Every so often at Online Casino Project we like to offer brief reviews of land-based gambling destinations located throughout the world. Although we do not go into as much detail as we do with the online casinos we review, we like to at least shed some light on the best perks being offered and why such and such casino is worth visiting if you find yourself in its neck of the woods.

Thus brings us to our long overdue review of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. Most visitors to this Las Vegas Strip property will agree that Mandalay certainly stands at the top of the pack in providing an excellent overall Las Vegas experience. More than just gambling, Mandalay Bay offers the best in entertainment and relaxation. A great place for a Las Vegas vacation package, if you will, there are several features at this world-renowned resort worth mentioning.

The first and most visited is Mandalay Bay's pool. With real sand and surf, not to mention a long and lazy river, here is where you will find one of the best and few manmade beaches in the middle of the Nevada desert.  Just be sure you catch it at the right season, for the beach is seasonally open from April 15 to November 5. Keeping with the ocean theme, Mandalay Bay also has a spectacular aquarium stocked with dangerous reef sharks (Don't worry - they don't have access to the pool!).

The shopping is another great perk here. At the Mandalay Palace, visitors will find fun stores like the Art of Shaving, 55 Degrees and the Nike Golf Store (yes, Mandalay Bay offers reservation services at six championship Las Vegas golf courses).

For entertainment and booze, the House of Blues entrance is located dab smack in the middle of the Mandalay Bay lobby, while the Red Square represents the epitome of Las Vegas lounging. Visitors will also find some of the best boxing matches in the world hosted at the Mandalay Bay Events Center.

Last but not least, the rooms at Mandalay Bay are some of the finest to be found amongst Las Vegas casinos. If you would like to see for yourself, the Mandalay Bay website offers more information, including an in-depth virtual web tour. Visit them at MandalayBay.com.
