| - Four Seasons, as expected, was fabulous and you didn't even feel like you were in LV (in light of the fact that there's no casino or smoking). We really enjoyed our stay here and everyone from the valet to the housekeeping staff were wonderfully polite and helpful. The valet staff even left us bottled water in our car for our trip home and asked if we needed any extra. The valet person that greeted us when we first got there walked us to the registration desk and made sure we were attended to before leaving.
The room was clean and fresh. We asked for extra towels and pillows and both were in ample supply. The decor was updated and modern, but still classic. We went for the least expensive room option and there was still a nice view of the Luxor, the mountains, and part of the Strip. Our toddler enjoyed the view very much. The TV had a lot of channels to choose from and the toiletries were from L'Occitane and smelled amazing. Turndown service included bottled water, which was nice and convenient.
The pool, being that it was a holiday weekend, filled up fast and there was a wait list by mid-morning. I think it would be nice if they had more shady spots as those tend to go fast but the turnover rate was generally pretty good and it was easy to change spots. The pool staff set up our chairs for us and sunscreen and aloe vera were both self service and complimentary, along with lots of iced water (that they frequently topped off throughout the day). It was also nice being able to check out the Mandalay Bay's pools whenever we wanted and there's a separate entrance (so you didn't have to go through the hotel if you didn't want to). The pool food was average priced for a resort but the serving sizes were larger than we expected. For example, the wedge of watermelon ($10) was literally 1/4 of a huge watermelon.
Overall, the FS LV is a great value for the service and quality and we would definitely stay here again. The crowd tended to be more families and older couples and less of the drunken/rowdy people found at other hotels/resorts on the Strip.
