Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino

Nice rooms, crowded beach 9/14/2007

by toothfairy at Citysearch Provided by Citysearch

Our trip was cut short so we only stayed one night- a Wednesday. The room was really nice- clean, hip, big bathtub (i'm gonna bring bubble bath next time)- only drawback, it was an adjoining room so the noise was bothersome. Definitely make sure it's not adjoining next time. The pools were amazing but we were disappointed that one of the pools was closed, one you had to be a 4 Seasons member to use and the Beach was very crowded (on a Wednesday, I can't imagine the weekend) with the cheapy beach chairs crammed right next to each other. Be sure that if you want to go to the Mix lounge at the top of the Hotel to have proper attire- my boyfriend was too casual and they didn't let us up. Also, it says ""family-friendly"" but they had strict policy on allowing kids under a certain height in the wave pool- which was fine by us as we weren't looking for that type of atmosphere. Pros: nice pools, airy (non smoky) casino, newly remodeled hip rooms Cons: far end of strip, lackluster service, no cheap food options more

Bad treatment by staff 6/4/2007

by down4us at Citysearch Provided by Citysearch

I stayed for a wedding and my birthday it was a special occasion. The service I received was horriable, in fact, it took me over an hour to get a drink in the pool area and when it arrived the wait staff refused to charge it to my room saying the drink had already been entered into the register. She was rude and made it clear that she didn't like black people. I complained on the spot ant followed it up with a letter days before I left the hotel and got no response. \r \r Its a wonderful property with good resturants but they make it clear that black people are not respected or wanted. If you're black be prepared for attitude! more

The absolute most sure bet you will make in Vegas 6/3/2007

This place is amazing. \r 1.It has the best hotel rooms which are modern and cool: They have a sort of ""W"" feel. \r 2.They have the best casino: I am not one for gambling, but there was no other place (including the Wynn)that I went to that felt as airy and nice to be in. \r 3.They have an awesom pool: It is a huge expanse of water with so much to do for families or party goers. 4. It is worth the walk: Yes I know it's at the end of the strip, but trust me, the only reason for this is because they wanted to save the best for last.\r 5. It is very reasonably priced: Forget the Bellagio with it's tacky decore, Mandalay Bay is hip and trendy. Pros: The chic hotel rooms Cons: It's a far walk from the center of the strip more

Decent Italian Food 4/3/2007

by traveltj at Citysearch Provided by Citysearch

My husband and I were able to get in on a Saturday night without a reservation. We were seated immediately. But it was 9:30pm. They bring a basket of different breads with a head of roasted garlic and olive oil and vinegar for dipping. The bread is excellent. I usually try and stay away from eating bread before dinner but I couldn't stop myself and we had 2 baskets!\r My husband ordered the chicken soup to start and lasagne for the entre'. He was crazy for the soup. He said the broth was very fresh and flavorful. The lasagne came in it baking dish and was what lasagne is supposed to be, HOT and cheesy and saucy but in good proportion. It is a large portion and my husband could not finish it.\r I had the green salad. For a green salad I thought it was excellent. It was a spring mix with red onion but the dressing was delcious! It was a balsamic with feta cheese sprinkled in. I loved it! I ordered the pizza margherita and it was just ok. I am considered a pizza expert so I think I can explain it properly. The crust was a little dry. It was thin and crispy like it should be just tasted dry. Their was barely any sauce so maybe that is why it was so dry. The cheese was fine but NO basil!\r All in all we had a good experience. The service is very good. I would eat here again. Pros: The bread Cons: The pizza could be better for a Wolfgang Puck pizza more

Wonderful Food 3/30/2007

by auxfraises at Citysearch Provided by Citysearch

Wow. We were in Mandalay waiting for a flight and it was still early so we were able to get a table at 6pm. My wife had the mamamia prefixe while I chose the prefixe with 3 choices ($79). For the mamamia my wife chose: salad, salmon, and it comes with the chocoholics delight. I ordered foie gras, the filet mignon, and the grand marnier souffle. The salmon was fresh, tender, and cooked perfectly throughout. The chocolate desserts were excellent. My foie gras was just right and the filet mignon was absolutely perfectly cooked medium rare and tasted wonderful. As for the souffle - very enjoyable. Overall, our meal was excellent for the price and the service was very good. Pros: Wonderful Food, Good Service more

Simply put.......TERRIBLE 3/14/2007

by lawrelm1 at Citysearch Provided by Citysearch

I?m not sure if Shanghai Lilly has taken a severe turn for the worse or what, but I could not disagree more with most of the other positive reviews on this restaurant. Four of us went to Shanghai Lilly over the weekend on our first trip to Las Vegas. The menu seemed appealing to all, and really seemed right up our alley. \r \r We started with the appetizer sampler which was actually pretty good, but unfortunately turned out to be the highlight of the meal. Regarding entrees, we ordered Mongolian Beef, General Tso?s Chicken, Honey Chicken, and a Kung Pao Chicken. All 3 of the chicken dishes were simply put?awful. The sauces seemed decent, but the chicken meat itself was just off. One comment at the table was, ?this could very well be a Chicken McNugget?. The Mongolian Beef wasn?t terrible, but certainly wasn?t good. We all also paired brown rice with each of our entrees. Once the check arrived, it was to our dismay that the brown rice was not included with the entree?!?! What Chinese restaurant doesn?t include rice with their entrees??!! This was the capper! \r \r With all the options to dine in Las Vegas, I must admit that in my opinion, you should steer WELL CLEAR of Shanghai Lilly. Pros: Service was good, nice ambience inside Cons: Food quality, no rice with entree, didn't ask for liquor brand for gin and tonic more

Pleasantly surprised 2/15/2007

by sumo3175 at Citysearch Provided by Citysearch

My first french experience and pleasantly surprised. The service is impeccable and the portions were perfect however the temperature of the dishes were a little on the cold side. I give them the benefit of the doubt since they probably had everything prepped ahead of time since it was a set course meal all night. The presentation was beautiful too. Its definitely a nice experience and would like to go back and dine from the regular menu.\r Pros: Service Cons: Cost more

Nice Small Aquarium 11/21/2006

by 15bigones at Citysearch Provided by Citysearch

A good diversion when in Vegas, especially on hot summer days. The setting is very nice, and the small aquarium will not wear you out. A nice display of sharks and other marine life. A good place for families, which is becoming more rare in Vegas. Pros: Small, Easy to Cover, Good Display Cons: Not a complete marine environment, and selection is limited. more

This is a great club. Besides the topless part which is great. Its $50 for men so they are few. No kids which is worth the 50 in itself. Great service and its not over crowded. Each time I have been the women have been hot and not shy. Of course there have been exceptions to both. Pros: no kids, topless Cons: $$ more
