New Mandaly Bay hotel rooms, Las Vegas

The Mandalay Bay hotel sits proudly at the south end of the Las Vegas strip, acting as a shining gold bookend that represents the end of the strip. A giant gold tower may sound gaudy, but in the relentless Las Vegas sun, the Mandalay Bay looks stunning.

At least, from the outside! Inside, it’s been a different matter. Although the main casino floor is nice enough, the rooms have always left something to be desired, particularly for one of the more expensive hotels on the strip.

Fortunately, Mandalay Bay has recognized this, and has just completed a $150 million refit of all of its hotel rooms.
