| - WOW - this is one place that totally lived up to all of its hype and more! You walk in to be greeted by several people, in very welcoming and warm voices.
You take the elevator up to the Sky Lobby on the 23rd floor with beautiful views behind the front desk. Every single person here was so polite and even though we had a mix-up, they took care of it all on their own, while seating us in the bar (the only one part of Mandarin Oriental I wasn't impressed by).
The room was absolutely lovely - we had views of the strip - but more importantly, the intricacy of detail and the use of technology made this experience one of the best ever (and yes, I've traveled quite a bit). The bathroom was quite large (definitely one of the items on my checklist when evaluating a hotel-room) and everything was clean, tidy and not overcrowding.
It does, of course, have a very East Asian flavor to everything, from the decor to the colors (red) and the patterns. I found the brown-red colors soothing and most importantly, relaxing and rejuvenating after a day out in the noise and crowd (they don't have a casino here)!
I have reviewed their bar, spa and restaurant separately.
