Life's definitely a beach at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. Located at the south end of the Las Vegas Strip, this 43-story "seaside" resort offers a free monorail connecting to the main Strip--in case you feel like leaving. But chances are slim. The sandy beach, wave pool, 20 restaurants, and 135,000-square-foot casino make this resort a great spot to spend your entire Sin City stay. The 11-acre Mandalay Bay Beach, complete with 2,700 tons of real sand, provides a refreshing oasis from the desert heat. The wave pool tops off the experience--and families, especially teens, will love the lazy river. With a beachside casino, the Beach Bar & Grill for a quick bite, and rental cabanas, you'll be tempted to stay all day. But you're in Vegas after all, and Lady Luck beckons. At the Mandalay Bay Casino, you can play your favorite games in a tropical setting of flowing water and lush foliage. The casino's race and sports book is one of the city's top choices for pari-mutuel wagering on all major horse-racing tracks. For a completely different animal attraction, visit the Shark Reef (surcharge), North America's only predator-based aquarium. This 1.6-million-gallon saltwater habitat features more than 2,000 sea creatures, including 15 species of sharks.
