Mandarin Oriental is the synonym to swankiness and luxury. The Las Vegas counterpart certainly doesn't disappoint. On the night of the 4th we were at the bar to watch the firework, away from the hustle-and-bustle of the strip.
All drinks here, martinis, cocktails--are $18 each. But you have to see the amazing view of the Strip through its floor-to-ceiling window. Tables line up by the plate glass and there are big couches for groups. Tasty Asian-style trail mix.
The scene is mellow. It's loungy, elegant, and swanky. Music is not too loud and obviously this is not a destination for the riffraff party crowd. You can actually carry a conversation here. I recommend a reservation here on weekends and holidays.
