252 reviews for THEhotel at Mandalay Bay
I have to say that if the only factor in my decision to stay someplace in Vegas was based on the hotel alone (excluding casino, nightlife, shopping, etc.) I would only stay at THE Hotel from this point forward. The moment you walk into the lobby you feel like you are somewhere peaceful and luxurious, rather than crowded, noisy, and hectic (a la Venetian or Mandalay Bay). The lighting is pleasant. The decor is sleek and modern. There's no overdone, cheesy Vegas theme going on.
So here are all the good things about THE Hotel:
-The room: We stayed in a V Suite, as opposed to a THE Suite. Not sure what the difference is but we had 2 bathrooms and a bedroom that was separate from the living room area and had a door that you could actually close. This came in handy when we peer pressured our friends to miss their flight and crash in our room. We had a great view of the strip and the pool. The bathroom was spacious and had good amenities like a professional quality hair dryer with a straightening attachment, flat screen TV, a scale (so you can see how fat you're getting), and unlimited supplies of q-tips and cotton balls (little things like that make a difference!). The robes are super plush and the slippers are so soft and cozy.
-The service: The concierge managed to get us on the guest list for Tryst on Halloween night. My husband stayed through the week for a conference and he should have downgraded to the room that his company booked for him, but they actually let him stay in our suite from the weekend without charging him an upgrade fee.
-The MIX Restaurant and lounge is another great reason to stay. And if you're coming during the summer Moorea Beach Club is also reason enough to choose THE Hotel.
Here are the reason why I might choose to go elsewhere next time: -Mandalay Bay. So many families and awful tourists there. And since THE Hotel doesn't have it's own casino, you have no choice but to be amongst them. Who brings their kids to Vegas!?!?
-Also, MIX is the only real restaurant here. It'd be nice if there was more than one restaurant of that caliber like at the Wynn or Palazzo. If you want any variety, you have to venture into Mandalay.
-Proximity to the Luxor (yuck!)
-ZERO SHOPS!!!!! How does a hotel of this quality not have any good shops?!?! There's a small shopping hall in Mandalay Plaza but all those stores are pretty low-rent. And you're so far from Caesar's or the Palazzo... You can pretty much rule out any shopping if you stay here. That's not as much of a problem for me during the summer because I'd rather be by the pool during the day, anyways. But what's a girl to do during the cold months??? INSANITY!

A very dear friend of mine wanted to go to Vegas for his birthday. I said sure. We decided to ask another friend to come along. His nickname is Dirty Deutsch* and he is probably the dirtiest person I've ever met in my life. Never go on a trip with anyone whose nickname has the word "Dirty" in it.
So my dear friend got a suite. It was nice. We were really there to gamble anyway. And have some nice meals.
Late one night after gambling, my dear friend and I thought it would be relaxing to take a bubble bath. So we called the front desk. No bubble bath. What the fuck? Why would you have a kick ass tub like that and no bath salts? So we had to trek down to the gift shop and pick some up. Pretty annoying, but worth it.
On our final night, he and I won a ton of money at the craps table and decided to call it a night. But Dirty Deutsch* wanted to stay out. I had commented through the weekend that he should go talk to this girl or that girl, which prompted him to inform me that they were all hookers and he didn't expect that level of naivety from me. So I didn't think much when he said he was going to hang out for a while.
The boy and I awoke to the sound of Dirty Deutsch* coming in with a girl and going into the bathroom. And as we tried to sleep, we heard the sounds of them "getting to know each other". We chuckled at first and then it got annoying. Luckily it was over pretty quickly. Unluckily, we got a glimpse of the girl - and realized that he had gone for a bargain basement deal. The boys got into an argument over what was acceptable behavior... I tried to diffuse it by saying "I never heard anyone having sex with a hooker before".
To summarize, THEhotel needs the following improvements:
-provide bath salts and/or bubble bath
-have thicker walls/doors in the bathrooms so you don't hear your friend having sex with a hooker
-keep out the cut rate hookers
*I changed his last name to protect his already much sullied reputation.

Nice modern artsy chill getaway from crazy Vegas. 4.5 stars
Cost to worth it rating: 3 (more expensive than average hotel but can get deals sometime)
Return worthiness: yes
Highlights:
- Decor: open, tall ceilings in the lobby and artsy, colorful, long hallways on the room levels
- No casino: probably what makes it so serene to come back to, though if you want to gamble the Mandalay casino is close
- Steps away from Mandalay restaurants: from Burger Bar to Aureole there are some great spots
- Access to beach: a fun benefit, as I love the wave pool
- Classy rooms: huge jacuzzi tub, nice views, large extra comfy beds
- Welcoming check in: we had an extra cheery personable staff member help us which set a good tone for our visit, as I was worried the place might be stuffy. Made us feel VIP without the pretentiousness.
- Room charge card can be used at lots of hotels on the strip
- Club at top floor: nice view, good music, not crazy crowded
Lowlights:
- Internet charge: no wireless included, stark room with computer pay $1/min plus $1.50/printout--even a standard hotel in other cities have a computer in lobby to print out just boarding passes or room key access business centers. At a luxury hotel, your room charge should include this to avoid guests feeling nickel and dimed.
- No mini bar: we had smaller room but was odd (esp cause they gave us a key for one at check in).
- Said we could get complimentary access to upper floor bar for yet charged the hub at the entry point even when showed guest key.
All in all, I really enjoyed our cozy, fun, and comfortable stay here and would love to return.

Travelling and staying with three people can be a bit difficult. It is particularly a problem if everyone has different reasoning for travelling (work or play) and so different schedules. After piggy-backing on a friends work trip to Vegas the bf and I were a bit concerned by the room situation at the Mandalay Bay. Seeing that THEhotel had suites (with a separate living area) for barely $50 more a night we decided to upgrade for everyone's well-being.
It was perfect.
Not only was there ample room for everyone and a separate living room for those who wanted to wake early or stay up late but there were also two bathrooms and just an overall abundance of space. The service was top-notch and any issues we had were immediately dealt with and rectified.
There were only a couple of legitimate downsides to being at THEhotel at Mandalay Bay. The first was that it is definitely not on "the strip". It looks like it is and you can walk to everything (sort of) and technically it is on the same road but if you are looking to walk out of your hotel and into the action, that is a problem. It also means that you need to travel to go to the other casinos and that takes a significant amount of time and money (neither too significant - time: ~15 min, money: ~$10).
The other potential downside is the distance between THEhotel and the Mandalay Bay pools (that you obviously have access to). It is a bit of a hike. The hotel rooms at Mandalay Bay go down to the pool level but if you are staying at THEhotel then you have to take the elevators to the lobby floor, walk through the casino, down a level and then outside and down the path to the pools. This is a huge issue if you are with someone with limited mobility (which I wasn't but thought of).
The benefits of THEhotel far outweigh the downfalls so I would recommend this hotel to almost anyone!
Added bonus: The bathtub is like a personal swimming pool it is so big!

I totally forgot how great this hotel is!! With a separated bedroom/ living room space and 2 bathrooms and an extra sink in the living room, this is the best hotel EVER! Lots of room for large parties and decor hella ROCKS! I LOVE THIS PLACE!!
I go to Vegas ~6 times a year.. i know my hotels!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE THEHotel!! Here are my reasons...
1. If you want to avoid casino floor on the way back to your suite, or after checking into your suite, this is the place.
2. If you want a quiet peaceful suite to rest after a marathon of heavy drinking, gambling, partying, pool partying, this is the place.
3. If you are looking for luxury stay while having all the fun you can have in Las Vegas, this is the place to stay.
4. If you are looking to stay at one Las Vegas Hotel for the majority of the weekend trip, Mandalay Bay and THEHotel offers enough choices for entertainment you don't really have to leave the hotel, except for shopping.
5. If you want to avoid smoking gamblers and confusing casino floors, this definitely the place to stay at.
I cannot tell you how much I enjoy staying at their suite, I have stayed at other major Suite hotels, in comparason TheHotel offers a different lodging experience that everyone can enjoy.

I didn't expect much from THE Hotel after having a mediocre stay at the Mandalay Bay a few years back, but what a pleasant surprise. For starters, let me clarify that it is attached to the Mandalay Bay so you have access to the casino and what not, but THE Hotel is an entirely different property.
When you pull up, you are dropped off in the shade of a parking garage. That is the entrance of the property. Normally, I would say that this is not a good design, but in Las Vegas where the Strip has terrible traffic and the valet can be crowded or in the sun, this may be preferred. It is tucked away in the back of the property, providing quick access to the freeway or the Strip.
Once inside, the style of the property is very modern and sleek. While we were waiting to get checked-in, we were looking at the massive piece of art behind the front desk. It took a while to figure it out, but there is a hidden theme that you need to uncover.
The suites are very modern and comfortable. With a small living room, powder bath, and large master bedroom and bathroom, there is more than enough space for two people to be very comfortable. Flat screen televisions and all of the amenities you would expect are included. The room service was delivered quickly and was good.
The only real negative, in my opinion, is being at the furthest end of the Strip. If you like to wander around on foot and explore the entire time, this is not an ideal location. If you don't mind using taxis or limos, you are sure to be pleased with the bang for the buck that you receive at this hotel.

I loved the decor of THEhotel as you walk in with a nice, sleek, contemporary feel to it along with the tall, black and white walls, clean glass doors and fresh white flowers of lilies, roses, and carnations.
Our one bedroom suite was nice, but reminded me a lot of The Signature suites... only smaller. The layout was eerily familiar with the living room attached to the one bedroom, the padded headboards, the large bathroom with a seperate tub and shower, to the seperate bathroom with a phone in there.
Honestly, a really, really nice hotel, but for the price AND the inconvience of the location, the Signature would be a better deal. A taxi from our hotel to the Venetian would cost about $20 each way not including tip. =(
One of the best part of the hotel? THEbeach at Mandalay bay's pool. Can you say Wave Pool? Super cool. THEbeach was awesome. So if it's your first time staying here, I would recommend coming to the pool here since you have to be a guest at the hotel to even get it.
After staying at Mandalay Bay last year, my friends and I decided to upgrade to a couple suites on the hotel. To be honest, I was happy with the rooms we had previously booked but the hotel was a lot nicer. It didn't have any riffraff and the staff was super helpful and professional. The housekeeping was considerate and willing to accommodate extra towels and soaps. The suite layout was good so each person could occupy one room. There were also two bathrooms, so you didn't have to interrupt someone else by entering their room to use the bathroom. I recommend a pool or strip view.
We still had all the amenities of Mandalay Bay, including pool and spa access. The mix of guests was quite fitting for my group. There wasn't the usual Vegas spring break crowd, and it also wasn't a family travel destination. There was a lot of couples and groups of friends in there mid 20's to mid 40's.
Even though it is "at the end of the strip". It is convenient to the airport, cabs, and kind of nice to get out of the heart of the strip.
CLASSY.
need i say more?
i really dont-- that one word explains it all, but ill elaborate just for the sake of those who dont believe me. the suite was HUGE, way bigger than what i expected-- living room, master bedroom and two bathrooms! the tub was heavenly after a long day of walking around the strip & the flat screen right in front of the tub wasnt too shabby either ;] talk about relaxation!
i also liked the whole modern look of the room, it was kinda like spending the night in display room at ikea. i likeeee ;]

This place is fabulous. Gorgeous, gorgeous suites! We stayed here during an event, and were nothing but happy with our experience. The room was great, and very spacious. Enough bathrooms and mirror space to please four hairdressers(and trust me, this is an accomplishment). The beds were really comfortable and we had ample closet space. I can't really speak about price, cause we were given a great corporate rate(not sure what regular prices are), but we will DEFINITELY stay here again next year!
I think the location is fine, if you don't need to be RIGHT on the strip(besides, you can get a Deuce bus pass for like seven bucks a day to go back and forth!), and it's close to the airport which means cheaper taxi fare there and back!
Also, I suggest popping into The Mix bar upstairs. Great decor, and a beautiful view at night...even if the drinks were silly expensive(but no more so than any other Vegas Club, I'm assuming)!

I stayed here over the 4th of July for C.Wu's bachelorette & bday weekend of debauchery. We had 8 girls that split into two V Suites which had 2 queen beds and 1 1/2 bath. Unfortunately, they didn't have 2 adjoining suites, so we had to be on separate floors.
The bathroom was huge! There was a glass shower and a ginormous bathtub. I really liked that they had the 1/2 bath near the entryway. Multiple bathrooms with multiple mirrors allowed 4 girls to put on makeup all at once. The beds were nice and comfy. The pillow top mattresses and down comforters were a nice touch.
There were 2 super soft bath robes and some slippers. Too bad there weren't 4 sets. And the slippers were his and hers. Why would they put his and hers slippers in a room with 2 queen beds?
After our first night, we spent the whole day at the pool...the WHOLE day. So why was it that we came back to the room and housekeeping was just coming around? Not a super big deal since we didn't care if they made the bed. We ended up not having them clean the room and just asked for new towels.
This would've been a 4 star review until my last night. I got back to the hotel after drinking a bit too much at XS. While praying to the porcelain god, I happened to notice the toilet wasn't exactly very clean. There was some mold/mildew around the edge of the rim. Not something I wanted to see while regurgitating my dinner.
Overall, this was a really nice hotel. Hopefully they'll clean their toilets better next time.

How could you go wrong here?
I mean seriously, you can watch ESPN while taking a dump.
What a great place to stay, when in the City of Sin.
Check out the Aquarium on site, the shark tour is worth it.
Also, a decent buffet.

This is my favorite hotel in Vegas.
Stayed here in 2006 because I got a really good deal on the room.
I think they go a little overboard on the THE theme (THElobby, THEstore, THEbar, etc. lol). They even had a little sticker on the toilet paper when I checked in that said THEtp. lol. That's ok, though.
I LOVED the layout of my room. It's set up like a modern apartment with a half bath for guests, a living room with a wet bar, and a separate bedroom. Bathroom is gorgeous and has a nice, deep soaking tub and a glass shower.
Service was great, rooms felt luxurious. I just wish they would lower their rates to what I paid in '06 again. I was definitely stay again soon if they did!
Clean, modern, great bed, large suite, nice bathroom, quiet, responsive service, and relatively free of folks I don't want to be bumping into in Vegas, this is where I stay in Vegas when I come here for work.
Bar is good and always getting a nice crowd although not the latest and greatest on the Strip. Note THE Hotel's location isn't the most central and it doesn't have its own casino, so keep that in mind depending on what you're looking for on the strip.
Quick tip: ask to be upgraded. Maybe its because of the lack of big players staying here, it just seems like it's easier for them to say yes.

This place is super nice, but I kind of felt like a little kid walking through an art museum where I'm not allowed to touch anything or make any noise.
All the rooms are suites with a king-sized bed and separate living room. The bathrooms are huge too! Like I'm talking you could have a house-party in the bathroom huge.
The only down-side of THEhotel is the location. It's at the very south end of the strip and is pretty far from any clubs. Don't even try to walk anywhere because it will easily take over half an hour and in heels that's not a very good idea.
My Vegas vacations tend to be broken up into two parts, first an inexpensive leg where we stay in a low cost, affordable hotel, then we finish it up at a high-end luxury local. THEhotel was the high end of this particular trip, but it left me wanting more...
THEreview of THEhotel:
Change the stupid name. It's pretentious only for those people who are in the know. Everybody else thinks that you are just staying at the hotel, at Mandalay Bay, not THE hotel. If I gotta tell them I'm staying high end, I look like an ass.
THEValet (hey, they named it) was sub-par. Just getting to the valet was like navigating a maze. I thought when I finally got there I would get a piece of cheese like a good little lab mouse. I didn't get any cheese.
Here's what I did get for this high dollar stay:
Super soft robes! I wouldn't take/buy one for fear they would disintegrate in the first wash, but walking around the room naked in the world's softest robe was awesome.
A bathtub that could have a diving board attached. It's soooo deep you can totally submerge yourself. I'm not sure I need to, but it certainly is an option.
A bathroom scale. I like this nice touch. It's like being at home, And I can weigh myself before and after eating at the buffet.
A water closet. Even though there's only two of us, we always seem to have to go to the bathroom at the same time. The second toilet is an excellent touch.
Excellent front desk staff. We checked in around 10 am, well before the desired check-in time, and they were good with it. We got a lower level floor, looking out over the parking garage roof, but we still got in. They also helped us to confirm our cabana rental (a must before 10:30 or they will give it to someone else). Then they took the cabana key back to the beach club for us when I discovered that I accidentally brought it back to my room.
All the other amenities you would expect from a 4 star hotel, like real hangers, big rooms, HD televisions, and a spacious bathroom.
Speaking of the Cabana, we rented one in the Private beach area, and it was pretty cool, but I was a little bored. Great for relaxing, but nothing else going on. I guess I got a little spoiled by the Stratosphere's topless pool and volleyball.
What I didn't get:
Chocolates or a turndown. Not very 4-star.
Quick bell service. A major turn-off at a 4-star property. We waited 40 minutes for the bell-hop, enough to cause stress if you have a flight to catch.
The shower door leaked, leaving a very slippery/dangerous tile bathroom floor.
The age of a hotel is no excuse. When you pay 4-star prices you expect 4 star service and maintenance. Hire extra bell-hops for the checkout rush. Hire more than 1 valet (that's right, there was only 1 valet -busting her ass- at checkout. Replace the rubber seals on the shower door.
THEhotel tries to be pretentious, but they missed the mark in a number of areas, leaving this reviewer with a 3-star rating for this 4-star hotel.

I loved everything about this place. Everything! Venetian has been my favorite hotel for several years now....but this one is a serious contender! Here's the breakdown:
PROS: it's easy to love it when you are a VIP. Limo ride from Airport...perfect. Check in: fast with easy access to elevators from lobby. Coffee bar right outside the elevators!!!!! (That is one of my biggest peeves is to have to search for a cup of coffee in the morning. Yes, Bellagio and Wynn, I'm talking to you). The room was fantastic:
Suite with 3 flat screens, 1 full bathroom, 1 half bathroom, mini bar, seperate living room, bedroom, dual closets that were easily accessible, nice blow dryer, double sinks, really great lotion and soap, etc. From what I understand this is their standard room! What? Awesome! And I really love......are you ready? I love that The Hotel is seperate and has a seperate entrance from the casino. NO SMOKE! Yay!
Great venue for concerts too! I'll be back!

After staying at several other hotels, I can safely say that THE Hotel is THE best! For style, square footage, and amenities THE Hotel at Mandalay Bay has it all. The Suites have 1 bedroom, 1 and 1/2 bathrooms, a shower, a tub, TV's in the living room, bedroom and bathroom. The location is great and the different restaurants inside Mandalay Bay offer a little bit of something for everyone.
Toiletries are top notch! We save the scrubby oatmeal soaps and use them when we aren't in Vegas. This place smells amazing, too!

I last stayed here on Father's Day with my family complimentary of THEhotel. Too bad check-in took forever and our room wouldn't be ready until 3:00 pm. Rooms are still the same, but I think it's time to replace some of the furniture - some of the tables in our sitting area were a little banged up.
Personally, I like staying in fairly newer hotels. If you're like me, then you probably wouldn't enjoy staying at THEhotel since they're now considered one of the older hotels on the strip... and management clearly doesn't do a good job in keeping the place looking spankin' new.

The first time I stayed at THEhotel was when my father (who is listed as V.I.P. due to him… Read more »
I came to celebrate Father's Day and the rooms are awesome!! Each room has two separate sections: one living room and one bedroom. The furnishing in the room was nicely decorated with artwork in all the rooms, plus hallways. There are 3 LCD flat screen in each room: bathroom, bedroom, and living room. The bathroom is really clean with his/her sinks, a tub, and a shower. Each room has a separate bathroom: one in the living room and one in the bedroom (connected to the bathroom with a separate door).
The mini bar has a wide variety of alcohol and treats, which is restocked daily.
The room service is awesome. The room is cleaned daily with extra towels (if requested), shampoo, conditioner, and lotion. I typically bring my own shampoo, conditioner,and lotion...but the products were awesome. I love the lotion =)
I was hungry with I arrived in Vegas. I called for room service. I had the french onion soup, pasta, and a salad. It was kinda pricey...but the food was good.
Overall, the hotel was an awesome place to stay and the service was excellent.

We spent three nights at The Hotel at Mandalay Bay and had a wonderful time. The lobby is gorgeous and the service is top notch. The only reason why one really stays in The Hotel is because of the suites. In all honesty all the ammenities are in the Mandalay Bay. Our room had a living room which featured a nice workdesk, bar, 42 inch plasma TV and very comfortable furniture. The bedroom boasted comfortable beds and a large TV. The room had 1 and a half bathrooms. The full bathroom is huge and had an amazing shower, plasma tv, and two sinks which was perfect as I was there with my fiance.
The bottom line is that if you dont care to spend extra money on a room then The Hotel is for you. The Hotel is luxirious and very high end but in truth you are just paying extra for a nice room and a great lobby. The Mandalay Bay features an amazing Spa, great pool, and a nice casino. So if you would rather save a few bucks and are fine with a nice, decent room then just get a room at the Mandalay Bay.
Stayed here on our birthday weekend and overall it was a nice room. For the price and suite size, it was a good deal. It had 2 bathrooms, one for the living room area and a master. Bed was comfy, and bathroom was nice with a huge oversized soaking tub and a flat-screen tv in there to watch while showering, etc. One downer was it's at the extreme end of the Vegas strip, but other than that it was a nice hotel.
Overall, nice hotel/room, okay price, okay service.
I was in Vegas last weekend for a good friend's bachelor party. We got a pretty good deal on THEsuite at THEhotel ($196 total per night for a 750 sq ft suite). Everything here is clean, tasteful and modern. Everyone was impressed.
The only thing that got annoying was THE branding. Take the names of the businesses, for instance: THEstore, THEcafe, THEbar, etc. Even in the room, you have THEminibar, THEpad (yes, the notepad has a name) and THE other shit.
Still, these are really nice rooms and they're connected to Mandalay Bay, one of my favorite places in Vegas. If you can find a decent price here, I highly recommend it.

After receiving my survey I received an e-mail from THE HOTEL for a complimentary two night stay. This definitely rectified everything that went wrong and was unexpected. I will be staying here again, but I also want to try other hotels on the strip.

One of my FAVorite hotels in vegas! The suites are spacious and really nice. The decor is modern and sophisticated.
If you sign up for the players club they send you tons of deals via email...a few weeks ago we stayed there for $139 a night for friday and saturday. And $150 for a cabana rental.
The pools are also the best in vegas with the lazy river and pretend beach (wave pool).
The only problem is that you have to make sure you have the room key with you or you won't get into the pool area.
Otherwise, TheHotel is highly reccomended!

Very nice stay here, but a few short falls:
-theGym is small & the lighting makes me feel like I'm on some sort of acid trip
-MORE pillows please!
-Old school drapes, time to upgrade to remote activation
-Tissue & toilet paper are VERY low quality. Dude, at LEAST Kleenex brand.
-Fiji in the room is ROOM temperature.
-Gets really hot at night, b/c the AC defaults back to 72. 65*F is optimal.
Awesome blossom:
-Plenty of TVs, three
-An actual SUITE w/DOORS and TWO bathrooms
-Chenille robes & terry slippers, many resorts are cutting back on the slippers
-DVD player so I can do my Tracy Anderson workouts
-ZERO wait for cabs

We didn't stay at a hotel in Vegas, we stayed at THEhotel at Mandalay Bay. Ok, I wonder how many other people said that? Excellent hotel which heightened the experience of Vegas. The rooms were modern and very comfortable.
One of the highlights of the place was the awesome pool they had there. So many hot babes there, it was unbelievable.

For Vegas, yes. I think this one is as good as it gets. Had a beautiful suite near the top floor, nice view, super room, QUIET.
In Vegas, quiet is quite underrated. I liked the hotel most because nobody seems to know its there...an oasis. I didn't see a bunch of kids, rowdy people (don't get me wrong, rowdy is fun-but not where you live, get it?)
I also won 1800 bucks at a slot machine in their casino, so I'M NOT GONNA COMPLAIN!
If you like a modern and classy room without a tacky theme and ugly carpeting-stay here. If you want all that, go to Camelot down the street....:) Amenities here are pretty good, not world class or anything, but way better than the theme parks on the strip.
Rock on!
So Vegas hotels are all pretty much the same right? HUGE, loud, smokey, tacky carpeting, weird lighting, and slot machines clinking all over the place. If you're looking for something a bit different, classier - THE hotel is the place for you. They only offer suites which was FINE BY ME. The room had two queen size beds, a giant bathroom with tub and shower and an extra powder room. The decor was clean, mostly black and sleek. Even the smells were different. It was nice to be able to stay in a beautiful hotel that was within walking distance of the casino mess. I will definitely be staying here again! Concierge was super nice going above and beyond with our silly requests.
Tip: 2 beds are not always gauranteed in the suites!
Review 300 goes to my favorite hotel in Vegas...THEhotel.
I absolutely love THEhotel. We got a great deal through Orbitz along with our flight. The rooms are set up like suites. They have a separate living room, huge bedroom (comfy beds), and 2 bathrooms (with great smelling soap!). In addition, they have two huge flat screen TVs and another one in the bathroom too! The bathrooms also come with a big, luxurious tub. :) Our view was amazing as well.
I also love how it is part of Mandalay Bay. It would be great to come back in the summer to stay at THEhotel and be able to enjoy the incredible pools there as well. Mix Lounge at the top of the hotel is really nice too.
I would definitely recommend staying here. I know that I'll be back for sure!!!

The hotel is niiiice. Everything is new modern and fresh. Even though it's on the strip it is still pretty far from the middle of the strip. You'll end up spending so much money on cab rides. Might as well stay in the middle and not waste money on cabs. That's just my 2 cents.

i went with my partner and my dad to have a nice little breakfast before heading out of vegas. i was excited to see dutch babies on the menu, so my dad and i ordered one each. the waitress warned us that it takes a little longer to cook than most of their other items, but it should be 20 minutes. fine, we wanted our dutch babies, dammit!
20 minutes rolled by and a man in a suit came out with 3 fruit plates as a peace offering: apparently the dutch babies didn't rise and they were making them again. so we munched on the fruit as 30 more minutes pass by. at this point i'm getting pissed. the man in the suit came back out to apologize yet again! apparently they are having "problems with the oven". i told him that i hoped he didn't expect us to pay for thos items, and he said he would comp the whole meal for all of us. well, how nice...3 coffees and 3 fruit plates we didn't ask for. my partner didn't even get his omelette either.
at this point we had to be getting on the road, so we declined his offer of preparing us something else, but instead i told him could get some pastries and bottled water that we can eat on the road.
he reappeared with a bag full of tasty pastries (5) and 3 giant bottles of water. he also handed us his business card, at which point i realized he was the manager, and told us to come back for a comped breakfast the next time we are in town. (i bet when we do finally return they won't have the ducth baby on the menu anymore...)
it's too bad this had to happen, cuz in the past i've been very happy eating and staying there. the manager's attentiveness after the fact saved them from getting a single star.

This is a nice hotel but if I only had a day or two in Vegas I would pick some place more central to all the action--Mandalay Bay is on the far south end of the strip, everything looks super close but trust me, it's quite a hike from Treasure Island, even the Bellagio.
Check-in is probably the best I've experienced (in terms of Las Vegas casino resorts anyway). The garage is small but space is ample and if you don't do valet, you will not need to hike a mile or two through casino, shops and bars to get to the front desk.
The rooms are nice, suite style. The decor is botique-hotel stylish but perhaps a little too dark. One bathroom plus a powder room. The desk is large and accomidating. The beds are comfortable and the robes are soft. The bathouse was...interesting. I almost felt like I was in a dark prison-with lovely walls and enticing smells of course. The services were very good. When I went prices were a little higher than they are now. I will say if I was able to get a $130/night room at this place I would be one happy person.
I mentioned earlier about it being far away from the action, too far for a short trip but I liked being farther away because it seemed more quiet (and closer to the interstates, strip traffic is awful for those of us who like to go off strip). I've stayed right above the strip at NYNY and it was very loud. Where THEhotel is situated, it's quiet. All in all, great place, but a person could easily find something nicer in Vegas.

Pretty decent suite that's worth the money. Both times, I stayed at one of their THE Suites. Living room, bedroom, nice bathroom, and a 1/2 bath by the front door. The overall service (lobby, room, etc.) was not bad. The rooms were clean and well stocked with everything you need. Pretty cushy place. Since Mandalay is at the far end of The Strip, the price here is pretty good compared to other suites in other hotels especially considering how nice Mandalay's pools are.
They did mishandle a couple of things which made me hesitate to give them a full 5 stars. The towels were old and scratchy...both times. The TV (while big) was useless due to the subpar cable in the room. Why advertise you have an HD flatscreen when you have no HD channels? We ordered the room with a pull-out sofa sleeper in the living room (which was suppose to be standard). But the sofa we got wasn't a sleeper so we just sort of had to make due sleeping on the sofa for 2 nights.
One morning we got a wake up call at 8am. That really SUCKED considering we went to bed at 5am. However, the call we actually requested for 10am never came causing us to oversleep and miss a poker tournament.
So, overall, it's a nice hotel but their attention to detail needs some work before it can truly compete with the top-end 5-star hotels.
All in all - totally dug THE Hotel. Although I hated having to say, THE Hotel over and over. It just sounds so freaking pretentious.
Anyway, I'm in a hurry, so we're doing this quicky style. Here's what I liked:
* THE Room. We got the lowest level one bedroom suite. I think it's called THE Suite. Very nicely appointed. Very comfy bed. VERY huge tub.
* I really loved that tub. It fit me AND my boyfriend, who is not a small guy. Wait! I mean it fit me. I would never take a bath with a boy! Are you crazy? hehehehe...
* Loved the pool - for the most part. I loved the lazy river, but hated the fact that so many freaking people weren't on inner tubes. It's kind of annoying having to constantly make sure you aren't going to kick someone in the head. Makes it a little hard to relax. The wave pool was really fun, but the one wave every 5 minutes or so thing? Huh? Why???? I did really, really like the east and west lagoon pools which were very chill. You can bring your drinks, your smokes and just work on your tan.
* Loved the restaurant choices. We ate at Stripsteak our last night, which was great. Our one room service meal was a burger, fries and mac & cheese and the burger pretty much kicked ass - and if you know me, you know I'm not such a burger fan. My mac and cheese was damn good too. Of course, it was damn expensive, but hey - it's room service at THE Hotel.
* Lastly, I love that I won $200 on the slots the first night. I'm convinced the first time you play with one of their membership card thingies they hook you up.
There are just so many fun places to stay in Vegas that I don't know if I would return to THE Hotel - if I stayed anywhere in the complex it would probably just be at Mandalay Bay since I feel that it's more convenient to stay in the main part of the hotel. But it was a great weekend and I'm glad we got to check it out!

Whenever I hear or see this hotel, being in the trade show industry, I immediately think WORK!!!
In any case, stopped here for their buffet. Decently priced at $27/person for a Saturday evening buffet. The food is alright - nothing special. I think I would've preferred more options. At first, it seems like there's a lot of choices but after round 2, you're kind of sick of everything already.
I'm not a huge fan of buffets - I don't think I'd come back.
THE good:
- Sleek, modern, upscale rooms with great amenities
- Stylish, modern architecture and interior design
- No buffet
- No screaming kids
- No fat white trash people from the mid-west with pastel stretch pants & fanny packs, walking around like zombies from one buffet to the next, sucking down 3 ft tall daiquiris
- Great views of the strip & the mountains
- Excellent customer service
THE bad:
- No coffee makers in the rooms. What? When did this happen? Cheap stinking bastards.
- An omelette from room service the size of a deck of cards that costs $27

THEhotel is amazing! Here's why:
1. The customer service was exactly what you would expect from a high end hotel. From the girl who checked us in with smiles and "happy birthday!" to the valet as we were leaving, everyone was pleasant and exceedingly nice.
2. Arturo the concierge! I called him from the room as we were having pre-game cocktails. He was so helpful and in seconds we were chatting like BFFs. He got us on the list to Body English, Tryst, Krave, and Pure. He was awesome!
3. The room. Holy moly, the room. It was stunning! More space then we needed, but we loved it. The floor to ceiling windows in every room, the modern and elegant decor, the luxurious bedding...perfect!
4. The bath tub gets it's own number. I could do a freaking synchronized swimming routine in that tub. Add a bath bomb from Lush at Mandalay Place and you're in business.
We got a great deal (hello, recession!) and I'm so glad we decided to stay there. Yeah, it's on the very south end of the Strip, but it was nice to be away from the construction and crowds.
I WILL be back.

One year later ... same hotel ... same great experience. This is our fifth time staying here and we always love it!
Reid was still working the front desk and he remembered me from a year ago. What? That seems impossible. But he did. And he took great care of us! We got a beautiful suite again. I am so happy to be here, even if I have to go to class all day at the conference.
This is a wonderful place to spend Valentine's Day. Life in Las Vegas is such a fairy tale ... and this fairy tale continues to get better and better ... American Express gave me a $100 spa credit. Score.
