| - A three-day holiday stay at the Four Seasons was thoroughly enjoyed. As much as people have said it, it must be said again that the peaceful atmosphere and polished service put the location far ahead of any casino hotel, even the highest-end of them ... with the direct access to Mandalay Bay giving you the best of all worlds.
While you are at the south end of the Strip, that it is really a minor problem at most. The center Strip is easy walking distance and frankly you are going to need some fresh air and exercise.
The rooms are huge and elegantly appointed and well-serviced. Front desk staff efficient, although we did not enjoy the early check in that other people have reported. (We arrived around 2 p.m. and waited for well over an hour to get our room.) We were, on the other hand, comped a 2:30 p.m. check-out.
Rack rates are typically high but there are plenty of promotions, as far as I can tell, so the value proposition can be superior.
The in-house facilities were typical Four Seasons excellence. Big, exceptionally-well-equipped (for a hotel) gym; speedy, consistent, and not-exhoribantly-priced WiFi, free printing for boarding passes, widescreen LCD televisions with a decent range of channels. Although the hotel does not have a "Kids for All Seasons" program, all the other child-friendly elements characteristics of the Four Seasons brand were represented.
Room service was reliable. The main "Verandah" restaurant does a very nice breakfast. Can't comment upon Charlie Palmer Steak.
