Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino

In Las Vegas it is about glitz and glamor and attitude and this tropical island themed megaresort will make you forget all about the flakey stuff in Las Vegas. The location for all Jazz lovers everywhere it is in the 'House of Blues', inside Mandalay Bay and it offers rock karaoke free on Mondays and opens at 10pm. Blues is Wednesdays and opens at 9pm it is free. Acoustic Strip is for the local artists on Thursdays. 'Purple Reign, the Prince Tribute Show', on Sundays and it is $10.00. "Ivan Kines Forty Deuce ", dancers perform burlesque numbers with a three piece bump and grind combo after hours start at 3:00am.
For the most fantastic and expensive burgers in Las Vegas, "Burger Bar", is the absolute best and opens Monday-Thursday 11:30am-10:00pm, Friday-Saturday 11:00am, Sunday 11:00am-10:00pm. There is a wide selection of meats to choose from, gourmet toppings, the freshest buns where you can make your own, create the ultimate burger because you make the selections. Remember Deep Blue Sea? Well, the "Shark Reef"will bring it all back to you and more when you view 2000 unusual aquatic animals with 100 aquatic species and 15 different species of sharks, adults get in for $15.95, children ages 4-12 for $10.95 and it is free for children under 3 and it is open daily 10:00am-11:00pm. Of course they have hotel rooms from sky high to out of the universe in pricing, so I recommend you come Sunday through Thursday and stay off the strip in the less expensive hotel and motel accommodations. I still have a lot more of exploring to do here and it seems that I've just begin, look forward to capturing all the happenings on film to show sometime in the near future.
