While money Mommy and Daddy enjoy some alone time in the cabanas at the Mandalay Bay, the teenyboppers can have their own private fun with the family charge card at the Shops at Mandalay Place.

Casino bosses certainly hope not.

But no one can explain how a transformer at an intersection on the south end of the strip caught fire last night at 8pm, leaving four hotels without power for 90 minutes.
