Large, spacious rooms. Gorgeous bathrooms - legit so much space that me and my 2 girlfrands had an after-after party in here. With lots and lots of baked goods. But that's a story for another time ;)
Extremely far from the strip. Surprisingly a cab from Mandalay to Bellagio (middle of strip) or to Trump (the other end of the strip) were both $15. Not sure how that works/happens but it sure does add up! We tried walking to and from Mandalay and the strip a bunch of times but always winded up taking the Express Tram from Excalibur.
P.S. Right below the elevators is a convenience store that sells liquor all night! So you won't have to trek all the way through the casino with your heavy ass luggage into the connecting stores in search of that one little store that sold 3 types of liquor, like I did.
