Mandalay Bay 3/18-3/21

Just a short TR. This was our 3rd trip in 4 months The purpose of this trip besides the usual was to catch Spamalot for the reduced ticket prices and since MB was nice enough to comp us 1 Night and $89 for the next two off we went.
Got checked in easy and was in the room by 12:00pm. Got to get into there newly renovated Gold class rooms
# Floor to ceiling windows, his and hers lighted closets, pillow-top mattress, 42†Plasma TV, i-pod compatible alarm clock radio, desk area with wireless and hi-speed internet access, mini-bar, in-room safe, and cordless phone with dual phone lines.
# Imported stone floors and surfaces in bathroom. 15†LCD TV. Separate glass enclosed shower and bathtub. Twin vanities with make-up mirror and hair dryer.
# 550 sq ft
Nice room

Just some observations and no pics this time sorry
Border Grill have eaten there before but this time food seemed pretty bland
Burger Bar Looks like they made there menu smaller but the burgers were not as good as I remember sort of flavorless. After eating there a few times before do not think I will be returning.
Noodle shop was very good did a late lunch. Would go back.
Breakfast at Verandah@4 seasons was most excellent.
Got I day of pool time in and MB is doing some major work on the main pool area.Can't wait to see what it looks like.

Dinner @ Country Club at the Wynn. I heard the reports that it was very good and the reports are correct. Sat overlooking the Golf course and waterfall and enjoyed a Seafood platter appetizer that included Lobster,smoked scallops,lobster salad,oysters and Ahi tartare.
Main course was a filet cooked to perfection and Sally went with the lamb chops.
Then off to Spamalot.
As you might of read in other posts this show is great and I would go back to see it again. The crowd ranged from senior citizens to young kids and I would dare say everyone left laughing and feeling good. I would highly recommend this show to all. And I still can not get the songs out of my head and I'm not big into musicals.
MB is nice and the new rooms are sweet but just to far away.
As far as gambling played VP for quite awhile never had to hit the ATM and came home with $100 of gambling money still in our pockets.

 

Mesa, anytime you return from Vegas with money you know it was a good trip. We've always wanted to stay at MB but it is way down there and we're lazy people. Is Spamalot similiar to the movie "Monty Python and the Holy Grail"?

 

gmoney590 Spamalot is a comedic musical "lovingly ripped off from" the film Monty Python and the Holy Grail
