Problem: Do you love fist pumping bros converging with several bachelorette parties? A siren going off every 3 minutes to let you know you're having a good time while a girl standing on the bar pours free shots down your throat? There are a lot of people having fun here. And while I laughed out loud at this ridiculous scene, I'm not all for it. Especially when I have to pay a cover for a place as crappy as Buckhead. Buckhead is basically a frat party, except people try to pretend that it's better than that. It's not.

Problem: I ordered a "Lamb Shish Kebab" that comes with rice. It was for $9.95. Give me some less rice, some less salad but give me good amount of kebab for $10? There were 4 small unflavored hard pieces of kebab. I didn't enjoy my meal. There was so much room for improvement, Had I ordered rice and salad instead of kebab for $10, I might have given it 3 stars.

Problem: Having to travel to Vegas for trade shows and regular business, I have never had the opportunity to stay at the Mandalay Bay. This is an MGM owned property and if you enjoy the Bellagio, you'll probably enjoy the Bay. The property is fairly run down and to put this in perspective, it's like sleeping in a smoky version of a Southwest jet. Here's a small tidbit of how customer service went: I checked in and was sent to the 11th floor. I call the front desk to verify I was put into a non-smoking room, they assure me it is and they'll have housekeeping put in an "ozone machine". The bellman brings my bag after 5-10 minutes. Inquiring as to whether I'm really on a non-smoking floor, the bellman says, "there's only 2 smoking floors and you are just above one of these". I need to leave, so I tip the guy, unpack and get out of the terrible room. 5 hours later I pop back in for a quick change. It smells the same, so I call the front desk. They ask me if the ozone machine was put in, and I have no way of knowing, but it smells the same. The x'fer me the Tina, the asst head of operations. (Tina should not be in customer service, perhaps the coroner's office is a better fit.) Anyhow, Tina says the hotel is full and basically "better luck next time" and she commits to get the ozone machine up. 5 hours later, I pop back in and the air is better, but the room is still old and gross. I try the front desk once more, but they say they are full and can't move me. Whateva'---I can resolve by not staying here. Back to the review: The grounds look nice and the pools and wave pool looked like fun. The resort fee is a "tacky ask" and there are literally no overhead lighting in the sad, dark rooms. I guess they are trying to depress you into dropping coin in their dark, shabby casino. If the hotel is crowded, (it was supposedly full on this trip), they aren't quite handling the capacity of tourists. People literally waited 10-15 minutes on elevators through the main elevator zone. The cab line was 20-30 minutes. The elevator piece has to be against code, but fortunately earthquakes in Vegas are rare. (It was an MGM which burned many years, ago). The check-in/check-out experience was better than the Bellagio, but it is really a generous stretch to call this a 2 star hotel. Tonight, as I wrote this review a pop-up occurred advertising the Mandalay @ $89/night. That's really cheap and given the fantastic view of the airport runways, probably a reasonable price.
