text: Mandalay Bay is a beautiful hotelcasio with a nice selection of restaurants and very cool rooms We stayed in the newly furnished Gold Class suites all the suites may be newly furnished by now but when we checked in it did not seem like they were The room is comfortable and has a very modern aesthetic nnA couple of small things are keeping this from a four star review nn The pool is beautiful but when we were there in July it was so incredibly crowded that it was difficult to find pool side seats The lazy river was so full of people trudging along that it ceased to be both lazy and a river it was more like rush hour on the way to a factory job Also the pool does not have umbrellas available for you unless you pay for a cabana and we did not choose this option it is way too pricey for just two The other thing that such a nice pool brings is a large number of kids so keep this in mind if you choose Mandalay Bay in the summernn I had a pair of earrings stolen from the room I know I know keep them in the safe It is my fault for leaving them out but still After I called to report them missing they did send up a very nice and helpful security person but there was really nothing he could do He may have spoken to housekeeping about this however because it was difficult for us to get any housekeeping after the incident It was like we were being punished for reporting the earrings missing
