I have been to Vegas quite a few times, and this was definitely one of the better hotels. They have a great pool area that is setup like a beach, a nice Casino with many nice restaurants, and a pretty good overall vibe.
The rooms were nice, the bathroom was one of the biggest I have seen in Vegas, and it had a solid view to the mountains.
When approaching the strip, you realize that while the other hotels are no slouches, this is one of the largest ones. From what I understand a few of the top floors make up the Four Seasons, and have their own private elevators, etc.
I would stay at the Mandalay again, although, I wish it was a bit cheaper.
