Please share with us your thoughts on Mandalay Bay: Love it, Hate it or just Accept it? Looking at it separately from the rest of Las Vegas it seems like it should be a perennial top 3-5 resort but it rarely shows up there in people favorite hotel lists.

I love Mandalay Bay. Obviously the biggest drawback is its location. If you could move MB to where Cromwell is, it would be a top 7 resort. Great breakdown though! 🍻

But, we stayed at the Luxor while the convention was going on. The pools look really nice. Skyfall is really cool, and just amazing views. We love the Luxor Vibe.

Your video covers Mandalay Bay perfectly, both the pros and cons! I’ve always thought their base rooms are very good, better than Bellagio and Aria. The large windows bring a good amount of light in, giving a true relaxing resort feeling. I also appreciate the large variety of dining options. You explain the major downsides (location and casino) accurately. Nothing can be done about the location, and the tram to Excalibur definitely helps. Normally I like a casino that doesn’t have slot machines tightly packed together, but with Mandalay Bay there are too few machines and way too much open space. Your complaint about the slot selection is dead on, and it doesn’t help that the closest neighboring casino (Luxor) is also not a favorite of mine. One plus to the location: while there is few convenience store options close by, there is a Smith’s grocery store about 4 miles south on Las Vegas Boulevard. A quick drive to stock up on supplies, plus they do have online options for ordering, including delivery! Another benefit is you are close to the Town Square open air shopping center, which has a large movie theater complex, tons of shopping and dining, plus a Whole Foods. If you don’t want to drive or walk, the Deuce bus goes down that way. To me, Mandalay Bay caters primarily to conventions, families, concert/sports attendees and people who want to avoid the noise, crowds and traffic of the center Strip. If I had the option of a solo trip I would definitely stay here and just take the tram over to Excalibur and play at their neighboring casinos most of the time. As it is, you make Mandalay Bay look very tempting right now!

You guys are spot on. Completely underrated property and great value for the price for sure - rooms are outstanding. Location is the big drawback of course, but if you have plans for a concert or football game or show or anything on that side of the strip then it's perfect - Rideshare gets you anywhere else. We haven't stayed there in a couple years or so, but are staying at Delano next weekend and looking forward to the brunch at Border Grill! I believe the temperature will be about 600 degrees - give or take.

Mandalay Bay is a great place to target for a show or meal. The pools look great but you need to stay there to use them. Overall, I would stay there only as a restful stay and Uber up the Strip for entertainment. On a personal note, we experienced a hit and run damaging our car south bound on the I15 a few years ago. When they refused to pull over, I tailed the all the way to LasVegas Blvd while talking to the highway patrol. They converged on the driver right into that gas station you suggested for beverages. They swarmed with 5 cars.👏👏👏. We were told to beware in Vegas that drivers always run.

That is the "new" poker room at MB. The old poker room used to be by the sportsbook but they moved it to this "temporary" space. They have cash games and tournaments but the room is not 24/7. There's one day a week it's not open at all, and I believe the other days it closes at 3 or 4am. If you're looking to play a lot of poker this would not be a good place for you as the next closest poker room is at MGM Grand.

I agree that Mandalay Bay is under-rated. Yes, it is at the south end of the strip but now that Im older (in my 60's) I actually prefer that it is relatively quiet. I no longer care to be in the hustle and bustle of the center strip. There is a lot of walking, so may not be a good choice for anyone with mobility issues. . I also agree with your thoughts on the rooms. The standard room is by far the nicest of all the strip hotels I've stayed at. Love the huge bathroom. I like that the casino is busy but not overcrowded. Machines are spaced out so you have plenty of room. My opinion is biased because i won a jackpot on my last visit.

Stayed there last month. One great PRO you didn't mention is the on-site aquarium, very well done and stocked for a hotel. Other than that there were several CON's for me: > The long, long walk from parking to registration. > The casino is smokier than most high-end properties. Air is very stale. > The walls in the rooms seem to be paper-thin. Had a hard time sleeping because of the neighbors. > We paid for a "view" room, which is marred by a tint film on the windows. The pictures don't come out right.

I've never stayed at Mandalay, but I like the spacious casino floor and the rooms 👌. Two reasons, 1) It's so far away from my favorite area, center strip. And not much around that area to walk to quickly. 2)Not a high level with MGM like I am with Caesar's. Even though I get comp offers, I would still have to pay for resort fees 😢. Uhhh...nope! 😆 Mayyyyyybe one day 😉. I also just have to say you 2 are such a "delightful" and down to earth couple. I don't really use "delightful" in my day to day life, but that's the word that comes to mind.

Only positive was I made it 3/4 to Platinum. There was a volleyball tournament and it was too packed. Lastly, on $575 Free Play and $460 Point Play, not one Bonus on Buffalo Ascension.

We are here at Delano now. Sunny and 110 degrees. Walked around the pool area looking for a place with a little shade. Very disappointed that a resort in the desert has an extremely limited number of loungers with access to an umbrella or some shade, unless you fork over $600 or more dollars. In this kind of heat, shade is important. It felt like a new way to money grab. Our room is great, but for us, there are a few misses.... very dark hallways, not as friendly as other properties, not the greatest signage for a large casino. We paid for early check in, because we were moving resorts. At 1pm the app said they were still preparing our room. Our previous resort gave us a comp late check out at 1, so we headed down to see if the room was ready despite what the app showed. Since the room wasn't ready early, I asked if they could comp us a late checkout for our trouble. She said yes, but half hour later, I got a CC notification for $100, so I'm expecting to have to talk to someone about this at checkout. It was after 2 when we finally got our room.

@@ajpope2010 Are you sure about the bigger gym being free to all guests? I have read you need to pay like $30 a day to use it.

@olehanssen4342 Ya thats what I thought too as information on the internet suggests that which I think the reason for that is the way it used to be several years ago. I just went in November 2023 and used it for the first time and NOPE its FREE. I even asked just to make sure. Used it all 3 mornings we were there.

@@ajpope2010 Awesome, thanks!

I stayed there a couple of weeks ago. My big takeaways- the pool is too cold for my taste and it is like a 35 minute walk if you need to hit CVS for any reason. That aside I loved it. Room was nice and it had a lot of great food options either in it or between it and the Luxor.
