What is included in the Mandalay Bay resort fee?

The resort fee includes: Property-wide high speed internet access (public spaces and in-room), unlimited local and toll free calls, airline boarding pass printing, and cardio room access for guests 18+.



In 2026, the daily resort fee at Mandalay Bay (currently around $45–$57 plus tax) covers several essential amenities that were previously charged individually. The most significant inclusions are high-speed in-room Wi-Fi (for a limited number of devices), unlimited local and toll-free phone calls, and access to the Mandalay Bay Fitness Center (though spa services cost extra). It also includes "airline boarding pass printing" services and digital access to over 7,000 newspapers and magazines via the PressReader app. Notably, the fee grants you access to the famous Mandalay Bay Beach, including the wave pool and lazy river, which is a major draw for guests. However, be aware that the resort fee does not include parking; self-parking and valet parking are separate daily charges. While some travelers find resort fees frustrating, the bundle is designed to provide "all-in" access to the resort's leisure facilities without having to pay for pool entry or gym use separately each day of your stay.
