Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino is a hotel casino on the Strip in Las Vegas, Nevada. It is owned by MGM Mirage. Floors 34-39 of the main hotel building are used as a Four Seasons Hotel.

Mandalay Bay has 3,309 hotel rooms and a casino of 135,000 ft² (13,000 m²). The adjacent Mandalay Bay Convention Center has almost one million ft² (93,000 m²) of space. In addition, the Mandalay Bay Events Center hosts events from boxing to concerts.

Attractions

The current stage production at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino is Mamma Mia!. Mandalay Bay features the 11-acre Mandalay Beach with five pools and a lazy river that features a small waterfall. There are also two restaurants at the Beach. Other attractions over the 11 acres are two heated pools, a wave pool, and a topless pool. The pool area is considered among the best in Las Vegas, winning the 2005 Las Vegas Review Jounal's Reader's "Best Pool of Las Vegas" award.

In keeping with the resort's tropical Asia theme, it features the Shark Reef, a saltwater aquarium containing over a million gallons of water. Another popular attraction is the House of Blues, a venue for live music and a restaurant, with a capacity of approximately 1,800.

The Four Seasons Las Vegas has a private pool and lounge area that is accessible only to Four Seasons guests. A little known fact is that the Four Seasons has disposable swimsuits for guests to wear should they come to the pool unprepared.

History

During construction engineers discovered that one side of the tower had sunk about two feet (600 mm) stopping construction. Construction was delayed while a solution was designed and tested. Eventually they were able to add material below the structure to carry the weight. Since then, there have not been any reports of this problem recurring.

The resort opened on March 2, 1999, and is located on the former grounds of the Hacienda.

The convention center was added in January 2003. When it opened, it was ranked as the fifth largest in the United States. It also offered the largest unobstructed ballroom in the country, at 100,000 ft² (9,000 m²).

In 2004 a new 43-story tower was opened with 1,120 suites, called THEhotel at Mandalay Bay.
