Las Vegas · Hotel
Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino
Skip UnlessA once-exciting Vegas stay that now feels plain and purely transactional, with no special value or perks offered.
“This was my first time staying at Mandalay Bay since before the pandemic, and unfortunately, the hotel now feels quite plain and has lost its excitement and energy.”
Best for
- A convention stay specifically, if you have to attend something at their convention center
Skip if
- You want the energy/excitement of a proper Vegas stay, or any real loyalty recognition
Know before you go
- The room was fine but a typical luxury Vegas room with nothing that stands out
- No room upgrades or loyalty perks offered on this visit
- Everything is designed to charge you — weight-sensitive minibar, paid water and coffee
- Layout is exhausting to navigate, with a self-parking garage far from the main areas
- During winter, most of the famous pool complex (including the wave pool and sand beach) was closed
