Delano is actually a tower connected to Mandalay Bay with it's own check-in lobby. The casino is in Mandalay as are the shops and most of the restaurants. The "entry" to Delano is under the parking garage so not a sunny first impression.Just inside the door and enroute to the reception is dark and really over scented with something wafting through the vents. The one bedroom suite has simplicity and quite stylish. It has a large bathroom + a small bathroom in the entry, very nice. No free coffee (or water) here.

Greeted by friendly staff at all times. From arrival at the taxi stand/ bellhop, to the front desk concierge, restaurant servers, hostesses, and the housekeeping staff. The lobby is dark but luxurious and sensual. We did not patronize the lobby bar but heard from our friends that prices were quite high. We arrived a little early and we were quickly offered the use of the Spa so that we could change and head to the pool at Mandalay Bay (linked with Delano). The room was spectacular - all done in white with some charcoal accents. The basic suite offered us a living room, huge TV on the wall, pay per use bar (weighted), the bedroom was very large with a king size bed and massive headboard. Best bathroom ever - deep tub, full glass shower, his & hers bathrobes, slippers, sinks, two full size mirrors, and a separate wash closet (toilet). A 2nd bathroom is also located at the main door. We really enjoyed a night of drinks and dancing with our friends at the Mix nightclub which is on the top floor. Amazing view! Even when you use the washroom! The only downside was the longer than preferred walk thru the smoke-smelling casino to get to the pool area. We could see that a separate Delano pool area was under construction, but this would also be accessed via the same Mandalay casino. My friends stayed at the Mandalay Bay and Luxor at the same time, and they all voted our room as the best choice.
