The Mandalay Bay pool complex is one of the best in town. Given the regular pools, beach, wave pool, and lazy river, there\u2019s a lot to choose from. You can elevate your experience even further by renting a cabana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Due to all the options at the Mandalay pool complex, along with access by a limited number of non-hotel guests, it\u2019s a busy and crowded pool complex, with lots of families and kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since I was staying at the W, I could book a cabana (#W72) at the quieter pool, accessible by W hotel guests only, while being steps away from the main attractions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The cabana comes with a fridge stocked with water and soda, plus a couple of dedicated loungers with an umbrella for shade and two inner tubes for use in the lazy river (more on that later), which I think normally rent for $30 each. The cabana also boasts a TV, ceiling fan, and safe for your valuables. The cabana technically seats six and I could have fit five other people, but that would have been a little tight. It would have been perfectly comfortable for four people. I was solo, so it was moot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Towel and food\/drink service were plentiful. I never had to wait long for an attendant to come by if I needed anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The full-day rental cost $375, but I booked it months in advance. Day-of reservations were going for at least $500.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I found the experience to be well worth it. I\u2019m the kind of guy who likes to sit in the pool with my book and have someone bring me fruity drinks and I got exactly what I wanted. When I felt like it, I took a break to enjoy the wave pool, which is a fun, unique, Vegas attraction. I also tried the lazy river, but I don\u2019t like this lazy river as much as other lazy rivers I\u2019ve experienced in other cities; the current on this one was actually a little too fast for my comfort. It wasn\u2019t really \u201clazy\u201d at all!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
