| - I really enjoyed my stay here this time around- Maybe because I went with the right people. You know what I'm sayin'? ;))) Plus, it was SPRING BREAK and Saint Pattie's weekend!!
ROOM: Okay, so I didn't book this room, my friend did all the planning and all the booking stuff and she was excellent in choosing this hotel. I absolutely loved it. Although our initial room was to have two queen sized beds there was a bit of a mix up and we ended up with a room with just one king sized bed. But, they were gracious enough to bring up an extra roller bed of sorts. We had the option of changing rooms, but we were quite comfortable where we were. The bathroom was quite spacious, a large tub (our temporary alcohol fridge for the weekend... LOL) and a standup shower, two sinks, large mirror stretching across the room and a private room for the toilet itself (so people can still use the bathroom when another needs to do their business!). We also had two closets, lazy lounge couch, great view, and a flat screen t.v. I was impressed especially since the beds and pillows were really comfortable. The maid service was just absolutely great, since we were a pretty messy group, but every time we come back- everything was in place and there would be new towels on the hangers, bed made, new champagne glasses, etc.
HOTEL: Loved, loved, loved their pool and beach area (to the MB Beach review!) and it' definitely something worth checking out. It's so nicely kept and it's just so fun and relaxing to be when you have nothing to do an the sun is out. The hotel itself is really grand, everything is embroidered with gold and deep colors to give it that rich and sophisticated feel to it. I also like that that they have shitton of ATMs around (I know being a casino and all), but there's a $4.99 charge on it. I rather walk down the street to BOA and use my own bank. ;) Sadly, although I thought it was a pretty nice hotel... It's not exactly the prime spot on The Strip so getting places can be a little tricky. Taxis were our mode of transportation, but I know not everyone wants to pay for it. But the walk isn't actually that bad, 15-20 minutes max to get to The Strip (trust, I walked it-!) BUT, McDonald's, Subways, Daiquiri Bar, and Panda Express is right across the street from Mandalay, great for midnight grubbers like me and my friends! :)
