Four Seasons

Unique in Las Vegas is the a place to withdraw from all the noise and action. The Four Seasons is it, providing a tasteful retreat from the hustle and noise of the Las Vegas Strip. The environment is described as "graciously intimate" with no suggestion of gaming or night clubs. The Four Season Hotel Las Vegas is an elegant residence hotel that sits on the top four floors of the main tower at Mandalay Bay. It has a separate entrance with express elevators and separate check-in. The amenities, too (pool, spa and health club, parking, and swank places to eat) are also separate. Those who need to rejoin the manic pace of Sin City can quickly descend to Mandalay Bay and take advantage of its amenities, including the casino, restaurants, bars and shopping. This hotel has 338 rooms and 86 suites, all ap-pointed and equipped with the latest in comfort, style and technology.

The Four Seasons does not operate either a casino or a nightclub, but guests are invited to take advantage of all those facilities offered at the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino.

The Verandah restaurant provides a modern mix of California-style cooking and Italian cuisine in a fashionable milieu. Diners will enjoy such entrées as chicken piccata, seared salmon, or tasty and unusual choices for pasta or risotto. The beef Carpaccio is authentic. The menu also has meat loaf, steak and chicken pot pie for the less adventurous. The restaurant includes a cozy bar and lounge for drinks and appetizers. Two separate private din-ing rooms can be used as well: La Luna seats up to 10 people and La Sala will accommodate 24. Verandah also offers a very popular children's menu and is open for breakfast as well.

Charlie Palmer at the Four Seasons is an unparalleled dining experience with superb steaks and noteworthy side dishes. To accompany the entrée, the guest has a choice of potato prepared one of several different ways, including with cheese or truffles, and a butternut risotto with duck confit. Many vegetable choices are available such as wild mushrooms, sautéed spinach, braised asparagus, onion rings, and Brussels sprouts. Finish the meal with rasp-berry cheesecake or one of many homemade sherbet and ice cream choices.

The concierge can make a tee time for guests at the Bali Hai Golf Club, which is virtually next door. It is a nationally recognized tropical golfers' paradise located on the Las Vegas Strip. It is a world-class, 7,000 yard par 71 course.

The Spa at Four Seasons features Jamu Asian spa rituals. The image of Kuan Yin, the goddess of compassion, greets guests and symbolizes the manner in which Four Seasons staff supports the client's pursuit of relaxation and personal well-being. Sixteen treatment rooms are available as well as relaxation rooms for rejuvenating, a large steam room facility and men's and women's lounges. The Workout Room overlooks the pool and offers the full range of cardiovascular and strength-training equipment.

Near the casinos and nightclubs, yet separate from them, the Four Seasons is a prestigious venue for business functions. There are two large ballrooms, foyers and exhibition space as well as many breakout rooms and board rooms. The planning coordinators can help with arranging the flexible spaces that adapt to the client's goals and the technology to support all requirements for presentations and communication. Meetings up to 900 persons can be accommodated on the premises.

The outdoor pool and two whirlpools are located next to the Health Club. The expansive and richly landscaped pool deck includes chaises to recline and trellises for shade. Guests can order light meals and smoothies at poolside. The facility is staffed with attendants and drink service.
