- Parked at the Mandalay Bay there was alot of open spaces and was able to park close to the elevators but being local and just going to strip area for the kids attractions its kind of depressing to pay for parking just to go and spend more money to let the kids play. They need to change this pay for parking your going to spend money to see something, gamble or staying the night and they just take more money just for you to park Just going to Shark Reef that's a 100.00 for 4 people now they want more money to park come on this is really sticking people where it hurts
