| - I am a bit of a Las Vegas pro. In the last ten years I have stayed at fourteen Vegas properties, ranging from the standard (Luxor, MGM, NY/NY) to the upper end (Venetian, Wynn/Encore) to the elite (Four Seasons). Mandarin Oriental tops them all. What a phenomenal hotel experience.
The staff are all polite and come to you to see how they can help. There is no wandering about looking for assistance. There is no calling around or transferring for help on the phone. There is no confusion about how things should be handled. No one ever has that confused look on their face when you ask a question. Really an elite staff.
The rooms are clean, well organized, comfortable, elegant, sexy and, since it isn't a gaming property, relaxing. There are no morons in bermuda shorts drinking processed daquiris in a plastic guitar. There are no drunk idiots in Afflication t-shirts muscling about the pool trying to pick up south California tramps exposing their unflattering posteriors about the pool. The pool was comfortable and every 15 minutes we were asked if we needed anything and offered complimentary water to stay hydrated.
Oh yes, I said that. Complimentary water is everywhere at the MO. The rooms also come with a kettle and tea. The bathrooms were well designed and exactly what I'd like my home bathroom to look like. The housekeeping staff did an exceptional job each time they cleaned our room (tipping helps).
I have no reason to stay elsewhere, and neither will you once you spend a summer weekend at the Mandarin Oriental - Las Vegas.
