I think that the Bellagio is better. But I guess it depends on you. If your young I think you'll like Mandalay Bay!!!! I loved it!!!!!

I've stayed at both within the last year and have good opinions of both resorts. Mandalay Bay will be less expensive, and during the summer months offers one of the best pool areas one the strip. It also has more nightlife, and if you want something a little more upscale, you can stay at The Hotel at Mandalay Bay.
But that said, Bellagio has it's reputation because it is a great resort, and they rate as the best service and best attention to detail I've experienced while in Las Vegas. They also get special mention (and I am not sure how they do this where all others fall short) as the only casino where I do not notice the constant smell of tobacco! And while the pool area is not as grand as Mandalay Bay, it is nice and quite a relaxing spot. Staying at Bellagio is also a plus if you are planning to see Cirque Du Soleil's "O" as hotel guests are privy to seats that are not available to the general public (just call the concierge once you have your reservation number). And while fewer quanity of restraunts, overall the food is better (and more expensive).
Both hotels are owned by the same company (MGM/Mirage), and Bellagio is considered the higher end location. In the end though, both are good places, and which fits best will probably be determined by the specifics of your vacation and what you are planning.

No way the Bellagio is way better. It's got this awesome italian design and the mandalay bay is cool but nothing compared to the Bellagio. Although the Bellagio is better it is also a bit pricier.

No.
Careful - pickpockets and soliciters are everywhere. Keep your wallet in front pocket for guys - and girls need a "belt type purse worn around your waist".
A thought to consider - if you want points, every casino has the "key card" to get your them. You establish a credit account.
They do a credit check on your, and they have your credit report.
Everyone knows what you owe, and every credit card you have, because when your name pops up for casino ID, they instantly have tons of information about you.
That is their "COMP" PROGRAM, and every casino has one.
If that is what you want, you will get just that.
No thanks, no comp program with my credit report advertised to anyone in any casino for me!
But if you want to have fun: Read on -
There are many deals at expedia.com and travelocity.com
lasvegas.com
There are casinos everywhere - so don't feel you have to lose all of your money at one location.
There are roller coasters on top of tall buildings.
There are white tigers on the first floor side area of the Mirage.
There are outside shows at Treasure Island.
Gambling:
There are many where you can lose $50 without even trying, then win $10, then win another $50.
It's easy to lose $100+ a day minimum, so if you're smart
you'll back away if you lose $20 - and try your luck another time, or another day.
Best location, and I stayed there January 2006, was the Mirage and it's next to Treasure Island, across from Venetian Grand canal, and down the street are Bellagio and the Eiffel tower.
You can walk everywhere, or take the bus when your feet get tired (very cheap).
Don't forget to lunch at the Eiffel tower - pricey but great, great food, and across from the fantastic Bellagio fountains that have themes - yes dancing fountains w/music when you're outside to hear.
Lunch also at the revolving restaurant -where you can see all of Vegas during the day - THE STRATOSPHER. The food was magnificent and you can see if you go at lunchtime - where the people of Las Vegas live and the mountains that surround it.
Las Vegas - I saw Jay Leno and he was non-stop for 1 & 1/2 hours of jokes, and we got the last 2 seats in the far section, and it was still somewhat close because the entertainment area was well done!
We went to see Mystere show - and the best is called "O" which means water in French. The stage actually opens for people to dive into, and then closes for people to walk on it.
So amazing.
At the end of 7 days, I was ready to come home. It's exciting, but not enough to say, wow someday I'd consider living there.
GOD bless us one and all, always.

I have stayed at both, Mandalay Bay is very nice but Bellagio is the bomb and the staff treated us like royalty.

It is a matter of opinion. Bellagio is more expenisive, but Mandalay has much better clubs, better food(for the money), and better shopping - no gucci or tiffany's, but cool stores like urban outfitters & fornarina.

Both are very nice hotels. If you are planning a summer visit Mandalay Bay has awesome outdoor pools.
The next time we visit I want to stay there.
