Travel News The Mandalay is the newest acquisition by the MGM Mirage Group Las Vegas

That’s right—7.9 billion dollars! The Mandalay is the newest acquisition by the MGM Mirage Group, owners of half the properties on the Strip.

Q:What does this mean to you?
A: Being treated like a million dollars simply comes standard.

Vacations can demand lots of exploring time off-property. Mandalay Bay solves that issue, consciously constructed to be the ultimate vacation experience. All things desired to deliver a sated stray from home are found on one property. Las Vegas has been reinvented. Welcome to destination Mandalay Bay!

Mandalay Bay shines among Sin City’s competition for more reasons than this sky-scraping hotel’s precious-metal-tinted windows, a 43-story golden treasure visible to and defining the hopes of every passenger in a window seat landing at the airport. Imagine this: three hotels, 16 restaurants, 7 pools on 11 lagoon acres, Broadway venues, world-class spas, live music, hot dance clubs, professional sporting events, top concert entertainment, and its own unique retail shopping plaza (containing another 45 shops and restaurants!) set on 60 lush acres!

Mandalay’s Towers rise tall, providing a stay where the casino welcomes you to and from your room. About 3,300 rooms and suites opened their doors in 1999. THE hotelis the latest in sophisticated service and boutique atmosphere. All 1,100 rooms are suites. A stand-alone tower connected to the main hotel by easy indoor access provides its own restaurants, lounges, and clubs. The Four Seasons affords access to the amenities of Mandalay. It is complete with a private pool and building exclusively for its discriminating guests.

This is gamblers’ paradise. Slots sing seductive siren's songs, beckoning us to depart with our dollars or fund the fantasy of the ever-elusive progressive jackpot. Choruses of cheers float to the ceiling from the craps tables while the snap of crisp cards on blackjack tables create a symphony hall effect in 135,000 square feet of casino. Mind your obsessions or let them go wild, depending on what you can afford.

From the famousHouse of Blues and The Gospel Brunch; to Chef Hubert Keller’s San Francisco French culinary extravaganza, Fleur de Lys; to the tropically Cajun and Caribbean fare of Rum Jungle, doubling as one of the hottest dance clubs in town; and to Broadway’s Mama Mia musical and the host of live bands playing throughout the various club venues in the casino, boredom is illegal.


Quick Tips/Suggestions:

Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino at 3950 Las Vegas Blvd. S. in Las Vegas, Nevada 89119
877/632-7800

On the Monorail, a ticket is needed for each ride. A single ride is $3 from your boarding point to your chosen disembarking point. The tickets are conveniently sold at the stations, and there are discounted values available.

$10 Unlimited Day Pass - This is good for exactly 24 hours.
$20 Dollar Ten-Ride Shareable Family Pack Pass - Each ride is counted from a get-on to get-off stop.
$25 Three-Day Unlimited Pass - Non-shareable

Careful with the ticket. Bent ones will not work. Place it safely, since it is like cash in your wallet or purse when not using it.

There are no fee charges to your credit or bank cards. There are no refunds.

Check the Internet before your trip for discount coupons and free passes. Show tickets should be reserved ahead of time. And always, always, always keep your wallet safely in your front pocket and cash separate. Any crowded situation is a pickpocket’s payday.
Best Way to Get Around:

The Mandalay property is meant to be walked. Familiarizing yourself with the property to ease navigation to your locations is a good idea. There are maps at the check-in desk or VIP reception. If you find reason to leave for a while during your stay:

A tram is available in the Mandalay and swiftly delivers you to the Luxor and the Excalibur. It is a short walk across Las Vegas Boulevard to the MGM Grand and the Monorail.

Taxis are available at all hotels and can be very expensive.

The Monorail recently expanded from three to seven stops. It is inexpensive, and on busy days, faster than cabs on Las Vegas Boulevard.

Open 7am to 2am, it runs in a continuous loop from the MGM to the Sahara in about 15 minutes.
Kids under 5 ride free.
Stations are under armed security and monitored by closed-circuit TV, making it one of the safest mass-transit systems in the country.
