| - There are several 5 star resorts on the Strip to choose from, but Four Seasons is the only one that truly makes you feel you are away from the hubbub. From the moment you drive up to their shady port a cochere, you are transported--though their rooms are part of the Mandalay Bay tower (6 floors in the 30s), you enter from separate elevators, and have to walk down a connecting hallway even on the casino level. Rooms are classically elegant, smart but not stuffy, with large LG flatscreen TV, DVD player, incredibly sumptuous bedding (buttery sheets), thick towels, L'occitane amenities in the bath (separate glass shower & tub, private toilet, two sinks, makeup mirror), coffee maker... 5 star turndown service (but no chocolates!), two closets. Ipod stereo. Complimentary shoe shine service and newspapers. And a fantastic view straight up the strip. Airport noise is well muffled. Oddly, wifi is not complimentary... other than that, everything a hotel room should be.
Like its host property, the Four Seasons spa is low key and intimate, but eternally elegant. Showers here are above-average. Exercise room isn't massive, but is positioned with an inspiring view of an outdoor waterfall.
Though connected to Mandalay Bay's restaurants, Four Seasons also has its own excellent Verandah (recommended particularly for weekend brunch and afternoon tea) and somewhat uneven Charlie Palmer Steak.
They also have a secluded pool area, and I believe the property is pet friendly!
