Review for Casino Grand Prix - Vana Review For Casino Grand Prix - Vana Google User Oct 17 '18 at 16:46 I was at Mandalay Bay in September 2018. It was a beautiful resort. The room was nice, it was quiet at night to sleep and housekeeping was good. I used the wave pool each day which was wonderful. However, you need to get there early to get a chair. The resort had lots to do. One thing I did not realize until I was there was that it is very far down the strip from the main attractions. You can take the tram over to NY NY then the trolley from MGM down the strip. Or, you can catch the bus. While I really loved this hotel and would recommend it, next time I go I will be wanting to stay more in the middle of the strip. View full site to comment or like
