The Mandalay is nice, spacious rooms, comfy beds, clean and above average.
If you are looking for something hip for your taste, you may not find it here at Mandalay. Not modern anymore but Mandalay to me is like Tommy Hilfiger your once on top of fashion then other hotels get fancier like the Wynn. But hey staying here is a cut above the rest in comfort.
This place has pretty good attributes: an Event Center, a House of Blues, some Lounge Bars, a Shark Reef, decent restaurants. Has all your needs in entertainment and eats.
Solid 3.5 stars for well rounded experience.
