Couldn't believe it when I saw Oxnard. Most people never heard of it except Johnny Carson used to make fun of it years ago. I grew up in Oxnard and the surrounding area for most of my life. There are very few hotels around the Mandalay Bay resort as it's kind of by itself on the beach. But just up around the corner at Channel Islands Harbor is the Lobster Trap and there is a hotel there and I believe a few more. Search for Channel Islands Harbor for hotels there. There are also a few on Channel Islands Boulevard which is one of the MAIN roads down to the beach and Mandalay Bay area so you should find a much cheaper room somewhere along there. Good luck!!!
