LAS VEGAS – Mandalay Bay redefines Las Vegas fun-in-the-sun with the only climate-controlled poolside gaming in the city and premium beachside seating. Offering 11 acres of tropical-inspired poolside bliss and more exclusive cabanas than any other Strip resort, the Mandalay Bay Beach was already voted the premier pool experience by millions of Las Vegas visitors. Not content to offer guests anything less than sheer sunshine perfection, Mandalay Bay has upped the ante with a recent $30-million-dollar Beach expansion – securing the resort’s position as summer’s most sought-after destination for savvy sun-seeking travelers.
Directly on the sand and just feet from the crashing waves, the three-story, climate-controlled, Beachside Casino offers fabulous amenities for guests.
On the first level beach-goers may dine in the shaded, open-air Beach Bar & Grill, offering an expansive menu of true culinary temptations. Sophisticated sit-down service is offered (though no shirt and shoes requirements here!) or guests may grab a quick snack at the counter to enjoy back in their chairs on the sand.
The second floor features the ultimate player’s paradise: beachside gaming with fabulous views of the brilliant blue water and the fun-and-sun seekers it draws. Blackjack, Roulette and Craps provide world-class gaming action. But this casino royale requires no upscale black-tie apparel; casual beach attire is preferred and encouraged, with even the dealers dressed for a fun-filled day at the beach. Sliding glass panels provide open-air access to the sand and surf while still allowing guests to beat-the-heat in air-conditioned comfort. The Beachside Casino is the only place to catch one of Mandalay Bay’s Concerts on The Beach without missing a moment of the gaming action.
At the top sit the Villas Soleil with spectacular views of the entire Mandalay Bay Beach. Ranging in size from 250 to 500 square feet, these five villas are unlike any standard cabana in Las Vegas. Each of the contemporarily designed villas accommodates up to 16 guests and comes with cabana service and access to the private third-level pool. Each features cozy modular seating and day beds in crisp colors, wet bar, 50-inch flat-screen television, MP3 player, safe, ceiling fan and a private deck overlooking The Beach. Priced from $750 to $2,000 for day use, the villas also can be rented separately for a summer evening spent experiencing a famed Mandalay Bay Concert on The Beach. Concert tickets must be purchased separately.
The elite Villas Soleil are just one of the exclusive cabana experiences available at Mandalay Bay. With more cabanas than any other pool in Las Vegas, The Beach offers a lavish vacationer’s paradise like no other.
For the comfort of pool goers, Mandalay Bay Beach offers more than 1,300 complimentary beachside and poolside chairs and lounges. For those seeking extra personal space waterside, the Beach or Poolside Day Beds host up to six guests and feature canopy shades, televisions, safes and cabana host service.
Located right on the sand, 10 Beach Bungalows and Cabanas are the epitome of waterside indulgence for up to 12 guests. Garden Bungalows, located near the beach but with separate access, feature a private pool area with two hot tubs, ideal for guests who want a more secluded spot to kick back and relax. At more than 100 square feet, these seven bungalows can accommodate up to 10 guests. More options for a private pool experience are provided by 51 cabanas located poolside and along the Lazy River. All beach rentals include personalized service, a beverage-stocked refrigerator and complimentary raft and tube rentals. Day beds, bungalows and cabanas require advance reservations and range from $100 to $750 per day.
Set amidst the famous Mandalay Bay Beach, yet seemingly a world away, Moorea Beach Club provides guests 21 and older with an upscale place to indulge. European bathing with a fantastic view of the sand and surf, cushioned chaise lounges, high-energy music and personalized attendants provide an elite day-club environment. Special inset panels on the frosted glass wall overlooking The Beach provide screening during daytime hours but, with removal in the evening, unobstructed VIP viewing of the Mandalay Bay Concerts on The Beach. The club also offers day beds, opium beds and pavilions from $250 to $750 per day, for extra-luxurious privacy.
Glistening white sun-kissed sand, picture-perfect waves and cool blue water combined with the excitement of climate-controlled poolside gaming and more premium seating make Mandalay Bay the Las Vegas place to stay and play.
