Two years ago, when I last commented on this property, it had really gone down hill (What?! No bath salts?!). Since then they have remodeled.
The cleaned the halls and redid the rooms in a darker, more subdues color scheme. It's a pretty nice look. Previously they were going for a light, tropical, airy, and wicker-y look. Now, they've gone for a cooler look with darker colors and more comfortable furnishings.
The bedding is also new. It's soft, supportive, and comfortable. They replaced the fuzzy old TVs with flat panel, high definition TVs. They even included HD channels.
My king, non-smoking room had two chaises - one that's left handed, and one that's right handed. It was little difficult to type on the computer while reclining on the chaise, but I suppose Vegas resorts aren't exactly focused on business use. Even so, it was surprisingly comfortable.
The rooms even had clock radios that dock with an iPod. And they even fixed the issue with the hot water in the shower.
The internet connection was spotty, and I couldn't get a decent connection on my Sprint EVDO card. There were nights I was desperately internet deprived.
The had some funky looking lamps, but the odd thing was the change to the bathroom. They cut a hole in wall above the bath tub and installed frosted class.
So now, I'm looking forward to my next CES just so I can stay at Mandalay Bay again.
The white balance in this pictures is terrible, but it should give you an idea of what the rooms look like now.

I've never been to Vegas. The room looks okay to me though. :)
