. "4"^^ . "Concerts on the beach yelp. I will do a room & spa yelp soon, being that I am in the spa commercial, I haven't been back. It's not that relaxing or comfortable when people keep asking if that's you.\n\nWhat to bring to a Concert on the Beach:\n* Beach Towels\n* Flip Flops\n* Comfy sundress or shorts & a lite shirt\n* Lite jacket (desert weather permitting)\n* $\n* swimwear (optional)\n\nTotally chill venue when it's an older crowd such as Huey Lewis or the Beach Boys, John Stamos guest appears. I also went to Steel Pulse which was a chill, younger crowd so I'd like to do more reggae concerts in the future! \n\nIf it's your first time, kick off your shoes & walk in the sand. Pick a spot you want to dance from or place your beach towel so you can see the stage. The stage is in the middle area of the water. \nIt's always a great atmosphere for a bucket of beer, which they no longer do. The drinks are good, expensive & they serve frozen margaritas & food. \n\nI like walking around the joint & mingling. Chit chatting w/ locals & tourists, singing together & dancing. If your feeling adventurous, get in the water. There were kids there swimming when we went. \n\nThe event lasted about an hour & a half or so. If you can't find a parking at Mandalay, head to the new convention parking garage that you can access from the main registration entrance & follow the signs. Easy! I actually like it more than my usual parking around the hotel to the Delano & MB valet/parking. \n\nSecurity is beefed up which it doesn't bother me to walk through the metal detector w/ my beach bag above my head. I've never had to do that so it was a bit awkward."^^ . "6"^^ . "8"^^ . . . "10"^^ . "2016-08-25T00:00:00"^^ .
