As everyone has attested, this is a small, quiet bar looking serenely down on the Vegas Strip. In my eyes, this is not a negative. Its refreshing to be able to enjoy the views of Vegas from a public venue without screaming at my friends or avoiding preying eyes. There is a 3 star Michelin!! chef here with gourmet "bar food" creations. The drinks are as special and unique as the Mandarin is compared to the rest of the Strip. If you'd like to hit the rest of Vegas afterwards, by all means have the Mandarin staff bring around one of their Mercedes taxis.
