text: I must admit that I'm one of the very few who does not care for Las Vegas.  Came here for a quick weekend with a friend who was in need of a quick weekend getaway, and she loves Vegas.  She suggested that we stay at the Mandalay Bay because of the great pool areas.\nWe stayed here 3 days two nights with another friend of ours who flew in from Portland.  \nWe never left the Mandalay property all weekend long.  Didn't need to.  Everything was self contained here.  There's plenty of nice restaurants and bars to choose from.  And there's I think 4 different pool areas including a wave pool beach area, and a rapid floating pool area.  And a 21 year and older pool area which was free for the women on Saturday that we were there, and $30 for the men!  \nWe had an okay dinner at the Border Grill.  The weekend we were there, the B52s and Blondie performed at the Mandalay Bay beach Saturday night!  Tickets were $60, but were discounted for guests staying at the Mandalay for a discounted price of $33!  The concert was great!  Especially the B52s!  They play on the stage next to the wave pool.  They shut the waves down and clear all the lounge chairs from the beach.  We watched the concert in the pool right in front of the stage!  It was awesome!\nNow for the rooms.  The rooms are spacious and so was the bathroom, with double sinks and a separate room for the toilet - nice touch - and a separate shower stall and jacuzzi tub.  They're not the newest rooms, but they're nicely maintained and decorated.\nAlthough I'm not a fan of Vegas, I'd definitely stay at the Mandalay again, if and when I go back to Vegas again.
