran Airfield. Room was large and spacious, I did however have to dial house keeping due to dirty linens (balls of matted hair and the like), a lovely and efficient member of housekeeping was up with in 1/2 an hour, even turned down the beds for us. (NOTE if you are calling housekeeping, be sure to turn your don not disturb sign off and the housekeeping one ON.) Once kids were in bed, I organized our snack area. In the living room they do provide a "wet bar" with 2 regular glasses, 2 wine glasses, an ice bucket, and a tray of "snacks".... expensive snacks. we filled our ice bucket and used it to keep beverages cold (we brought a small container of milk that stayed cold and was a nice treat for breakfast.) Bedroom & Living room areas featured floor to ceiling windows, dimming lights and blackout curtains.
Each morning, the kids enjoyed the enormous bath along with their favorite PBS or NICK friends (tv in the bath, as well as a phone and digital scale). bath samples included body balm, shampoo, cond, bath salts, shoe polish, shower cap, mending kit, bath soap and hand soap. The extra half bath was a plus. Dining:
Never ate at THE Hotel.

Luxor food court (accessible by following the Mandalay Place walkway and turning L towards Starbucks... we had McDonald's there. There is also several others Nathan's Hot Dogs, and a smoothie place I believe)

Excalibur buffet was average. Carving Station, Mexican, Asian, Fruits, Desserts, Salad. One night my kids had the dolphin..
Food court included McD's Krispy Kream, Quiznos, and a Chinese place (good by my standard) on the other side of the buffet away from the main area.

Food Court located next to MGM (North) has Wendy's Subway & various others.

Activities:
Monorail baby. Kids grooved that thing..Free (Train 1 stops at LUXOR , Train 2 is express to Excalibur.)

Excalibur: arcade on lower level you pay to play.

NYNY Roller coaster: something like $14 a person, my kids were content to sit in the food court there and watch it go by.

Rain forest cafe @ MGM lots of toys to tinker with, aquarium, animated animals, food (a bit pricey)

Lion Habitat @ MGM Lions switch out from 3:30 -4:30 other wise I believe it's a 9a-9p deal. You can walk through the gift shop via a tunnel THROUGH the habitat. Trainers play with and encourage activity. I think we went there every day. Cost: free.

M&M Store: North of MGM 10 min walk maybe. 4 floors of melt in your mouth goodness. Floor 3 has a walk through "production factory", and movie. LOTS of stuff to buy. Cost: Free.

Tidbit:
If you need drinks, meds, toiletries , there is a Walgreens just up and past the M&M store. Go during the day. As all the local color and "adult entertainment vendors" are passing out advertisements when dark. ALSO there may be folks on the walkways asking for handouts, just so you're not surprised.

With a little planning and creativity, the kids will never notice the : "sin" of "Sin City"! =0)

“One of the best....”

THEhotel at Mandalay Bay

Nov 15, 2008
2/2 found this review helpful

I previously worked in the travel industry for 10 years and was a little worried about earlier reviews on The Hotel.

I have to say that this is one of the best hotels I have stayed at, everything from Check-in to Check-out was excellent. I arrived at check in, on a Saturday afternoon and was greeted with a nice smell of a sweet fragrance that seemed to fill the whole of the lobby. I gave my details to the receptionist who went away and checked that the room was clean and ready to use, after a few minutes he came back to confirm all was ok. very smooth,

Room was on the ninth floor and was a corner suite. key worked first time (it can be annoying when you are some many floors up and the key hasn't been activated). Opened the door to be plesantly surprised by the size of the room. Our room contained a separate lounge and bedroom with a good size bathroom.
The views were brilliant as from the bedroom you could see various hotels on the strip and the mountains from the other and the lounge had a view of the airport and the Mandalay bay.

The maids came in and cleaned the room every day, left fresh towels daily and maids always greeted you everytime you passed them in the corridors.

The hotel doesn't have a casino linked to the hotel but a short walk through to the Mandalay bay and there is all the gambling tables and sports books you need.

The Hotel is located at the end of the strip next to the Mandalay Bay and the luxor, it can be a bit of walk down to the strip but it was nice to see a little sunlight and walk off the breakfast belly. you can also get a tram from the Mandalay bay down to the strip.

If you stay at this hotel, you need to take a vist to the mix lounge on the 64th floor. The views are amazing and worth the extra few dollars on the drinks.

All in all I would recommend this hotel to anyone as I was in las vegas for a friends wedding and there was about 10 people that stayed in the hotel and no-one could find any complaints.

I hope this helps

“loved the room and pool”

THEhotel at Mandalay Bay

Nov 15, 2008

We stayed for four nights Nov.7-11th for a surprise 40th for my husband. It was awesome, the service, rooms and pool all awesome. The south strip is so easy to get around. You can take a tram free to Excalaper and over the street you are at NY NY. We had a rental car as well, and valet is free at every hotel. I highly recommend this hotel. I got it for $170 a night on priceline. I bid for it. The weekend I went the rate was over $400 a night. So it was a great rate.

“THEHotel...not "All That" but pretty good”

THEhotel at Mandalay Bay

Nov 13, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

We stayed at THEHotel to celebrate a friend's birthday, along with a large number of friends. Prior to arriving we had heard terrible first-hand reports and tried to change our reservations to the Four Seasons, but as the party was at THEMix we didn't feel like having to stagger the extra feet over to the FS. Glad we stayed.

Service was excellent. We were treated well on every level, from the valet, front desk, spa and housekeeping to the servers and manager at THEMix. Our suite was spotless and well-kept, though the rooms were quite small with the exception of the bathroom. We noticed only a bit of extra noise through the walls, most of it arguing from the couple next door. We had late checkout (4 pm) and free breakfast through AmEx as well as a spa credit.

Service at THEMix was good, even for our large group, and the food was tasty and well-prepared. View was wonderful from the lounge area. Played a bit at the mandalay casino but not enough to notice. We did get rooked by one of the taxi drivers - our trip out from the airport was $22, trip back was $6. Oh well.

I'd stay here again, but only if not doing anything on the Strip.

“Perfection”

TheHotel is wonderful. The suites are impeccable, spacious and very tastefully decorated. The massive full bathroom is the perfect size for more than one person to get ready for a night out. Although the pool area is extremely crowded it's great for people watching and oddly relaxing. We went to the rooftop bar/club, Mix, on a Wednesday night and it was pretty empty. Fortunately the bartenders brought us free drinks and we were able to snag a table outside -- by far the best views of the Strip. I've only been to Vegas this one time but I can't imagine staying anywhere else if I do go back.

  • This TripAdvisor Member:
    • Liked — Large suites, awesome pool
    • Disliked — A little far from the rest of the action on the Strip
