Mandalay Bay’s golden towers rise majestically from a fringe of palm trees like the lost city of El Dorado. The conquistadors never cashed in, but you can. Visitors with or without kids give high marks to the blissfully understated decor. Only small, tasteful touches reflect the colonial theme, such as plantation shutters and the occasional animal print. Bathrooms are large with sunken jacuzzi tubs, glassed showers, and his-and-her sinks. Shark Reef brings you face to face with the apex predator of the ocean. You journey through a fabulous sunken temple and undersea grottoes, exploring habitats that house some of the most interesting and bizarre animals in all of nature. Check out the incredible camouflage, rows of razor-sharp teeth, and surprising intelligence that gets these animals through the day without becoming someone else’s dinner. If the sharks don’t scare you out of the water for good, splash around at Mandalay Bay Beach. This outdoor, 11-acre artificial beach makes you feel like you’re at the ocean, without having to worry about Jaws paying you an unexpected visit. This unique attraction also features an outdoor stage that has played host to Tears for Fears and the Doobie Brothers. If you’re traveling with kids, watch out – this beach offers a topless sunning area.
