| - Wonderful, 5-star stay at the FS. The property is located on the top floors of Mandalay Bay and to be precise, FS occupies floors 35-39 of the Mandalay Bay hotel. FS has it owns separate entrance, concierge, taxi drop-off, lobby, and elevators from the Mandalay Bay. The FS elevators will take you between floors 35-39 and the lobby (also where the FS pool is) and the C level (where you will connect to Mandalay Bay if you want to go there).
The hotel is tranquil and serene. It does not have a casino. If you're looking for a tranquil change from the usual Vegas hotels, the FS offers a good reprieve. As you would expect, there are no spring-breakers type of crowd here but the working professional crowd. There were also many families here with kids but no, the kids weren't obnoxious that they would ruin someone wanting an adult experience in Las Vegas.
The FS pool is small but it was never completely full when we there so there were always enough pool chairs. The pool itself was a 5-star experience. We walked into the pool area, the attendant looked up our room number and name in the system. Then he grabbed some towels for us and escorted us to the section and whichever pool chairs we would like to lie on. Then he set up the chairs for us and lined them with the towel chair covers. He came back a few minutes later with a pitcher of ice water and plastic cups. One day, it was strawberry-flavored water. Another day, it was lemon-flavored water. At random times, one of the attendants walked around the pool area and offered complimentary mini ice treats to help the guests keep cool. One day, we had a mini frozen pineapple on a stick. Another day, we had a taste of peach smoothie. Sunscreen and newspapers are also provided at one of the water stations. Another time, another attendant came by and asked if we would like some Evian spritz to be sprayed onto our faces to help us keep cool. Yes, please!
One of the plus points is that guests at the FS are allowed to use Mandalay Bay's pool facilities (but not the reverse). Moorea Beach Club (topless optional) over at Mandalay Bay is just a few feet away from the FS pool.
In true FS style, the hotel offers turndown service every evening. Complimentary shoe shine is also offered. Our room was clean and we enjoyed the fluffy pillows. I was a tad bit disappointed that this location does not offer L'Occitane toiletries like the other FS hotels but I ended up really enjoying the scent of the toiletries brand offered here.
We ordered room service for breakfast one day- just a simple bread basket and soft boiled eggs- and they arrived timely.
My husband went to the gym and used the steam room, though I did not. He seemed to have enjoyed it.
Wonderful 5-star experience all around and looking forward to return.
