Mandalay Bay is one of my top favorite hotels on the strip. It is close to the airport, which is great when I have visitors, it has probably the easiest access on the strip. \n\nThe rooms are great and you can usually get great deals online. They always have great concerts going on and in the summer they have concerts out at the pool which is like a beach. They have stuff for the kiddos to do like the Shark Reef. \n\nThe restaurants are straight up awesome! My favorite restaurant at Mandalay Bay is Red Square. I love all of the Vodka and just the Russian feel. \n\nThe service in this hotel is always on point. Everyone is helpful and it is also very easy to get around. it is a big hotel but you do not feel like you are lost in space.\n\nOh and it smells nice in there. It does not smell of old nasty smokes, even though it is an old casino for Vegas standards.
