THEhotel is a 43-story hotel that offers about 1,120 suites inside Mandalay Bay. There is no casino, though one can be accessed through a long hallway. It is easy to forget you are even in Vegas with the sleek walls of lighting and modern art seem more at home in a chic New York City hotel. Elegantly appointed suites feature living rooms, wet bars and water closets. They offer plenty of space for families to feel comfortable. Modern amenities are in the rooms, including plasma televisions, DVD players and high-speed Internet. Cribs are available by request. Two restaurants are at the hotel — the cafe and Mix. Mix is a sleek French and American restaurant with a beautiful atmosphere accented by white-and-silver chandeliers and blown glass. Guests also have access to the restaurants and pool at Mandalay Bay. The Shark Reef Aquarium presents a large walk-thru tank with crocodiles, turtles and moon jellies. Typically, Mandalay Bay offers live entertainment shows, like Disney’s The Lion King.
