This tropical-themed resort possesses the only sand-and-surf beach on the Strip. Besides its casino, the property boasts an 11-acre lagoon, a three-quarter-mile lazy river ride, 15 restaurants, nightclubs, shops, the hit show MAMMA MIA!, and Shark ReefHH aquarium (see Animal Acts), and the renowned House of Blues (don't miss their Sunday Gospel brunch). And you can take a monorail from Mandalay Bay to its sister properties, Luxor and Excalibur.
