The Rates at Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino

"If the Mandalay's slightly cut-off-from-the-Strip location presents a problem, travelers could check rates at the Cosmopolitan, which is in the heart of the Strip (but is not even slightly kid-friendly)"

"Entree, though, is expensive (up to $75 for men)"

"It all gives guests a feeling of luxurious indulgence, but without a sky-high price tag"

"Supporters "love, love" this "swanky" resort with "stunning" decor that's highlighted by “elegant”, “spacious” rooms that are “well appointed” with marble baths, and features a “competent” staff that “makes you feel at home”; most deem it “expensive, but worth it” thanks to an abundance of amenities that include a “beautiful” pool area (with man-made beach, wave pool and lazy river), “amazing” casino, restaurants from such celebrity chefs as Charlie Palmer, a "magnificent" spa, a Cirque du Soleil show, more than a dozen bars and lounges, and a large aquarium"
