We took our trip over Memorial Day weekend last year. I have stayed at Mandalay Bay several times and I love it. We decided that we loved the look and feel of theHotel and wanted to stay during our next trip. I booked a suite, and they are located at the end of each hallway. The "panoramic view" is not panormaic at all. The windows are tiny and the views are disappointing. The room itself was clean and beautifully decorated but still small. the trendy decor is nothing more than putting lipstick on a pig. I wish I would have gotten a regular room in Mandalay Bay and saved my money on the expensive lacking suite.

arrived after 20 hours of travelling only to be told that someone had the suite we had paid for.
got a stamdard room ( which was nice) for the first night.
went to get our suite the next day only to be told that it was still occupied
and if we want another room - suite we would have to wait to check out the again to check in-----as if but that is what we had to do.Charging items to the room was a nightmare for the first 4 days as they had not entered details correctly on the computer thus making us look terrible at the bar etc.
If you want traquility because they say you have a beach at the hotel FORGET IT, music a big noise and at the weekend the Locals decend upon Vegas and GOD they love the sound that comes out there mouth,they would even talk to whoever they could just to hear themselves.
I have seen Vegas and will not return.
Vegas summed up--are you loud,to you eat until you pass out,do you think getting drunk and being loud is the perfect holiday to tell people when you get home the state you were in then if the answer is yae then book Vegas.

We stayed at the hotel for only two nights, ( I was at the Bellagio for the other 2 nights of my trip), but after experiencing "THE-HOTEL", I have to say that I was impressed with this hotel.
The lobby is impressive the staff was outstanding. It is right next to the mandalay bay which it is also really cool as the mandalay bay is also great....Did not get to experienced the pools but they looked astonishing from far away........Con's ...Not sure maybe, I asked for a late check out which was at 6pm and I was charged for half day......other than that....I am already booking my next stay at THE-Hotel...........You have to stop by Mix the view is amazing......

We stayed for 7 nights at THEhotel, booking a V Suite directly with their website using their Hot Summer Nights promotion. This was our third trip to Vegas.

Initially, we were given a truly appalling room on the 3rd floor - must be the worst room in the whole of Vegas! Was on a corridor of meetings rooms, so the whole place (inc room) smelt of stale coffee. The view consisted of the air conditioning unit, the car park and staff on their cigarette break - NOT good! The room was also REALLY dark - had to turn a light on to see anything.

We asked to be moved but the hotel was full that night apparently (was the Friday before Justin Timberlake so not surprised) but they offered to move us the next day - and they stayed true to their word, moving us up to the 27th floor.

Soooo much better - lighter, brighter, nicer all round! This room had floor to ceiling windows (unlike other room), and had a great view of the mountains from the living room, and a strip view from the bedroom. Honestly, it was SUCH a step change in quality, it felt like another hotel!

Previous posts have complained of bad service - we found the front desk staff to be very polite but not as friendly as those we encountered at the Palazzo and Signature. Staff in THEcafe were cool but efficient. Staff in the Bathouse Spa were nice but the spa attendants seemed a little disinterested. My massage therapist was excellent.

The walk to the pool took me about 10 mins, and in midweek mid-October, there were plenty of chairs available. Also, to get into the pool, every individual needed a room key, which a pool attendant would check and swipe before letting you in - so only guests can enter the pool area.

Previous posts also complained about a sewer smell - have to say that we did experience this. Not all the time - most of the time there was this lovely tropical coconut fragrance. But on occasion, the hallways proper honked of a blocked toilet - like that one in Trainspotting, bleurgh!

Also, lots of complaints about the location - have to say that it didn't bother us but then, this was our third trip so we'd seen plenty of the strip and knew our way around. Think for Vegas newbies, the location would be awkward. Also, THEhotel is very quiet - has a real boutique feel to it, which I really liked - nice to escape the madness of the casinos.

Bit of an epic - thanks for reading this far! Hope it helps you in making your hotel choices :o)
