Eyecandy is always the go to bar to meet friends who are staying at Mandalay Bay...or if I just happen to be on property and need a drink..
Ambiance: There's mainly 3 sections: The bar, the lounge area and the dance floor. There's plenty of seating everywhere but I've still seen a full bar with nowhere to sit on a busy evening at Mandalay. However, people are usually staying for a drink or two versus parking all night so places to sit eventually free up.
Bar & Bartenders: The attractive oval shaped bar is designed to serve many patrons but they seem to always be understaffed. With that, service has been hit or miss through the years depending on how good the bartenders. However, if I sat "at" the bar, service is overall pretty good. Drink prices are typical Vegas "strip prices" $12++ and you're better off ordering an easy to make drink if it's really busy.
Dance floor: If you want to get your groove on, there's a dance floor that has created some great memories for me throughout the years. The DJ mixes music videos that display on the flat screens. They mix everything together: Hip Hop, R & B, EDM, rap, reggaeton, rock, etc...they pull the anthems from all genres and mix them together for the night.
This is a good bar to meet up to pre-game or catch up with visitors you haven't seen in awhile in the Lounge area. If you're drunk enough, the dance floor works as makeshift club to get down on. I've had some great memories here..and not so great lol but it's still a Vegas bar I've appreciated throughout the...
Read moreone thing i can remember clearly is JOHN ROSKA. When we were checking in unfortunately, he was the one who helped us, or should i say, NOT HELP US. He was very RUDE, and wasn't accommodating, it is like we are just a nuisance to him. Especially when we had some problems with our booking, and instead of helping us sort thru it, he even threatened to kick us out. Unfortunately, we ddn't have a choice but to just be patient, leave for a moment and come back on a later time to check in. Fortunate enough, he was probably part of the morning crew, and when we came back later that evening, we got helped by a very friendly lady manager and got it sorted out in no time. With that attitude, and unwillingness to help a customer and just being rude to people, John Roska should change his attitude towards anyone, not just guest as it is not a good image to this wonderful hotel. -our stay was nice, rooms are clean and tidy, hotel offerings for food was great. Pool staff was very friendly, other FOH staff was...
Read moreIt is tough to evaluate service when there is none, We did not stay at the hotel but were walking through the casino on a Sunday afternoon and decided to stop for a drink. We sat down and waited for 15 minutes and were not approached or served. There were people at the bar and tables who had drinks and were being served. It appeared that the cocktail waitress, who was watching a football game and chatting it up with one of the bartenders was far to busy to actually serve customers. (One other table got up and walked away) I believe the name of the bar was eye candy. The chairs were comfortable, the decor nothing special. After a fifteen minute rest we got up and left. I guess this place is doing so well that it doesn't need to actually...
