Four Seasons Hotel
Posted on October 15, 2008
Back in 1999, Four Seasons took a huge gamble by opening the only non-gaming hotel on the Strip. This luxury hotel occupys the top four floors of Mandalay Bay and offers its Las Vegas guests reciprocal privileges at the larger resort.
Given the white-gloved service and understatedly elegant rooms and suites, it’s hard to believe that the hotel is in the same complex as the dynamic Mandalay Bay. Only a private entrance and quiet vestibule separate one hotel from the other.
In this luxury haven, hotel guests are greeted by a serene lobby lounge. The 338 luxuriousg guest rooms and 86 suites feature abundant special touches such as plush bathrobes, children’s amenities and L’Occitane bath products (Bulgari in the suites).
