Rate Vegas

My husband and I just stayed at the Mandalay Bay for a week in late April of 2008. THE NEGATIVES: The check in process was the longest I have ever waited (40 minutes in line, and we were told to come back in an hour for the room, and we arrived early!), the buffet is very average and overpriced with few seats that actually have a bayside view so be sure to ask for a window seat. The buffet has self pay machines with really takes the personal feel out, the restaurants at MB are good but there are no real casual eating places at all! Moving on, the layout is really bad as the self parking is extremely far from the hotel elevators and the casino is not a "fun" enviornment like some places (Mirage). We were astonished to find out that at such a high priced resort they actually charge you for high-speed internet access and is $14/day! THE POSITIVES: The Beach area is a lot of fun with good sized waves and plenty of sexy people, the lazy river is much better than I had thought it would be, and the overall relaxation at the beach area is great. I also really liked the Beachside Bar and Grill which had amazing fish sandwiches and chips and authentic salsa. On a scale of 1-10 we would rate this resort and our expierience a 4. Look elsewhere for value and fun!
