Mandalay Bay is among the largest, most fully featured resorts in the Vegas area. It's renowned as an entertainment destination and has put on such notable live shows as Chicago, The Lion King, Mamma Mia, and performances of Cirque du Soleil. At the House of Blues, you can see live music from famous artists.

Mandalay Bay is iconic in Las Vegas for its massive 11-acre tropical pool area, frequently voted the best in the city. Known as "Mandalay Beach," it features 2,700 tons of real sand, a massive wave pool that can create six-foot swells, and a lazy river. Beyond the water, Mandalay Bay is special because it houses the Shark Reef Aquarium, one of the largest walk-through tunnel saltwater aquariums in North America, containing over 2,000 animals including sawfish and giant rays. The resort is also a "mega-hub" for entertainment, hosting the 12,000-seat Michelob ULTRA Arena for major boxing matches and concerts, as well as the House of Blues and the permanent Cirque du Soleil show Michael Jackson ONE. Architecturally, it is unique for its shimmering gold-leaf windows and its "hotel-within-a-hotel" concept, as the top floors are occupied by the Four Seasons Las Vegas, offering a quiet, non-gaming luxury experience just steps away from the bustling casino floor.
