Mandalay Bay
Mandalay Bay is an upscale resort anchoring the south end of the Strip, built around an 11-acre beach with a wave pool and a lazy river. Add the Shark Reef Aquarium, top dining and a major arena, and it's a one-stop destination, from $69/night.



Is Mandalay Bay Worth It? Honest Review, Rooms & Rates
Mandalay Bay brings genuine resort energy to the south end of the Strip, and its centerpiece is the 11-acre Mandalay Bay Beach — a sand-bottom complex with a wave pool, lazy river and even a small casino, the kind of pool scene you won't find at most Strip hotels. The Shark Reef Aquarium and a strong dining line-up round it out.
Rooms are upscale and spacious, and the property doubles as a major events and convention hub. The main trade-off is distance: it's at the far south end, so getting to the central Strip means the free tram or a rideshare. Rates start around $69 a night before fees.
Budget for the add-ons: the resort fee is $50 plus tax (about $57 per night), and self-parking costs $20 per day for hotel guests ($20–$25 for visitors, valet $40) with 24-hour in-out privileges across MGM garages. The location math is better than it looks — a free tram links Mandalay Bay with Luxor and Excalibur, the Deuce bus runs 24/7 along the Strip, and the airport is only a few minutes away by car, one of the shortest transfers of any Strip resort; the Bellagio fountains, though, sit about 1.4 miles north. One seasonal note: the wave pool and lazy river typically operate from roughly mid-March through October, with at least one heated pool open in winter.
Insider tipThe base Resort King and Two Queen rooms (all a roomy 550 sq ft) are assigned a Strip, beach, or mountain view by availability — so if you want the skyline guaranteed, book the specifically named 'Strip View' room type rather than a standard Resort room, or you may wake up facing the mountains.Check Rates & Availability →
