Mandalay Bay

Mandalay Bay sits at the far south end of the Strip with a large beach-style pool complex, a convention centre, the Shark Reef Aquarium and the Delano and Four Seasons within the same building complex.

The wave pool and sand beach, Shark Reef Aquarium and the Michelob Ultra Arena and events centre.

Mandalay Bay opened in 1999 as the southern bookend of the Strip's late-1990s resort boom, built on the site of the Hacienda. Its convention space later made it one of the city's principal business-travel resorts.
