Still, the overnight parking fee upset us. So much so that we actually looked over the website carefully (using our own wireless card, not the in-room WiFi) and did not see any mention of a $30 parking fee anywhere. The welcome email also did not mention this fee. When we complained to the front desk, they were very apologetic and tried to help us out with the self-parking issue but ultimately, they just removed $15 off from our bill.

We know most folk fly into Vegas so the parking charge will not be a problem for them but if you do drive to Vegas to spend the night at Mandarin, your best option for avoiding the $30 fee is to self-park at Aria. But you'll have to walk a bit to get to the Mandarin Oriental so drop off your luggage first.

You could also self-park at Bellagio, take the CityCenter tram to The Crystals and then walk out to Mandarin. Or you could park next door at Monte Carlo. All of these options involves some extra walking so you could just splurge at Aria or Vdara for a nicer room and save yourself the hassle. But we must say, the rooms at the Mandarin are pretty spectacular.
