A very lovely and serene hotel sitting atop the Mandalay Bay. It's so hidden away, the entrances can be somewhat complicated to find... Which is actually a good thing once you see the insanity of MB. (If insanity happens to be your thing, then this is also the ideal hotel for you -- since, unlike say the Mandarin Oriental, it's just steps away from the buzz of a top Vegas casino with higher-stakes games, premiere clubs and top notch restaurants... no walking really required.) The drawbacks are really only slight ones: rooms can be a little inconsistent since some seem to have better layouts than others even though they're different price points (a strip view room can technically have a less-spacious layout than a pool facing room) and the furniture is slightly dated and mismatched (American corporate meets French country meets Asian fusion meets some imperial Southern Plantation style). But, what are you gona do?
Service (on all levels) is impeccable down to the last detail (timing/promtpness, little flowers that come with room service, their intent to spoil you) and is also very friendly, but that's to be expected of any high end hotel. The thing that sets The Four Seasons hotels apart is their attention to the individual and how they handle any complications that arise... And they handle everything with grace and style. All in all, we'll be back to this beautiful green oasis in a sea of neon.
