Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino offers a tranquil location on the southern Strip, appreciated by guests for its quietness, though some find it removed from central Vegas activities. The hotel's vibrant live music scene adds to the atmosphere, but concerns about noise and room conditions have been raised.
While the pool area receives accolades, the value is questioned due to high fees and costly amenities. Service quality and room cleanliness receive mixed reviews, with some guests facing issues in both areas.

Amazing mini family vacation! This review is geared towards parents with toddlers. If you’re worried about taking kids to Vegas, don’t be! We took both our toddler kids and Mandalay Bay is the perfect spot for families. Family friendly and has an amazing pool. I’ll start with the following:
MGM APP. We downloaded the app, super easy to use and convenient. Don’t waste your time at the front desk checking in, you can do that on the app and use your phone to unlock room door and parking. Each purchase you make is also uploaded quickly on the app so you can track all your purchases during your stay. You can check out with a breeze on it too. I don’t know why people don’t use this and avoid the long check in/out lines.
Pool: amazing pool! The wave/beach pool is for kids 48 inches and taller BUT to the left of that is a kiddie pool and the smaller waves go towards that side so you can just relax on the beach with your kids if they’re still under 48 inches. The lazy river is awesome. TIP – bring your own tubes as they do not rent them. They sell them for $30 each but you can bring in your own and they have an inflation station. If you don’t care for them, you’re allowed to go in without them but when it’s crowded, you might get bumped. The bigger pool is also nice, tons of families go there. I think the deepest was 4 feet. There’s another pool geared towards adults when you first walk in. FYI, a 32 oz Miami vice will run you about $30 but so good when it’s hot LOL.
Parking: $18 a night BUT you can park at any of the MGM hotels so it’s kind of nice if you don’t feel like walking strip but want to get closer to another hotel, just use the app to open gates at one of the MGM hotels.
Tram: It’s FREE! Kids loved this. It goes from Mandalay Bay to Luxor and then Excalibur and back every 10-15 minutes I believe. We hoped on it a few times to check out Luxor and Excalibur. I will say though, Mandalay Bay seemed to have “fresher” air inside. Luxor is nice but you could smell the cigarette smoke more for some reason. Maybe there was a lot more smokers at the hotel, not sure.
Room: Clean, big and has a huge bath tub the kids loved to go in there. They also have a walk in shower. We stayed in a 2 queen bedroom. Tons of room if you wanted to bring in a twin air mattress or cot for little ones.
We took kids to M&M World, Coca Cola Store which is right next to M&M. Hershey store, drove to the “welcome to fabulous las Vegas sign” which is just a couple of miles away from hotel. We walked around and took pics at New York, New York. Didn’t get a chance to check out the fountains at Bellagio or the free circus act at Circus Circus Hotel but we figured we’d do that next time.
Overall, amazing stay and won’t stay at any other hotel from now on. 2 nights went by quick and wish we stayed a 3rd because of pool. It was about 105 degrees (August) when we were there but didn’t feel like it in the pool.

The Mandalay Bay is beautiful and so large you can get your excercise in just walking it from side to side, though if you prefer something more intense the fitness center is a great option.
The conference center size doesnt disappoint and event signage is helpful for newcomers trying to get around.
We missed all of the pools being open but they looked wonderful. The size of the wave pool alone took my breath away.
Having dined at 4 of hotel restaurants I can say the best bang for your buck will be eating in the buffet and paying the day rate of $45. You get three meals that way for basically the price of one at the other establishments. While the servers are knowledgeable and polite the actual service was so slow that it bordered on being rude, at every location we patronized.
The casino is nice with many options and again, slow service. Our experience was that if we wanted a drink we needed to get it ourselves which takes away from the whole - if you're playing you drink for free. The shops were generally interesting and each more official bar that we visited (versus the ones in the casino) offered something unique but that was never water. No matter how many times we asked for it, no water ever came. We finally went to the hotel Starbucks to ask for cups of water (or you can buy the bottles in the markets). It happened so many times that we wondered if servers were instructed not to provide water for some reason.
Last, our room. We enjoyed a mountain view. And thankfully that was entertaining as the television didn't work once during our entire stay. Only about half of the outlets worked in the room and on our last day the lights in the bathroom stopped coming on at all. We also noticed the hotel provided toiletries (lotion, shampoo, etc.) Were for sale at just $.30 in one of the hotel stores. It seems fitting that the only free thing they offer (no refrigerator in your room unless you want to pay $40 for it) was so cheap.
We did the Shark Reef experience which was enjoyable with friendly and knowledgeable staff from start to finish. Getting out of our hotel to hit the strip for an evening highlighted the fun you can have elsewhere but the Bay is off the beaten path just a bit which we found desirable.
All in all, we had a nice time, but it wasnt because of where we stayed.

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveler reviews.
When we arrived, the place was having some repairs being done in the front entrance.
The checkin was very slow and a long line.
Our room was nice and facing the strip as per request. I had to hang the Do Not Disturb sign into the door knob because the cleaning lady always try to knock on our door early to clean.
Usually, when we travel outside of Las Vegas or abroad, the coffee machine comes with a choice of tea bags or coffee for free. Be aware that the only coffee you see in the room cost $12 per cup with 2 capsule of coffee in it.
Reminder: you can get coffee downstairs near the elevator for $4.99 for a cappuccino; or have breakfast downstairs where they will pour you a cup of coffee immediately and refillable for $4.99.
Reminder: Do not store anything inside the fridge. You will be charged $50.
Their escalators to the parking garage are always not working perfectly. Sometimes going up or coming down escalators need be climbed. Imagine if you had stone stuff to carry with you.

If staying at the Mandalay Bay resort, expect to bring an extra $50 to use the in room mini fridge or sacrifice your sink and fill it with ice every hour. Test your shower before getting in it to make sure it drains and is free of calcium build up. I didn’t spend almost $500 on the room for 2 nights to spoil a bunch of food and feel like needing a shower right after showering.

OK, the room was nice and the beds were really comfortable. Just really annoys me that there is a nice sized mini fridge in the room, but if you put anything in it you get fined $50, but hey they do have an ice bucket. This would be in addition to the $40+ resort fee for I'm not sure what. Beware if you pick anything up from the food tray in the room to look at it, you could be charged for it, as it is done on a weight basis. We were kind of afraid to use the in room soap or to take a shower as were afraid we might be charged extra for it. Staff were friendly and helpful. This place is huge and so easy to get lost in. Seriously, you could spend the night searching for your room. Next time will stay somewhere else.

Room cleaning is poorly cleaned Second day they forgot also to clean our room , then we had in the middle of the night an electric burn smell at like 1:30 am took them till 2:30 am to fix that and the burning smell so we didn’t get any sleep. We were on the 28 floor on Friday last night apparently there is a club couple of floors above us was loud music till 3:30 am we couldn’t rest at all. Casino everyone just losing money all over I wouldn’t gamble there! Staff wasn’t really friendly either. Plus the hotel is very far located on the beginning of the strip so u can’t just walk out and go anywhere The only thing that’s nice there is the beach pool that is it

The bathroom in the room on arrival was not cleaned and smelled of a urinal the toilet seat was sticky, they had a housekeeper come back and it did not resolve the issue. The thermostat did not work, I was freezing, used both blankets on one bed. The room service sent up cold pancakes and coffee in leaky cups, no napkins for $50. The housekeeping man came into the room at 8am while I was in my pjs (I am a woman, alone) and looked at me while I repeatedly said no, ,no, no I am checking out at 11, GET OUT OF MY ROOM. I stayed here 4 nights - they did not comp one night. It was horrible to smell urine for a day and a half, they gave me a $75 food credit and resort fee credit. Oh Yay! $300 a night. Go somewhere else. Each time I called they took my call as if I were a pain in their a** not a paying customer with a legitimate problem. I travel often and in my last 6 business/personal trips have not had one issue - this was the worst place I have stayed.

I stayed here for a convention in July for a week, and overall my experience was mostly exceptional. The service was very professional and helpful, from checking in to staff around the convention center. I appreciated that it is at the south end of the strip, so a little quieter and farther removed from the party scene. The lobby was very classy, and I enjoyed how the casino was not the first thing you walk into, but could be avoided if you were just going up to your room. You did have to walk through the casino to get to the convention center however. The elevator system was rather efficient, with three elevator banks going to different sets of floors. Our room was very spacious, with comfortable beds, and a lovely bathroom. We had a nice large window view overlooking the pool area on a high floor. There were plenty of restaurant choices in different parts of the hotel and convention center, including an Irish pub, the house of blues, an American style diner, a really fabulous Japanese sushi restaurant, and so many others. The pool area was a bit crowded, but the wave pool was a fun experience, and the lazy river was pleasant. Bring your own inner tubes if you are able, as they are quite expensive to buy or rent. The convention center was laid out logically and was easy to navigate, and the staff was always very efficient at set up and teardown. We did not have a chance to visit the shark reef aquarium, but it looked fun. There is also a free tram between this hotel and the Luxor and Excalibur hotels. There is a designated spot to pick up Uber and Lyft down on the lower level. Beware not to take anything out of your mini bar refrigerator, as you will absolutely be charged. Food is definitely not cheap here, but I suppose that’s common in Las Vegas. Overall, if visiting the city again, I would definitely choose this hotel for its more relaxing scene and professional atmosphere.

I was expecting a renovated room as seen & featured on booking websites but I got an old one. My room wasn’t filthy but I used my own disinfectant wipes to be extra safe & wiped every surface down for my family’s sake. I did however report a stained bedsheet, cracked sink & a bottled water someone drank out of. I guess housekeeping missed those things. Guest services was nice to offer a different room but we dealt with it. They said we weren’t going to be charged for things we didn’t use or cause damage to. FYI, the bottled water & coffee are not free. Also, the mini fridge has sensors so you’ll get charged if any of the drinks were removed. I recommend bringing your own hand/body soap as the complimentary soap is very drying & harsh on the skin. Put it this way, my hands felt like I had used sanitizer to cleanse them during my entire stay. During the pandemic, a lot of the restaurants, even Starbucks was closed. We ordered food at Citizens. Pricey like everything else, but good food. It’s a far walk to the food court but Subway is open 24/7. Overall, my experience was just ok.

I traveled to Las Vegas to celebrate my birthday with family and happened to open the mini fridge. I was curious to see what the hotel had to offer considering how overpriced all the drinks were. I wasn’t completely surprised with the fact that a tiny bottle of grey goose was $80, it’s Vegas what do you expect. Come to find out when looking at the bill while checking out that I was charged $65 for picking up the liquor and putting it back. After calling the front desk to resort the issue we were not treated like guest and seen as people who were lying about not touching the mini bar. Overall don’t touch the mini bar to prevent a worker from having to check the mini bar before taking it off the bill
