The Spa at Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino

"A well-equipped workout facility, full-service spa, and a salon complete the recreation package"

"The giant Mandalay Bay offers a ton of features for kids (wave pool, streaming lazy river pool, shark reef aquarium) and adults (lively bars, world-class restaurants, a large spa), but the constant crowds, long lines, and airport noise can make it a slightly less attractive mid-tier luxury option"

"An understated oasis of water features, lush foliage, huge aquariums and island architecture, it encompasses a sensuous spa, a classy collection of restaurants, a pair of wedding chapels, several theatres and the kid-friendly Shark Reef aquarium"

"Along with the lazy river, Mandalay Beach boasts a wave pool and sandy beach, while the 30,000 square foot Spa Mandalay is a much welcome sanctuary amid the hotel's buzzy scene"

"Spacious rooms are done in a mid-century modern style that neatly blends restful and colorful, while bathrooms offer separate toilets and showers"
