My family booked a room at the Mandalay Bay Resort through Expedia for $108/night. We were thrilled to get this price because it's an upscale hotel and off the strip.
The positives: Our room was large, clean and had two queen beds.Yea...no bed bugs, thank God. Shutter doors close off the bathroom and the toilet is separated from the bathroom. Inside the bathroom, there's a small flat screen tv on an articulating arm readily available for those who enjoy taking bubble baths in the jacuzzi tub. We could not hear the other hotel guests adjacent to us or above/below (nice thick hotel walls!) We enjoyed the wave pool to cool ourselves off as it was 107 degrees.
The negatives: Ugh...the wait we had to endure at the hotel registration desk. Be prepared to wait 45 min to 1 hour + just to get your room keys! Beware of the hidden fees they don't tell you about: $25/daily resort fee, and tube purchase ($22 large, $18 small) for the lazy river. Three margarita cocktails at the Mandalay Bar/Grill costs $45 (well spirits are not cheap at all in Vegas, really). The Mandalay beach where the wave pool is located is filled with beach lounge chairs and NO umbrellas - you have to pay to use their umbrellas (or lest you suffer under the hot sun). There was a private party on the first night we arrived and you could hear the DJ's voice resonating (I was on the 20th floor!!!!!!!!)
Overall, this hotel was nice and I'd stay there again if I got that cheap rate. I'm just bothered by all their fees!! A tip for you: If there is a private party in the Beach and you are denied access to the Beach/wave pool, request a refund of that $25 daily resort fee. They will honor it.
