Mandalay Bay Beach is the most action-packed pool on far south strip.  The beach features a relaxing lazy river experience with or without inner tubes, a great recreational wave pool where you can body surf on the waves into the shore, and real California sand!  In addition to those amazing features, the 11-acre beach contains four additional quieter pools to swim in and two jacuzzi’s to relax in.  Try your hand in the beachside casino, have a meal at the Beach Bar & Grill, grab a drink at the Bikini Bar or from any of the red bikini-clad servers walking around, or relax in Moorea Beach, Mandalay Bay’s European-style pool experience.  If you want the option for an even greater resortist experience, you can rent one of their many cabanas, daybeds, bungalows, or personalized villas.  You will never be at a loss of things to do at the Mandalay Bay Beach.
