Hotel reviews: Mandalay Bay Las Vegas, NV

The beautiful Mandalay Bay hotel and casino is located at the Northern end of the Las Vegas strip and is as impressive on the inside as it is on its exterior. Just by visiting the resort’s web site, it becomes instantly known that the hotel and casino caters to several specific target audiences, which all have associations of escapism and luxury in common. They target to the connoseiurs who come to Vegas to explore the exotic and exclusive cousine, wine and liquor selections. They also aim to please the escapists who come to relax and unwind, be it at a spa or by the pool. Mandalay Bay also targets to the avid game players, since it is, after all, the capital city of gambling and, therefore, they offer a wide variety of games to throw some money on, from blackjack tables, to craps, to the slot machines that litter the casino floor.

Even if they stay for as long as a week or more, they will keep on discovering new places to go and things to see, without ever having to leave Mandalay Bay. The rooms are exquisite and, depending on the time of year, very affordable. The room prices can start at 120 dollars and go as high as the sky for suites, but no matter the budget, all the visitors are made feel like VIPs as soon as they enter their rooms. The rooms are very clean and get thoroughly cleaned every day, unless there is a “Do Not Disturb” or “Recuperating” tag hanging on a hotel door. Basic rooms feature flat screen TVs in the bedrooms and in the bathrooms, a bathtub as well as a glass-door shower cabin, fully-stocked mini bar and tray that offers everything from booze to disposable cameras to condoms and a spectacular view of the city from their floor-to-ceiling windows.

After unpacking and settling in their rooms, visitors usually head downstairs to explore the casino area that features many dining options, catering to the most fickle of tastes. To start, Shanghai Lilly offers a great selection of Cantonese cuisine, though they stop serving food at 10:45, which
