Sentiment analysis: I ate here with 3 dining companions a couple of weeks ago on Friday evening and so we were able to have the gourmet dinner. It took us about 20 minutes to get through the line before we made it into the buffet but seeing how it was around 7 on a Friday evening, it was not a big surprise. The buffet had everything that you would think a luxury buffet could have from sushi and other seafood like cracked crab legs to many different cuts of meat, desserts and also a good selection of vegetables. My personal favorites were the beef wellington, slice of kobe beef and the BBQ chicken pizza. Some of the things that I was not as big of a fan of were the veal osso bucco which seemed to have a weird flavor to it, the macaroni and cheese which looked wonderful but had no flavor at all and the wahoo which was a bit dried out for my taste. They also had a wide array of desserts with the caramel flan being my favorite of the bunch. Overall, I really enjoyed it and was happy to taste the wide array of foods that they were offering. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here in the future. It was the best buffet that I have had on the strip and I have eaten at quite a few of them.

Sentiment analysis: I highly recommend THEhotel at Mandalay Bay. Yes, its at the far end of the strip, but thats okay, THEhotel more than makes up for it. The place is gorgeous! The standard suite lives up to the suite name. You have a living room, a bedroom and one and a half bathrooms. Let me tell you, that extra water closet is a genius idea when you have people over and you don't want them to see the girly bathroom you have set up, or have them walk through the sleeping quarters. Everything in the rooms though are luxe, but not frilly. I love the toiletries offered in the room, the towels are nice and fluffy, the beds and pillows are super comfy, and all that space is great. You know what else is cool about THEhotel? You get to use the Mandalay Bay pool, err, beach. The next time you roll out to vegas, I think you should stay here. It's a little more pricey than some of the other places, but well worth it.

Sentiment analysis: DISAPPOINTING!!! I read the reviews here on "R" so we took our family for dinner. It was very pricey but we had heard such good things we thought it would be worth it. Unfortunately, it was not. I had a $26 ribeye (sides are separate). The steak was flavorless and very fatty. My brother had a filet medium rare that was actually half medium and half well done. My mom had the spinach bacon salad which was ok. The wine list was way overpriced- $30 for a bottle of Kendall Jackson Chardonnay! We ended up with a $250 tab by the time dinner was done. Service was ok, waiter friendly but it took more than half hour to get our food. If you're going to have a nice dinner out and spend some bucks this is not the place to go.
