| - This is not your typical English afternoon tea, although it's modeled on that concept, everything has an Asian flare, from the tea offerings, to the nibbles, to the decor of the wide-open space. On the top of the Mandarin Oriental, you get a breath-taking view of the Las Vegas Strip and beyond, in a tranquil and relaxing setting. The tea is delectable and the desserts and pastries mostly very good. It's a little strange how open the space is, but it works and you do feel like you are tucked away in your own little oasis in the clouds, away from the noise and lights of the casinos.
Afternoon tea is an experience to be savored, so don't expect to be in and out, but service was well-timed and the dishes came and went in a natural rhythm. Afternoon tea is also rarely a cheap experience and given its location, this is among the more expensive options. But for a special occasion or a peaceful escape, it's well worth the visit.
