| - CONS:
They have this program called mlife where you can get discounted rates. It requires that you pay a percentage up front. I am a mostly cash on hand kind of person. Whatever card you use to make your first payment with is the only card that the application will allow you to pre-check in with when the time comes. Don't use your debit card like I did. A potentially long line awaits you if you do.
Check-in isn't all their fault...a major conference and the boxing match of the century was in town. It took more than 30 minutes to get to the desk, though. They should have been better staffed. I paid for my room with my trusty USAA credit card. As they handed me my keys they informed me that my credit card didn't authorize for double the amount (it should have, but I didn't argue), so they put an additional $300 hold on it. How tacky!? This isn't a five star hotel, and I'm not a teenager at spring break aching to throw the room refrigerator into the hotel swimming pool. I am a business professional. I guess by this policy you know that you are either in a budget hotel where they are prone to have issues, or it is a really upscale place with amenities and nice small things that might accidentally go missing. Let me assure you, this is the economy line of Las Vegas.
Next I was introduced to the elevator ride to my eleventh floor room. The elevator service is S-L-O-W and there were at least fifty people waiting. Again, not their fault, but definitely a design flaw in the elevator quantity & service. Luxor service personnel were in the midst with carts as well... apparently there is no maintenance/service elevator. I started looking for stairs. When I got to my room it was okay, but not equipped to break even with the heat of Las Vegas. The AC can keep up at night, but in the day don't stay in your room. There was an open bar of soap in the bathroom. I do not see anything in my room worth double my stay or a $300 deposit. Certainly nothing that could be carried out.
PROS:
The room was clean aside from the open bar of soap. Rooms can be obtained for near per diem rates if you reserve them through the mlife program (also see the con).
The maid service is friendly & accommodating, and the location is convenience if you have business in the Mandalay Bay area.
If you can deal with hassle described above, and you won't spend very much time in it, it might or might not be a good deal for you.
