The first night we arrived in Las Vegas, we rushed to Mandalay Bay Casino Hotel to watch a show.\u00a0 Yes, you hear me right, the recent shooting happened here at Mandalay Bay Casino Hotel on 1 Oct 2017, the crazy gunman fire shots at the crowd who were at the music festival, killed 58 and over 800 people were injured.<\/p>\n

Originally our plan was to stay at Mandalay Bay Resort Casino Hotel but because of the recent Vegas shooting, we changed our booking to South Point\u00a0 Resort & Casino Hotel.<\/p>\n

Mandalay Bay is definitely a better location as it at the Strip.\u00a0 It mark the beginning of the Strip on the south side but about 1.3 miles away from Bellagio.\u00a0 Still pretty convenient if you were to take a walk to Las Vegas Strip.<\/p>\n

The exterior of the Mandalay Bay is dressed in gold color, pretty stunning day and night time.\u00a0 Mandalay is the name of a city in Myanmar, the second largest city.\u00a0 Why the name was used here at Vegas?\u00a0 Well, the theme of Mandalay Bay is “tropic” so I guess they selected one of the tropical country, Mandalay in Myanmar just to sound more tropical and a marketing approach.<\/p>\n
