Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino

Mandalay Bay sits at the quieter south end of the Strip, giving golfers easy access to the city's top desert courses - including Bali Hai, Rio Secco and TPC Las Vegas - while still being a short tram ride from Luxor and Excalibur and within walking distance of Allegiant Stadium. It's a resort built on scale and variety, making it a strong choice for groups who want a wide range of things to do around the golf itself.

Opened in 1999 on the former site of the Hacienda, the resort comprises the 3,209-room Mandalay Bay Tower alongside two further hotels under the same roof: the all-suite W Las Vegas with 1,117 suites, and the Four Seasons, occupying floors 35 to 39 and the first Las Vegas hotel to win the AAA Five Diamond Award. The standout feature is the resort's own 11-acre man-made beach, complete with wave pool, lazy river and imported sand, plus the adults-only Moorea Beach Club and DAYLIGHT Beach Club for those wanting a more exclusive pool day between rounds.

Dining includes Michael Mina's STRIPSTEAK, Kumi Japanese Restaurant and the newer Mediterranean seafood concept Orla, while the Shark Reef Aquarium ranks among the largest aquarium attractions on the Strip. In the evenings, Cirque du Soleil's Michael Jackson ONE has run in its own dedicated theatre since 2013, House of Blues hosts touring concerts, and the 12,000-seat Michelob Ultra Arena handles the biggest shows and events. With its own beach, a huge casino floor and three distinct hotels in one resort, Mandalay Bay offers a genuinely different Las Vegas golf holiday base.
