Photos from Mandalay Bay Vegas

The Mandalay Bay tri-winger tower is massive and offers some great views up the Strip from its upper floors.

The Mandalay Bay interior offers a surprising number of relaxing water features near the casino.

The Mandalay Bay pool is among the very best in Las Vegas, with tight security to get in, and wall to wall people during swim season. A sand beach and wave machine are among the features.

The poker room at Mandalay Bay is small, a bit cramped and suggests that this hotel isn't taking the game as seriously as some of the big rooms up the street.

The sportsbook at Mandalay Bay is comfortable and large. A fine place to watch the game.
