On New Years Eve, December 31, 1996, The Mandalay Bay as we know it was born.  The Hacienda was imploded to make way for the grand opening of the Mandalay Bay Hotel & Casino in March of 1999.  The Mandalay Bay is a 39 story luxury casino resort on the Las Vegas Strip showcasing over 3,300 luxury hotel rooms and suites with a first-class casino, poker room, and race and sports book.

The top floors of the Mandalay Bay are occupied by the  upscale and exclusive Four Seasons Hotel with its own hotel lobby and valet area.  In 2004 a 43-story tower was built on the Mandalay Bay property called The Hotel.  Mandalay's The Hotel is an all-suite hotel with more than 1,100 suites each with a classy yet modern theme.  While staying at either Mandalay Bay, The Hotel, or Four Seasons, guests have access to all that the Mandalay Bay has to offer:  numerous restaurants featuring cuisines and themes to meet any budget or desired dining experience, casino gaming, sports betting, shopping, pool, spa, nightlife, and more.

Mandalay Beach is #1 hotel pool in Las Vegas featuring countless amenities including an enormous wave pool, lazy river, lounge pool, beach area, luxury cabanas, private swimming areas, outdoor gaming, food and cocktail service, and more.
