As other hotels in Vegas, they do charge you resort fee, room tax, parkings... 4 star.\n* Accommodation: spacious room, view of the strip. Keriq coffee maker in room with $4 per package. Free WiFi. Bathroom supply is generic. There is a wave pool, beach and lazy river for guests. The beach area is OK... Not much of decor and very crowded with many beach chairs! Make sure you bring your room key to swipe at the baffle or turnstyle gate to the beach area. 3+ star.\n* location: close to the airport but faraway from the main strip. There is a tram pick up at the Luxor to MGM. 3 star.\n* Motif: room decor is generic. Nice floor to ceiling glass window. Ask for the high floor room so you can get better view of the strip. 3+ star.\n* Service: front desk is nice. Check out is very easy via your TV. 3+ star.\n\nOverall, it is about 3.5 star.\n\nWe have stayed at the Mandalay over 10 years ago but did not stay there until now. Since the hotel is far from the strip, you have limited option especially for late night dinning. \nThe shark reef is pretty cool. Definitely, check it out if you stay here. The wave pool is a cool idea for family with kids but the beach area is too crowded...chairs are packed like sadine! \nWe did not dine here so could not comment on their restaurants."^^ .
