Mandalay Bay Resort

Las Vegas, NV, USA
$120-350/ natt

Boka detta om You want the best pool complex in Vegas and don't mind being a $15 Uber ride away from the center Strip action.

Varför människor älskar det

  • The 11-acre 'Mandalay Beach' with real sand, a wave pool, and lazy river
  • Direct access to the Shark Reef Aquarium (great for families)
  • Spacious standard rooms (550 sq ft) that feel larger than average Strip digs

Snabb Överblick: A massive, slightly isolated tropical mega-resort that forces you to commit to its ecosystem—but the pool makes it worth the captivity.

Recenserat av @itineranteelegance: I stayed in this suite and it was the perfect escape from the casino noise. Sipping water in my robe while watching the Luxor beam from my window felt like pure VIP treatment. The separate tub was a lifesaver for my feet. Totally worth the upgrade.

The hype

Travelers universally worship the pool and praise the room size, but hate the long check-in lines and distance from the Strip's center.

Reality check

Thin connecting doors in standard rooms are a major noise complaint—you will hear your neighbor's TV and conversations.

  • You are a pool person who wants a beach vibe in the desert
  • You are attending a conference at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center
  • You are traveling with kids who need aquarium/pool entertainment

Renlighet & Underhåll

8.5
  • Housekeeping: Generally reliable daily service, though some reports of dust on top of headboards/furniture.
  • Bathroom hygiene: Bathrooms are a strong point—clean grout, soaking tubs are usually spotless.
  • Maintenance: Standard rooms are showing minor age (scuffed furniture), but major systems (AC/plumbing) are solid.
  • Linens & towels: Towels are standard hotel grade—clean but not plush. Bedding is crisp.
  • Odors & scents: Lobby has a heavy tropical/coconut signature scent. Casino has the typical faint smoke smell, but ventilation is good.

  • The free tram connects you to Luxor and Excalibur, saving you a hot walk.

FAQ & Dolda tips

Allt du verkligen vill veta innan du bokar.

Is the pool open year-round?

Yes, but with caveats. The main wave pool and lazy river often close or have reduced hours Nov-Feb; usually at least one heated pool remains open.

Can I bring my own tube for the lazy river?

No. You must purchase their specific tube on-site. It's a known revenue grab.

Is there a coffee maker in the room?

Generally no. Standard rooms do not have coffee makers. You'll need to go to Starbucks or bring a travel kettle.

How much is the hold on my credit card?

Expect a hold of $100-$150 per night for incidentals on top of the room rate.

Is it pet friendly?

Yes, but expensive. $100-$150 per night per dog, plus tax. There is a designated relief area.

Does the room have a fridge?

It has a minibar full of sensors. Do NOT use it for your own items or you will be charged. Personal fridges are not standard.

Insider-tips

  • ✨

    Use the 'Delano' entrance for rideshare pickup/dropoff—it's often less chaotic and a shorter walk to the elevators than the main Mandalay rideshare dungeon.

  • ✨

    The Foundation Room on the 63rd floor often has free entry for hotel guests during early evening hours—best view of the Strip, hands down.

  • ✨

    Walk the 'Mandalay Place' bridge to Luxor for cheaper food options like Slice of Vegas or Ri Ra Irish Pub.

5 saker du bör veta innan du åker

  • 💡The 'resort fee' gym is a tiny cardio room; the nice weight room is hidden in the spa and costs ~$30/day extra.

  • 💡The walk from the parking garage to your room can take 15-20 minutes.

  • 💡The toilet flush is aggressively loud—like 'airplane toilet' loud.

  • 💡You can smell the coconut scent pumped into the lobby on your clothes hours later.

  • 💡The wave pool waves are actually strong enough to knock you over; it's not a gentle bobbing experience.
