I would definitely suggest coming to the Mandalay Bay pool if you're with your family or kids. The crowd is much younger and more family oriented. That being said, I wasn't extremely impressed with Mandalay Bay's pool. All of the hype from the lazy river, to the intricately connected pools, to the wave pool I expected more. We reserved a cabana for the day so it was nice that we had our own space to relax and to not worry about us leaving our area without our belongings getting stolen or our chairs getting taken.
