Daisy K will confirm, I am not one to be thrilled by a membership oriented club, however, the Foundation Room seems to set itself apart from my general disdain of places like this.  The decor is awesome, funky, ecclectic, and perfect for a higher end, rock oriented joint. The artwork is all authentic, which sent me over the edge being an art history major (leaving the art history behind shortly after college however, to make a bit more money!).  Excellent spots for private functions.  Great drinks, great service.  SPECTACULAR views of the strip from the outdoor patio.

Monday night in Vegas? GO TO THE FOUNDATION ROOM... that's if you're lucky enough to get in.... If you're a guy expect to pay at least $30. Girls can get away with less, but if you want to wait a little less than be prepared to spend about $20.This club is AMAZING! I know this analogy might sound lame, but if you were ever a fan of the Osborne's... you might just like this place. Being at this club reminded me of partying at the Osborne's house. There were even fireplaces and couches... OH SO COOL.Our favorite room of the evening? The House Room... it had the best view of LV in all it's glory! Music was good, too... think Lily Allen House remixes... Loved it!  The hip hop rooms were fun, too...  one was overly crowded but fun no less!This place is now my second favorite to Tryst! :)

If you're 'someone' you've been here.Fun. Elite. Dark. Good music. Great balcony!

Okay so the view is great. I got in on a Thursday through a connection. The place was not so busy. I liked the decor. It was private and cosy. Just the place to take your companion. I'd go again. Video of the View:http://www.youtube.com...

WOW!  Not sure, but I don't consider this a dance club (except maybe Monday nights).  I love the Foundation Room for a number of reasons.  First, it is very "un-Vegas".  It is a great place to take clients, and is exclusive.  A lot of business gets done there.  Second, it is typically quiet.  When in town and not entertaining, I like to go to watch a game and have a great appetizer and drink in the video room. Third, dinner is 5 stars.  Not an inexpensive dinner mind you, but very memorable.  Yes, people get in on the "list" or "comped" up from the hotel/casino and act poorly.  But the membership is typically much better behaved.Mondays are the example of nights to miss, unless you want to mingle with that ...

Per my review of Mandalay Bay:A must, should you have the opportunity, is the Foundation Room.  The food - mmmm...my event was completely catered with incredible delicacies from Asian delectables, ribs, shrimp, and more to a the most lavish spread of goodies waiting to be dunked in the towering chocolate fountain.  Then there is the view......that's all that needs to be said...the view.  Comfortable nooks and rooms of historical enchantment suck you in and forbid you to leave.  It's totally chill and relaxed...hope you have great experience as well.

I thoroughly enjoyed this place.  After having dinner over at Mix on a Monday night, the wine sommelier (I forget his name, but he was truly a refreshing change from the norm in Vegas) offered to make a call over to Foundation to ensure that our party would be able to get in.  I was initially worried because our group consisted of 4 males - me being the only female.  Nevertheless, we had no problems at the door (not even a cover), and up the elevator 50 floors we went.Foundation room is very aesthetically pleasing, as it is decorated in an old-world gypsy/indian/bhuddist theme with lots of lavish fabrics and oriental rugs.  It was a pleasure to wander around from room to room and explore what each had to offer, and every room offered amazing views of the sparkling city.  The rooms are all located off of a long hallway, each one having a different musical theme.  We spent most of our time in the hip hop room and out on the marvelous balcony. The view, people.  You look straight down the strip, with the huge Mandalay Bay sign at your level just feet away in all its glittering glory.  The balcony is quite large, and there was ample seating for everyone.  The only negative thing that happened here was how some racist douchebag made a derogatory comment towards a woman right in front of us.  He would have been a real downer if it weren't for the fabulousness of Foundation room that made up for his idiocy.

by Kristin M.

Best club in Vegas!!!Outstanding ambiance, with alluringly seductive rooms with outstanding decor, each with different types of music.  There is also a decently sized balcony that overlooks the strip (how do you beat that?).The music (DJ) is just amazing and you can't beat the ambiance, it never gets too packed or stuffy like the rest of Vegas' clubs.  Hands down the best club!

"The sensor is like a clitoris.  Once you find it, you're all set."This was what was told to me by the bathroom attendant as I was having trouble engaging the sensor at the sink.  I had to share the story with my friends once I got back to the table.I was torn between a 3 and a 4 here.  The Foundation room is on the top floor of Mandalay Bay.  You need to be a member to get up here, but fortunately on our trip for NYE, one of our friends' brother had a comped meal so we all had dinner there for FREE!  FREE!  Ain't nothing wrong with free.The pain in the ass was that it took us 7 hours to drive from LA, normally a 3-4 hour trip.  Most of us weren't going to wear formal shoes.  Yet that was their policy.  Literally, some of us were wearing t-shirts and track jackets, but apparently as long as you wear formal shoes, you can get in.  As we got in, we saw the person at the elevator on the first floor preventing an irate woman from letting her and her "date" in.The food was pretty good and the service was amazingly fast.  The 8 of us ordered 4 starters, an entree each, and 3 desserts as well as several beers.  ALL COMPED!  There was nothing spectacular about the food but it was pretty good.After dinner we went to the adjacent rooms and walked around the dance floors.  The music was super loud and people were partying the night away.  We didn't dance as we were tired, but we did appreciate the fantastic views of the strip from the top floor terrace.Were it not for the stupid dress code (we had to rush back to our hotel to get proper shoes for our 10:15p reservation), I wouldn't be so torn about giving it a 4.  The service, comped meal, hilarious attendee made this a solid 4.

I spent this past Saturday night (my 30th birthday) at The Foundation Room at the top of The Mandalay Bay.  I couldn't have asked for a better way to spend my 30th.  It's a member's only place, but somehow my best friend made arrangements in advance for a group of 8 of us to go.  It was such a great time!The interior decor is stunning, it's cozy yet not crowded, the crowd is just out to have a good time (not typical Vegas cheesy or pretentious), the view is unbelievable, and the dancing and music were just perfect.  I had such a wonderful time here.  Next time I go to Vegas, I definitely want to head back.  This was by far my favorite spot during the weekend.

by Brandon S.

Great view of the strip from the balcony.  The environment is great.  The crowd is interesting.

Oohh... ahhh... a posh, semi-secret members-only club in Vegas!  You know what?  It's not nearly as cool as it sounds.  Imagine my disappointment, after getting onto the VIP list with the help of a local connection, but it's the truth.  (The Foundation Room is open to the hoi polloi on Mondays, or else there wouldn't be much point in reviewing it, would there?)Okay, yes, it does feel pretty awesome when you walk up to the unobtrusive podium in the lobby, murmur your name to the hostess behind the desk, and get waved through the ropes to the single elevator.  There's no need to punch buttons, because it only goes one place - straight up to the Foundation (ironically, located at almost the very top of Mandalay Bay).  When the elevator doors open, you're greeted with the kind of quiet, plush elegance that tells you you really don't belong.  The club consists of a series of rooms branching off to either side of a main lounge.  From the lounge, you can also reach the restaurant and the balcony, which really does have a stunning view of the Strip - the best in the city, if the hype is to be believed.  It's pretty spectacular, and so the balcony is always crowded with people wrestling between their desire to gawk and their desire to look cool and jaded.And yes, the decor is not only tasteful but actually beautiful - romantically dim lights, opulent Indian and Asian art and decorations, and exotic wood paneling and carvings.  Smaller, private rooms off the hallways are reserved for private parties, but a quick peek revealed low, plush couches and more elaborate furnishings and art.  The main lounge is where the bar is, but good luck muscling your way up to the front and getting served - and if you do, you'll find yourself paying $12 for a small drink that's mostly ice.  Yum.  A second, smaller room has another bar and (at least the night I was there) a complimentary hookah table set up on one side, with three hookahs bubbling away in different flavors.  Bowls of plastic-wrapped disposable mouthpieces were set out, so you'd just grab one and get ready to puff - an uncharacteristically free bonus in an otherwise insanely overpriced place.The music wasn't anything super-special - muted trance-house with a vaguely Asian flavor in the lounge, and more hip-hop in the smaller room.  But everyone is too busy looking hott and being way too cool to actually want to dance, so all there really is to do here is silently judge each other's outfits and suck on your expensive ice drink.  This is okay for about an hour, but then it gets old fast.I'm glad I went to the Foundation Room for two reasons: to see that magnificent view, and to have my illusions about exclusive members-only clubs demolished.  Yeah, it's posh and people are probably wearing outfits that cost more than my annual salary, but you'll have way more fun slurping $2 beaker shots and dancing to disco at Gay Corners, where everyone's allowed in.  Power to the people!

We were told that the Foundation Room was the place to go on Monday nights.  However, the night didn't start off too well since we had to wait in line (which I don't like doing) haha.  After we got in, we walked around and went outside to check out the view.  I wish it wasn't so cold outside, I would have stayed out there longer.  The view was amazing.  (check out my pictures)  We went back inside and had a blast drinking and dancing.  There were a lot of friendly people there which made it nice as well.  I definitely would go back!

Saturday night - After dining upstairs in the House of Blues Foundation Room, the BF and I wandered through this elusive lounge to check out the scene and to enjoy the view.  Yes, the view is absolutely fabulous.  With the Mandalay Bay Hotel being at the south end of the strip, it gives you a fabulous view looking up the strip.  And yes, we took a picture up there too.  With a view like that, who doesn't? While enjoying the view, you also meet the most interesting of people who are happy to invite you to party with them, and I do mean 'party' in all ways Vegas can be interpreted.The music was okay, and the crowd was interesting.  There was a variety of people, in terms of age and genre.  I can't say the same about the ethnic card though as there wasn't such a diversity at all.  We checked out some of the smaller rooms and danced a bit.  I wasn't too impressed by the cow who tripped over her drunk self while apparently trying to dance sexy and in the process stuck her heel into my foot. (And of course, I was wearing open-toed shoes.)  It wouldn't have been so bad if she apologized or excused herself, but she was so drunk and embarrassing that the guys around her were having a 'good' time with her.  Odds were they were both trying to figure out who gets to take her home 'cuz you know she was going to go home with someone, it was just a matter of who.  (If I were them, they both should have negotiated and both gone with her!)  The ladies' room gets crowded as everyone is in there fixing their make-up and you're bound to find someone, anyone kicking back with the restroom attendant.  I wasn't sure if it was a guest or a cocktail waitress, either way, she was just sitting in there chatting it up all night long. It's not that crowded on a Saturday night because you do need to be on the list or a member.  Monday nights are crazy because that's when they open up the doors to the public.  I would only return for the view, but that's about it.  Better music and atmosphere can be found elsewhere.

Foundation Room memberships and proceeds  support the International House of Blues Foundation, a charity dedicated to promoting cultural understanding and creative expression through music and art. Have fun and give back, sweet deal!The staff is top-notch, the food is amazing and the drinks are divine. And the view is awesome - GO!

The ladies and I came here for some bachelorette celebrating on Saturday night at 11:30pm. A coworker of ours put us on the guest list, so not sure how hard/expensive that would have been to get in. I was a little put off at first by the crowd... wasn't expecting an older, 40ish type crowd, and the area seemed small since there were a few private tables/sections that took up half the space. The view from the balcony was amazing, but too cold for us to stay out there to hang out. Claudeen worked her charm and we were able to walk around and get a tour of the back/VIP rooms thanks also to our boy Ralph. During the tour, we proceeded to meet some friendly brothers and their friends that just wanted to dance and have fun. So of course, we obliged and had a great time... lots of hilarious pictures ensued. We also randomly met Dean Roland from Collective Soul, nice guy and his friends were funny and just enjoying themselves. Unfortunately, I'm not a social butterfly, so I couldn't keep up.The other nice thing was that the place was carpeted, so wearing heels all night wasn't as painful with the padding. Music was okay, we usually prefer hip hop, but we had a great time either way and got to request a few songs. Most of the guys we met that night were super nice and gentlemenly. I noticed though it seemed like there were more guys than girls. And at least it didn't feel like they were staring. Luckily also, our bachelorette didn't get too weirded out with all the crazy stuff we made her do with them. =P We even had a few cuties help us pick our club for the next night too. Too bad they didn't join us, though. ;)

Because there is no ZERO.What a hyped up joke and the view is terrible, JFC, The Mix is right around the corner if you want a view.With all there is to do in FLV, going to the airport home is better than going here.

by Michelle N.

We love you Maurice!!!!!!!Courtesy of Maurice, my friends and I were escorted here Friday night on our club hopping tour of the Mandalay. We had just come from the Mix and I have to say that this place put the Mix to shame. The crowd inside were really nice and the music and the decor were great. My most favorite bit were the private rooms found down a long hallway. One was left open and unattended so we snuck in and savored the plush couches, chairs, cushions, piped in music and a view to die for. I was in awe because I have never been clubbing in Vegas, and this was a great way to start off my vacation weekend, and I will be recommending it to my friends.

We came to the Foundation Room as a part of a wedding reception. We rode the elevator up from the lobby of Mandalay Bay and it was a long ride, I knew we were going up high. The second you walk into the Foundation Room it feels like you've escaped from the crazy Las Vegas life downstairs. The lighting is dark, the walls are all upholstered with patchwork, and you're met with an enormous glowing Buddha. The room for the reception wasn't ready yet so we waited in the bar. The server's came around asking for drink orders and they were very nice and helpful. Shortly after we were directed to the room where the reception was. Similarly to the bar, the reception room had an amazing view of the Las Vegas strip and the mountains that lie behind. We were served light hors d'oeuvres- things such as baked brie with crusty bread, a vegetable platter, vegetarian sushi, hummus, and chocolate covered strawberries. A server walked around with bruschetta, ahi tuna, and duck skewers. All of the food was very good!In the reception room there was a full bar and the bartendars were quite good. Later in the evening we ventured out into the main bar and went out onto the balcony. I wasn't wrong when I mentioned earlier that were high up. We were at the very top of Mandalay Bay looked down upon the strip. It was absolutely gorgeous and we felt completely removed from the craziness below!I'd love to say that I will be returning here, but since it requires a membership I do not think that will be happening. If you get the chance to go, do it, it's beautiful!

by Hector A.

Its the BEST place to act like an ass and buy drinks for C-List celebrities, NBA players and cool peeps that are stoked and wanna party after you collect your winnings from the sports book. So the crew bets big on Oscar to lose and wins huge when he does, and takes the $$$ to the best view probably in all of Vegas. The drinks weren't that expensive, The music was cool party music that's ignorable and danceable all at the same time. Best time ever on a Vegas Saturday night or it could just be the euphoria of winning talking.... nah this place is rad.

by Lisa I.

Ugh so disappointing; especially since I had such a great time last time.Couple of things 1) If "locals" are free, why did my friends who are local have to pay? 2) When did it become socially acceptable for ppl to see a girl get finger banged in her butt? I know #2 intrigues most of you so let me explain. There were these 2 "girls" (should be more like whores but whatever)  who were sitting next to the door all over themselves. BTW a guy was there too. So OK they're making out whatever, but when you start seeing one of the girls spread eagle and start getting fingered in the butt, that's just nasty. I don't care how horny you are, you do not, I repeat, do not need to get fingered in the butt in public. That grossed a lot of ppl out, obviously. Made me and the group leave the bar for a while.The other big reason why I now think this place suck is the management. The guy who let us in the last time is now a huge d*ck.  A group of us were trying to go to another room only to have one of the huge wooden door slam into my friends face. Of course my friend tried to protect herself by putting her hand out but the manager said she was shoving the door open? WTF?! We weren't even there for 1 hr. None of us were drunk but got kicked out for "slamming the door". Would I go back here again? I don't think so. Only open to the public on MondaysIt was a nice place to hang out at especially since not that many…

by Hope D.

I love the decor here the private rooms and the view out the balcony thats all I remember it was worth the decor alone.

by Rafa D.

We were there Sat evening before the Madonna concert at the MGM across the way.  Classy joint, funky, eclectic decor, very welcoming, relaxing and chic.  I felt right at home there.The place was dead but according to the bartender, the place doesn't get going until 11p with DJ and dancing.  Surprisingly our drinks were well priced.  We've paid a lot more for the same stuff at other bars along the strip.  5 Stars for the view.  It is truly amazing. -1 Star for no "specialty drink" menu.  Although the bartender was creative with our request it would be nice to have specialties to choose from, especially since professional mixologists do an awesome job at combining unusual and unexpected flavors.If you go, try to check out the different themed rooms for private dining, partying, etc.  What a superb gem in Vegas and exclusive too.  They only let non-members in on Mondays.  Luckily I was able to get a temporary pass through my credit card for FREE....feeling like a big baller when I'm really not :)

by cal p.

If it is supposed to be locals night on monday don't ask me for cover. Its an alright lounge but I am not paying cover for the right to purchase over priced drinks. I left they can keep their liquor on the shelvesI have been there before its a nice view but not worth the hassle.

by Lisa N.

So amazing!  The service was incredibly attentive and personal - every suggestion was spot on.We ordered:"Twice Cooked" Mediterranean Baby Octopus with Crispy Potatoes Rosti, Marinated Radish Salad and Herb Shallot Vinaigrette - Highly recommended!  Baby Arugula Green Salad with "Fried" Gorgonzola Toasted Walnut Cheese, Marinated Cipollini Onions, and Crisped Parma Prosciutto - I'm not a fan of the fried gorgonzola as it's not my thing, but the balsamic cipollini onions were so flavorful and deliciously (not nauseatingly) sweet.Chicken Flatbread - Tasty but way too much carbs for me, I'd like to try the duck breast next time.Pinot Noir Mac Murray - a nice value wine. Not tannic and very smooth."ChocoFlan" - Espresso/Cocoa Cake with Silky Caramel Vanilla Flan and Toasted Hazelnut Nougatine - The Nougatine was the perfect foil to the soft flan texture.Um yeah, needless to say, I need to hit the gym.  HARD.

It is fun to people watch here ...People watching is a sport at the Foundation Room! I agree. you have to be in the know. It's definitely the place where it's MEMBERS ONLY!memberships are soo ridiculous in annual fee. That's no wonder you see 50 something men trying to act in their 20's.Ive been here 2 times. The first in August 2008 during Magic Convention, it was a Monday night GODSPEED @ Foundation Room Mondays.... It was lame I was so hyped up and NO ACTION. Drinks are standard. I had a Greyhound with Kettle One and my friend had a red bull something...The view was WOWZERS!!!!!! all I have to say. AMAZING view from top of the Mandalay Bay Hotel is magnificent. top notch at night.The second time I was here on a Thursday night in September 2008 with a few business vendors. OVERALL it's a snazzy place to be and be seen, the decor is very pristine, manor/mansion legacy decor. The dining room is lavish 50 seat table. Dark mahogany carved wood, leading to outdoor patio balcony. Heavy draped curtains leading to many secret rooms. Lighting is dim and red... very intimate. I like the wine lockers by the main elevators, classy.I will return if another invitation was offered. WHY NOT!? ;p

by Benjamin E.

My boy D and I hit up Foundation Room after a long day of work and sightseeing.  We were just looking for a relaxed vibe and a drink or two.  Luckily I had a connection to get us on the list, so can't really comment on cover costs.  The bouncer at the bottom of the elevators was cool to us and we got in pretty quickly.FR was actually smaller than I thought it was going to be, but then again I think there may have been some other (private?) rooms that just weren't open the night we went.  The VIP couch areas take up a good amount of floor space in the main bar area (especially if people are dancing in the free space).  But the view is great from the balcony and the drinks aren't too expensive.For the most part I enjoyed the crowd.  A couple of groups in the VIP couch areas who seemed to be having fun and were an attractive crowd.  A handful of cougars on the prowl, and your complement of single guys and gals with their eyes constantly scanning the crowd.The decor is very Zen with a large Buddha guarding the entrance to the club once you step out of the elevators and some great wall decorations.  The combination of serene decorations and mellow music made for an enjoyable couple of hours.I'd recommend people to check it out.  It's not wild and crazy like some other Vegas clubs, but that's part of the reason why I liked it.   More low key, mellow, loungey, than your typical over-the-top Vegas style club.  Most people probably wouldn't want to spend their entire night here, but it is definitely good for a couple of hours.

One of the BF's friends in Vegas was able to get us on this list for this amazing lounge. If you have the chance to hang out in the Foundation Room, go! It's an amazing experience. For me, the atmosphere of this place is what puts it over the top. The entire lounge has a very sophisticated Asian theme. The walls are upholstered in red and orange patches of mirrored Indian fabric. The doors are heavily carved and you'll see Buddhas here and there. The couches and chairs also provide comfortable places to hang out. The balcony offers an amazing view of the strip. The DJ was very good the night we were there. She played great music and kept the volume loud enough to keep the party going without making it so loud that you couldn't talk to the people around you. Surprisingly, the drinks are reasonably priced for a lounge like this. The bartender also remembered what all four folks in my party were drinking. I am sure she was thrilled we drank round after round between our arrival around 11:00 PM and when the joint closed down at 3:00 AM. I agree with others that it was a bit odd this place didn't have a speciality drink menu. Overall, this place rocks!

by Allison H.

My friends and I were lucky enough to get free passes to go to the Foundation Room on a Friday night. We'd gotten dressed up to go to another club, but when we stepped out of the elevator bank a promoter came up to us and handed us four passes for no cover charge. Although the club was a little smaller than I thought it would be, the view was fantastic and the drinks were reasonably priced for Vegas. You can see most of the way down the strip, and it wasn't too packed since it was still fairly early. Only one table was reserved, so there was plenty of seating in the main room, at the bar, and outside on the open balcony. It's not your typical nightclub, but it's definitely a great place to start your night at if you get lucky with free passes.

by Lee R.

If you get the chance to get into the Foundation Room, go! The view is fantastic and the experience is unique. The first time I went here was about 5 years ago. I have gone every year since. It has changed a little over the years, but it is always a great time. The drinks are good, and surprisingly, not too expensive.  It is fun to people watch here ... cause you can run into all kinds of characters. People watching is a sport at the Foundation Room!

by Chloe J.

Visited this place for business event. FR is atop the Mandalay Bay main hotel. This place is exclusive for members who spend top dollars to be a part of this night life society. FR is beautiful and you can pretty get a 360 view of the entire Las Vegas view which is breathtaking. Then venue itself has a dark/ gothic/ vintage vibe to it with an asian flair. The appetizers were pretty good during the event. I do plan on returning hopfully soon to have a better experience !

by Andrea C.

I was really excited when a group of friends and I were able to get on the list to get into the Foundation Room on a Saturday night.  While a couple of friends and I (both guys and girls) were waiting for the rest of our group in the Mandalay Bay casino we were given free passes for admission to the Foundation Room. I should have known there that they were desperate to get people in the door. My friends and I used the free passes to go up to the Foundation Room and wait for the rest of our party there.  I read some reviews before going, so I expected an older, more laid back crowd which was fine by me. What I didn't expect was to see people in flip flops and jean shorts. I understand not having a strict dress code, but at least have some. Yes, the view is really nice of the strip and the decor is pretty cool inside. It is a decent place to go to have a drink, in an intimate setting. In the end, I guess I was just put off by how "exclusive" it was touted then to see a whole bunch of people there in beach wear who got free passes.

by Tony B.

The Foundation Room atop the Mandalay Bay main tower is a very cool nightclub.  It is members only most nights but if your staying at Mandalay and your a player then contact Bill M in Casino Marketing and he can get you in.  For that matter if you are a big enough player wherever you are staying you can get cross comped.  On Monday nights the Foundation Room waives it's "members only" policy.A huge glowing Buddha greats you as you walk into the dark club with walls that are upholstered in patchwork.  The service is perfection and the night I was there with a small group of people there was a lot of action going on.The Foundation Room has one of the very best views in all of Las Vegas.A very classy club and a must visit for any of you Vegas Yelpsters.

by Miriam C.

The best part of going to Foundation Room is the SPECTACULAR VIEW of the Las Vegas strip!!! That would be a perfect spot to propose your woman too! Am I right?! I went here to a friend of a friend's birthday and she had her own separate room with bottle service and its wow! The decor is beautiful. I can't really recall how the music is - I was mostly drinking and socializing. I still had a great time.

by Dee M.

The Foundation Room Restaurant is for members only on most nights, however, the food, service and views is worth every penny.Truly, this place holds one of the very best views in all of Las Vegas.  The Foundation Room is highly recommended.

by Kris A.

Rating 4.5 starsI am digging this place. The night we went it was a Sunday night and the place was full but not overly so that you can't walk around the place. Lots of comfy leather chairs to lounge on, good music and a full bar that won't keep you waiting. The inside has dark and rich tones, lots of framed art- from the odd to the strange, decorated ceilings and lots of things that catch your attention. I like that they have some private rooms that is ornately decorated- seems to be a harem styled room-swags of cloth, rich decoration and lots of gold and reds. That night they had a burlesque performer...very fitting for this place. The main attraction here is the view and the lights of Sin City. The view is spectacular...amazing. I heard the Foundation Room seems to be members only but once in a while, they do open this place to the public. If you can, go...it is nice change from the big clubs on the strip and the views will have you appreciating vegas a lil bit more.

by Lori K.

Not my kind of place.....It's too dark, the ceilings are low and the walls and floors are covered in carpets and fabric so it makes the place seem darker, smaller and very claustrophobic.We spotted Charles Barkley...man, he's short!

by Meredith G.

What a view from the patio! That's what makes the $10 drinks tolerable. A little weird dancing on carpet with heels on... but it works. The decor is so cool and eclectic. Tons to look at. Great music playing and videos above the bar. I was having 90s flashbacks.Did you notice to private lockers for celebrities near the elevators. Very cool.

by Marc A.

Having friends in high places pays off when you're in Vegas and ones that have a membership at HOB's Foundation Room at Mandalay Bay are the best kind of friends in high places to have!The view can't be beat! Check out the entire strip in all it's neon glow from the super comfortable patio. The drinks are just what you would expect from a place that is membership only -- strong and tasty.The service is top notch. Lots of smiles and what can I do for you tonight.

by Matthew C.

I've been to Foundation Room on numerous occasions, mostly due to work. I'm more on the middle-line as I'm not a member, but if you can, I'd come here at least once just to see the gorgeous view of the strip.The atmosphere is nice, but as others have mentioned, it's too dark. It's hard to see your way around the place and I've almost walked into the women's restroom a few times by mistake. It's not as energetic as other lounges / nightclubs in Vegas, but it does attain a very laid back feel which is good if you want to go out and just chill. If you want to go out, put your purses around you and just dance; not so much.Can't comment on the price of drinks or food as I've gone in being comped, but from what I've tried, the drinks are full of booze and the food has been delicious. This is the part where I give my reasoning for the four star rating: the service. It's very top notch and classy which is a surprise considering I've been to other places here and everyone has been a gigantic asshole.

If you want to go out, put your purses around you and just dance; not so much.Can't comment on the price of drinks or food as I've gone in being comped, but from what I've tried, the drinks are full of booze and the food has been delicious. This is the part where I give my reasoning for the four star rating: the service. It's very top notch and classy which is a surprise considering I've been to other places here and everyone has been a gigantic asshole.Having friends in high places pays off when you're in Vegas and ones that have a membership at HOB's Foundation Room at Mandalay Bay are the best kind of friends in high places to have!The view can't be beat! Check out the entire strip in all it's neon glow from the super comfortable patio. The drinks are just what you would expect from a place that is membership only -- strong and tasty.The service is top notch. Lots of smiles and what can I do for you tonight.What a view from the patio! That's what makes the $10 drinks tolerable. A little weird dancing on carpet with heels on... but it works. The decor is so cool and eclectic. Tons to look at. Great music playing and videos above the bar. I was having 90s flashbacks.Did you notice to private lockers for celebrities near the elevators. Very cool.

I've been to Foundation Room on numerous occasions, mostly due to work. I'm more on the middle-line as I'm not a member, but if you can, I'd come here at least once just to see the gorgeous view of the strip.The atmosphere is nice, but as others have mentioned, it's too dark.

Very cool.Not my kind of place.....It's too dark, the ceilings are low and the walls and floors are covered in carpets and fabric so it makes the place seem darker, smaller and very claustrophobic.We spotted Charles Barkley...man, he's short!Rating 4.5 starsI am digging this place. The night we went it was a Sunday night and the place was full but not overly so that you can't walk around the place. Lots of comfy leather chairs to lounge on, good music and a full bar that won't keep you waiting. The inside has dark and rich tones, lots of framed art- from the odd to the strange, decorated ceilings and lots of things that catch your attention. I like that they have some private rooms that is ornately decorated- seems to be a harem styled room-swags of cloth, rich decoration and lots of gold and reds. That night they had a burlesque performer...very fitting for this place. The main attraction here is the view and the lights of Sin City. The view is spectacular...amazing. I heard the Foundation Room seems to be members only but once in a while, they do open this place to the public. If you can, go...it is nice change from the big clubs on the strip and the views will have you appreciating vegas a lil bit more.
