text: Mandalay Bay is a neat casino on the Strip very large with lots of options but does not have a lot in the way of tables for common games like blackjack Most of the games are odd variations like Let It Ride and Blackjack Switch so if that is your cup of teago for it The dealers were not that engaging though and could use a little bit more skip in their step but it is not like they were rude or anything It is a cool place to hang out and is connected by tram to the Excalibur and the Luxor I did not stay here so this review is strictly for the casino and I have independently reviewed the Crossroads House of Blues restaurant which I highly recommend
