5 stars if you want to relax\n2 stars if you want to party. lol.\nso 3.5 stars but the Mandalay Beach saves this and makes it a 4\n\nIf you want to party on the strip, this hotel is not for you. It's on the edge of the strip and walking anywhere is a pain. There are no clubs in this hotel, just lounges. We drove everywhere.\n\nAt first I was bummed to hear we got Mandalay Bay as our hotel through Priceline. I was in Vegas to party for my birthday. But booking last minute on St. Patrick's Day weekend, this place was a Godsend for the cheap price we paid $90 a night + that stupid $25 resort fee.\n\nLOCATION\nPROS+++\n-At the south end of the strip so easy to get to from the freeway and onto the freeway.\n-If you are going anywhere on the strip, there is a back road you can take after exiting the parking structure. I think it's called Frank Sinatra road? It runs along the strip and you never have to sit through traffic. That made me super happy!\n-Parking is super easy. TIP! The higher up you go, the more parking spots and you can be close to the elevator. Also you can enter to park from that back road and park on the first floor if you make a right immediately once you enter. It's easy to miss that little pocket of parking spots.\nCONS+++\n-At the south end of the strip so you'd better take a taxi or have a DD. It will be a pain to walk and the tram doesn't run that late.\n-taxi line is a clusterf*** but that's expected at any vegas hotel\n\nROOM\nPRO+++\n-Bathroom was amazing with his and her sinks and a stone shower. The bathtub was huge. I could've lived in the bathroom lol.\n-The room was clean.\n-bed was sooo comfortable\nCONS+++\n-kind of dated\n-we stayed on the 16th floor with a lovely view of the airport :/ lol\n\nRESORT\nPRO+++\n-BEACH was awesome! Never had a hard time finding a spot to tan and the Pina Colada was one of the best I've ever had. It was RELAXING. Not somewhere you go to meet someone hot. I was a happy camper relaxing on the sand and enjoying the sun and breeze.\n-Older crowd and definitely more family oriented. I enjoyed it and had a nice vacation. I didn't appreciate this until I went over to MGM grand and felt eye violated by everyone\n-friendly staff\nCON \n-NO LATE NIGHT FOOD OPTIONS! BIG CON. And Raffle Cafe is gross blegh. Thank goodness this place has easy parking and is easy to get in and out of so late night munchies were easy to fix\n-$25 resort fee\n-Not a party resort and not the best looking crowd (con for some lol)\n\nI definitely enjoyed the resort to RELAX. But to party? You're better off staying at Wynn or closer on the Strip.
