by Stirling Spencer via google 2012-11-22
Of all the hotels I've stayed in around the world, this one is at the top! Service is exceptional...
Second to none. The rooms are stunning. I highly recommend a "strip-view" suite. Also, the food
is delicious and they'll make anything to order.
by Alex Torres via google 2012-10-13
checkin was flawless; facilities even better and the food served for breakfast pretty good. this is
the perfect hotel if you want something classy, close to everything in Vegas and without the
hassle of the casinos. also, the spa is +++

Rooms are very nice and modern with view on the strip. Hotel is quiet and calm for Vegas which
is good. Breakfast by the pool is also not bad at all.
by A Google User via google 2012-06-01
Beautiful touches in the room, and much better service than at larger strip hotels (including
turndown service). Great soaking tub with complimentary bath salts. Enjoyed the view with
afternoon tea service.

Loved the bar, classy and a great view. Food tiny....but to be expected.

Wow. Second visit. Â Superb hotel and service from top to bottom. Â
Special mention to the excellent check-in and attention to detail from Henry F. from the front
desk.
This place is worth the price of admission in every way. Â We will never stay anywhere else in
Vegas. The finest hotel I have ever stayed in. Â The service, ambiance, food is impeccable.

How is it I've never known about...
by Lawrence F. via yelp
How is it I've never known about this place? I go to Vegas all the time! I've even stayed at the
Aria right next door.
AMAZING.
The truth is, this wasn't the usual Vegas visit. I was looking for someplace extra special for that
certain someone, and the Mandarin totally delivered. The room, design, service, amenities, spa,
restaurants and room service...
The problem is, I may have ruined it for any and all future trips ;(

by J N. via yelp
I normally don't give 5 star ratings, but I'm convinced this marvelous property deserves it. Â The
rooms were simply perfect. Â The service was intensely good (but not too intense). Â Â The
bar off the lobby is a lot of fun. Â And breakfast in the restaurant, though ordinary looking, was
actually very very good. Â Best scrambled eggs in memory.
Location is good. Â Right on the strip, but not too deep into City Center (like Aria, etc.). Â The
location of the main lobby *above* the guest rooms is weird, but not especially inconvenient.
I applaud this hotel for still feeling very "Vegas," without having an on-site casino. Â
Our guest room was everything we wanted: Â modern, original, spacious, and comfortable. Â
The giant bathtub was relaxing (nice bath salts), and the two head shower felt luxurious. Â The
bed was the most comfortable I have ever experienced in a hotel room. Â The view from the
window was nice, though I'm not a fan of the full length-mirror placement right in the middle of
the window. Â The computerized controls through the TV for climate, windows, and lights took
some getting used to, but we liked it. Â Â Â Â Appreciated that this is one of a growing
number of hotels to offer free wi-fi (along with a helpful supply of cabled and plug-ins for
electronics).
Only problems we experienced are typical of ALL Las Vegas hotels: Â noisy hallways,
overpriced daily "resort fee", and pricey cocktails. Â Â All part of the Vegas experience, and not
so objectionable in a hotel like this.
If we can afford it, we will stay here again for sure.

My favorite hotel in LV!
The staff knows how valuable their guests are.
The environment is so clean and smells great.
No smoking and gambling in the hotel.
The rooms are absolutely beautiful with their great big deep tub and roomy shower. Such an
elegant hotel.
The only place I think of staying when I'm in the area.
This luxury hotel is top notch...
by Shirley B. via yelp
This luxury hotel is top notch top to bottom! Very impressed from the time reservations were
made to when we checked out. Yes it was pricey but so worth it. I can be high maintenance
sometimes when it comes to being a guest and the Mandarin Oriental spoiled me rotten.
I booked here 2 weeks advance for our mini staycation via online. I noted it was our anniversary
also. Check in was a breeze. Â Upon arrival at valet (the only way to park here) we were
approached by doormen, valet and bellhop. We were up at the registration desk in no time.
When we checked in we told them our names an they wished us a happy anniversary, not only
then, but throughout our stay. From every hotel staff we encountered front desk down to
housekeeping.  They must've had a  morning briefing or something  of who we were and
they recognized and acknowledged their guests. Quite impressive. I never had to lift a finger to
carry luggage, open doors, take elevators up and down..heck there was even a bench to sit
down in the elevator
Decor of hotel is modern, Asian influenced. Â Classy, clean and quiet, no clanging of coins and
ringing of slot machines, no hint of cigarette smells. When you enter the hotel lobby on the third
floor there is spectacular view of the strip on the side where  registration desk and tea lounge
5 / 34

6. lounge is. Access to your hotel room is from here on a separate elevator, you need your hotel
room card to use it. I like that added security for guests staying there.
Our hotel room was the Premier Room which is a step above the standard rooms. Â When we
opened our door the curtains were drawn and soft lighting turned on and music played
automatically! Whoa! The alarm clock on the end table controlled everything down to locking
your door. The cool bar niche had everything, the safe, cooler, junk food, drinks and display box
of different teas. Our bed was super comfy and you wont have a problem drifting off to
dreamland. Our bathroom was huge! Â Soaker tub with bath salts, his n hers sinks in vanity
area also had HD TV built into the mirror and the speakers were built into the ceiling. Â Also
there was a glass enclosed shower big enough for 4 ..it was really that large. Â Then there is
enclosed room for the washroom and toilet and another area for the walk in wardrobe area.
Our view from our room was of the modernized architecture of City Center and backdrop of the
strip. At night and during sunset the view was alot cooler.
Excellent service from all of Mandarin Oriental staff, every night housekeeping did turn down
service in our room...unmade our bed, replenish towels, ice bucket refilled, ice cold bottles of
water on each side of our beds, and  fresh flowers too.
After having our anniversary dinner a bottle of champagne and chilled glasses were waiting in
our room with a Happy Anniversary card courtesy of MO...wow nice touch.
So many little things that MO did made our staycation one I would repeat again!
Another pleasurable and fabulastic...
by Riza R. via yelp
Another pleasurable and fabulastic stay in MO. Though the hotel is not really centrally located
on the LV strip, nevertheless it is closer to the airport and a real hedonistic treat. Upon entry,
this hotel immediately invokes zen and classy vibe. I love the sweet-zen scent of the whole hotel
(from the lobby all the way to our room). This is an absolute treat especially after coming back
from a smoking Casino Hotel. This hotel is one of the few that does not have a casino on the
strip. Definitely no ordinary Las Vegas hotel. The hotel lobby is situated oddly on the 23rd floor
6 / 34

7. which is steps away from the hotel's impressive tea lounge and world class bar. Of course they
would be reviewed separately.
As for the room, it was a wonderful treat. Modern, asian motiff, hi-tech and chic. The curtains,
temperature and tv are all controlled electronically by the small monitor/clock on the bedside.
Oh lala. The linen, is a heavenly refuge: soft and smooth perfect to cradle your weary body. The
bathroom is roomy and sexy. Firstly, who does not love the very modern bath tub equipped with
bath salt and adorned with rose petals. The tub itself is also nicely located so you can enjoy
bathing and watch the small tv affixed on the vanity mirror at the same time. "Fancy indeed."
Secondly, the rain shower head in the walk in shower is just soothing and lovely. My husband
loves them so much he spends 30 minutes there. Thirdly, the separate toilet and sink is a great
idea for personal privacy while the modern double sink is elegant. Hoah! the cute jewelry box
filled with luxurious and sweet scented amenities.
Did I mention that they have the so called "valet cabin." It is located right by the door and it is
where you can drop your shoes for shining, clothes to be dry cleaned and so forth. This is
apparently to preserve you privacy and maximize your restful stay.
Furthermore, you must not miss out delighting yourself on the inviting pool deck, poolside
cabana and relaxing jacuzzi. All these feels right after a good workout in the fitness room or
treatment from the world renowned spa.
What a delightful place to stay in Las Vegas.
I am a bit of a Las Vegas pro....
by J B. via yelp
I am a bit of a Las Vegas pro. Â In the last ten years I have stayed at fourteen Vegas properties,
ranging from the standard (Luxor, MGM, NY/NY) to the upper end (Venetian, Wynn/Encore) to
the elite (Four Seasons). Â Mandarin Oriental tops them all. Â What a phenomenal hotel
experience.
7 / 34

8. The staff are all polite and come to you to see how they can help. Â There is no wandering
about looking for assistance. Â There is no calling around or transferring for help on the phone.
 There is no confusion about how things should be handled.  No one ever has that confused
look on their face when you ask a question. Â Really an elite staff.
The rooms are clean, well organized, comfortable, elegant, sexy and, since it isn't a gaming
property, relaxing. Â There are no morons in bermuda shorts drinking processed daquiris in a
plastic guitar. Â There are no drunk idiots in Afflication t-shirts muscling about the pool trying to
pick up south California tramps exposing their unflattering posteriors about the pool. Â The pool
was comfortable and every 15 minutes we were asked if we needed anything and offered
complimentary water to stay hydrated.
Oh yes, I said that. Complimentary water is everywhere at the MO. Â The rooms also come with
a kettle and tea. Â The bathrooms were well designed and exactly what I'd like my home
bathroom to look like. Â The housekeeping staff did an exceptional job each time they cleaned
our room (tipping helps).
I have no reason to stay elsewhere, and neither will you once you spend a summer weekend at
the Mandarin Oriental - Las Vegas.
I booked a room at the Mandarin...
by Michelle M. via yelp
I booked a room at the Mandarin for my husband's birthday weekend earlier this month. We had
a strip view suite which was super cool, super classy and super comfy (maybe a little too comfy;
on our last night we ended up heading back to the room for room service and TV at like 11pm,
instead of the crazy late night on the strip we had intended- the room was just sooo comfortable
that we didn't want to leave).
I had mentioned my husband's birthday in our reservation and to our surprise there was a very
yummy cupcake waiting for us in the room when we checked in. I love little touches like that!
8 / 34

9. Important details: I am picky about hotel beds; this one did the trick. I am also fanatical about
hotel cleanliness and this place was pretty spotless. Hotel bathtubs freak me out but this one
was so clean I ALMOST considered using it. That's big for me!
Basically, every square inch of this hotel exudes peace and quiet and luxury. If you are looking
for a strip getaway away from the strip, this is your best bet. It feels miles away yet is close to
everything CityCenter and the rest of the strip has to offer.
They have a spa which I am told is pretty great, a couple of restaurants and tea and cocktail
lounges. I am sad we didn't get to try the cocktail lounge but we did have a nice afternoon in the
tea room (see my other review!). Also, room service is really delicious!
We had a great experience but I'm knocking one star off for the unnecessary resort fees (which
is supposed to cover gym access and coffee in the lobby at some ungodly early hour?) AND the
daily parking fee- the hotel is valet-only and unlike every other resort in Vegas, you have to pay
for it. That felt wrong, and kind of annoyed me.
Really beautiful and a nice escape...

Really beautiful and a nice escape from everything else on the strip. No Casino.
Friendly service and neat design.
The GM of this hotel contacted...

10. by Sandy L. via yelp
The GM of this hotel contacted me after i mailed in the comment card regarding the
disappointing experience. Â He was very nice to invite us back to the hotel for a night on the
house. Â Â
However when we were ready to make the reservation (paying 1-2 nights + 1 free nights for my
b-day celebration), i was told the dates we want are around big electronics show (CES 2013), 3
nights non-refundable minimum stay is required and the rate is around $600-$1,000/night!!
Come on, this hotel is crazy....The dates we want is 2-4 days before the show while all their
competitor hotels are doing sales or at least normal rate. Â Also no one requires any min. stay
or non refundable crap..I have no idea where they get the guts to do this...
There were some businesses invited us back in the past after our terrible experience, they
usually did a wonderful job to win us back ...But Mandarin Oriental Las Vegas disappointed me
AGAIN, they simply don't mean to improve their customer service.
Thanks but no thanks Mandarin Oriental...i will never stay in any of your hotels although i heard
your group has many nice hotels in Asia.... I have high expectation since the chain is famous in
Asia.
Yes, the property is very pretty same as… Read more »
Our meeting was scheduled at this...
by Bill D. via yelp
Our meeting was scheduled at this hotel which I had not stayed at before. Â Matter of fact, the
prior visit to Vegas I didn't make it past the Cosmo so I didn't know for sure where it was. Â The
whole complex was under construction the visit prior. Â
I took a cab to the hotel from the airport and was dropped off in the front of the hotel. Â The
10 / 34

11. door man grabbed my bag and escorted me to the elevator. Â He selected the floor for the
reception desk.
I was pleasently greeted and taken care of at the front desk. Â I was also given an option of
which newspaper I would like to received each morning which was a nice touch. Â I was
explained the elevator situation, which was a little strange the first day. Â You do need your
room key to utilize the room elevator each time you get into it. Â I opened the door to my room
and was quickly amazed at it's beauty. Â It wasn't really any bigger than most nice rooms at
hotels, but the decor was perfect for the brand. Â The glass wall that separated the room from
the bathroom was something I had not seen done before and the entire room was ran by a
remote control. Â
Now that being good, it also created an interesting story. I got out of the shower, dried off and
left the towel in the bathroom. Â I was trying to find the switch for the light on the wall but it
wasn't working so I walked toward the bed to the remote. Â It was about 9pm so very dark
outside and my room faced the walkway between two hotels that was always busy. As I hit the
light I realized the switch i had hit on the wall was for both blinds to open. Â So pretty much I
was standing in front of the window without a towel. Â I jumped into the bed until I could get the
curtain shut again. Â I was only on the 4th or 5th floor. Â That night as I was walking back to my
hotel, I looked at where I would have been and it's about impossible not to have seen it. Â
Service at the hotel was top notch, and ranks with one of the best hotels I have stayed at. Â We
had a group rate for the hotel and it was still more than we normally spent on hotels for our
meeting but well worth it. Â The only reason for a 4 star instead of a 5 is that the hotel does not
have a casino. Â I enjoy some gambeling so for some this is a plus, for me it made me loose my
money at another hotel!

- friendly, professional staff

- beautiful room
First time staying here for my company's work retreat and it was wonderful! Initially I was thrown
off by the whole, check in at the top floor and 2 different elevators for rooms and the lobby,
strange but you get used to it. The staff was very helpful and provided great service. They have
a little welcome tray thing for you with tea and other stuff, very fancy.
My room was great, aesthetically pleasing setup, nice view of planet hollywood. Cool little touch
screen next to the bed that controls pretty much everything. My favorite part of the room was
the bathtub + bath salts, definitely a must use. You can watch tv through the clear bathroom
wall while in the tub too, so awesome.
What I didn't like was that there wasn't a plug right next to the bed on either side, had to plug my
phone in and have it not within arms reach :(. Also the remote didn't work so I had to control the
tv with the touch screen panel thing which was pretty annoying and slow. In the end just first
world problems that were very minor.
The meeting rooms are spacious and nice, food provided was good.

13. Great place for companies to have meetings, and good for those looking for a more peaceful
stay (no casino or club in the hotel).
High-class, Outstanding customer...
by JJ K. via yelp
High-class, Outstanding customer service, and Excellent attention to detail. This hotel sets the
bar high! Wonderful experience in Las Vegas & now looking forward to staying at other
locations. No casino but that's ok because it's walking distance to the Aria, Cosmopolitan,
Vdara, Belagio, Monte Carlo, and NYNY.
after 3 nights at the Mandarin...
by Carsten S. via yelp
after 3 nights at the Mandarin I had to stay another night because I was stranded in LV because
my flight back to the East Coast got cancelled. All I could think of that day was that I hope I
have to spend a fifth night there. Having stayed at several hotels on the Strip ... from the MGM
to the Mandarin, to the Wynn I have to say this is by far my favorite. It is in a class of its own.
Sanity, Service, Friendliness, Generous ... that is how I would describe the hotel. and Sanity is
probably that most important for me when I am in LV. I actually like the city (although I am not a
gambler and never have gambled) but living in a casino hotel (even the better ones like the
Wynn), they can drive you nuts with all the noise. The Mandarin on the other hand is quiet, from
the moment you enter the building you feel like you have left the Strip and entered a Spa
13 / 34

14. somewhere in a mountain retreat ... well unless you look out of the window and see (but not
hear) the hussel and bussle down on the street. So you can go nuts in the city but know that
when you get back to the hotel you will have your little oasis in the madness.
Service and staff were perfect. friendly and always there when you needed help. the rooms
where perfect. Â there was really nothing i could think of that I missed while I was there or that
was wrong. a fully perfect stay .... just too short.
Over the top treatment & over...
by Adrienne G. via yelp
Over the top treatment & over the top love for Mandarin Oriental!
Before we even got there, we were inclined to totally love them! Â I had called the Monday
before we arrived to ask about all kinds of last minute wedding preparations: from dress / suit
pressing, to champagne delivery, to cake storage. Â The Concierge was nice as could be &
made all the arrangements for us - I didn't have to lift a finger
As we arrived & checked in, the Front Desk overheard me telling our party to meet back upstairs
for drinks in the lounge before dinner & when we arrived to the Bar, there had been a table
reserved for us - how awesome is that?!
Room Service, Valet, Transportation, Spa Treatments, Restaurants, just everything was first
rate & we certainly took advantage of it all!
The rooms were a very nice size & the beds were super-comfy. Â Pillows were fluffy & hard
which is just how I prefer my pillows so I was in heaven! Â The bathroom was bigger than my
apartment & their Tea Bath Products were wonderfully smelly!
Bath Salts, plush robes & slippers, shoeshine service; everything on electrical panels including
a hidden tv in the mirror of the bathroom - this room was perfection incarnate.....not to mention
the spectacular view of The Strip from our room - we could see for miles!
14 / 34

15. Also loving the fact there was no casino & especially the fact there was no decades-old smoke
permeating the furniture & walls. Â Everyone in our party made the comment they wished we
had had more time to extend our visit & this is something rarely seen in our crew but Mandarin
made an impression.....
I've found my go-to Vegas getaway & can't wait to come back! Â How's next weekend look for
you?

It is a totally different Vegas...
by Joanna R. via yelp
It is a totally different Vegas experience to stay at the Mandarin Oriental. Â We booked a strip
view room for three nights.
Pros:
- Its the Mandarin Oriental!
- Beautiful rooms with everything you need...we could have lived in our room for about 2 months
- Nice location on the Strip
- The most comfortable bed I've ever slept in
15 / 34

16. - Huge bathroom and bathtub with everything you need
- A simple, personal check-in process
- Amazing, relaxing pool with attendants constantly around if you need anything
- Beautiful views from the room, the 23rd floor lobby and restaurants
- Personalized, attentive service from every employee you encounter
Cons:
- Old, ratty bathroom towels
- Part of the fun of Vegas is the action in the lobby/casino - there's no action anywhere here but
it is far more relaxing than any other Vegas hotel
- Taking 2 different elevators to get to your room - for an elevator-phobe like myself it was a
rough weekend
I love love love beautiful and fancy hotels where you're waited on. I also love love love Vegas. It
is a different experience to combine those two things, but we loved it.
I knew we were at a 5 star hotel...
by Mark K. via yelp
I knew we were at a 5 star hotel when we drove up to the entrance and the valet made sure all
four doors of our car were opened at the same time. The valet (Glen) then came back to us,
after we left our car, with four ice cold bottled waters on a silver tray. WOW.
When we checked in, the very professional and well trained front desk attendant asked me if we
had ever stayed at the Mandarin before. When I told her it was our first time-she stopped what
she was doing, looked me in the eye and said "Welcome-you will never want to stay anywhere
else in Las Vegas again." Â WOW. She was correct.
The standard rooms are larger and beautiful. When we entered I noticed a large glass plate on
the main desk. On it was a welcome note written in chocolate to my two sons with a cupcake for
each. WOW. Â Even though the rooms are stocked, a housekeeping supervisor comes to your
room soon after check in to see if you want any extra towels, shampoo, etc. WOW.
16 / 34

17. Your rooms are cleaned twice a day. WOW. If you need shoes shinned or a suit pressed, you
just place them in an area within the wall next to the doorway. They are then pickup up from the
outside and delivered back to your room later. WOW.
If you call for anything within the hotel (room service, valet, etc) that hotel employee will ask you
(I mean really ask you and listen for an answer) if they can call any other department within the
hotel for you and help you with anything else. WOW.
The hotel has no casino (there are plenty nearby) and that made it so much easier and pleasant
entering and exiting with our two young boys.
The bottom line is there is no other hotel in Vagas I have ever stayed at (and I have stayed in
many) that offer this type of service and quality. The employee training and standards here are
like no other hotel. I observed the staff often and I noticed  every guest was treated with the
same respect and professionalism.
All I have to say is-WOW.
My boyfriend met me and my family...
by Kristin G. via yelp
My boyfriend met me and my family in Las Vegas. Â My parent's own a time share at the (read
sarcasm) super swanky Tahiti Village. Â I wanted one night in Las Vegas to be amazing for me
and my boyfriend. Â
I started out looking for hotel names I recognized there, then started talking to some folks.
 Then reading on-line reviews.  We aren't Las Vegas people, we don't gamble, drink all night
or any of the normal Las Vegas activities. Â So that's what I searched for and I decided on the
Mandarin Oriental.
The Mandarin Oriental was perfect for us. Â You enter the building at street level, it's quiet and
17 / 34

18. understated. Â You take the elevator to the 23rd floor to check in. Â Everyone on staff we
encountered was amazing, everyone. Â The bellman, the woman checking us in, the concierge
whose name is escaping me deserves special recognition. Â (she is blond).
The room was amazing, clean and beautiful. Â The pool area was sheer heaven. Â My only
adjustment on that were there were some "lovely" ladies in a cabana who were subjecting
everyone else to their crappy music taste.
Here is our conversation with the concierge:
Hi, we want to have dinner shortly, don't have reservations, don't want to dress up more than we
are, we are from San Francisco so we are snobby about food, but we don't want to pay an arm
and a leg. Â Holy cow did she nail us. Â She found us the perfect restaurant within walking
distance, and gave us a few others to try for our visit. Â Told us about secret pizza. Â She was
absolutely amazing and totally got her clientele.
When I go back to Las Vegas, we will definitely be there again.
Highly recommended at right price....
by Alex H. via yelp
Highly recommended at right price. Stayed for weekend. Â Sex Appeal from beginning.
 Location is OK for strip.  On one side you are close to Aria, by walking outside and up and
over the walkway. However to South and across the street is kinda of the deserted part of the
strip save and except for Monte Carlo. Â I like to mess around and gamble but hate smoking.
 No smoking allowed = healthier. One day a hotel in Vegas will offer no smoking + gambling.
 aahh unlikely but I can dream.  Ideal vegas for me is hot women, good food, great pool- dont
need day club, Â sports book, place to do some social gambling, non smoking, fitness center
and great bed. This places checks all the boxes except for the gambling and sports book which
you need to do next door. Â I recommend you bring your own hot woman- which I did. Â
Room is nice, modern, I like the open bathroom. Â Prb not great for you kids, but you should not
be bringing them to Vegas anyways. Â Lobby is nice. Â Spa is unreal. Â Did day pass, and was
18 / 34

19. blown away. Â Well worth it. Â Also loved the fitness center. Â There is a separate locker room
from the fitness center which is on same floor but separate from the spa. Â Spa has its own
even more upscale locker room. Â I enjoy Vegas but generally do not like people who are
there. Â Either fall down drunk annoying people from LA who dont know how to hold liquor,
trashy element, old people smoking with oxygen tanks, folks with kids who ruin the vibe or
sleazy. Â Have recently started going to Palm Springs instead but I miss the sports book, better
dining and gambling. Â Point is, Mandarin Oriental has my type of person. Â Sexy, easygoing,
classy but non pretentious, outgoing but respectful. Â Hard to find anywhere let alone Vegas.
Even folks with kids knew the drill.
Close pick b/w here and Four Seasons. Â I would chose Mandarin if you want to gamble hang
at Aria, Four Season if you like Mandalay Bay better for dining options. Â Prices add up with
resort fee, so its going be expensive. Â Good deal if you pay 200 night like we did.

* Upscale
* Great service and friendly staff
* A quite escape from the Vegas mob scene.

* The 2 elevator thing grows annoying.
19 / 34

20. * Here's my real beef... They closed the sky bar all Sat night for a private party. I didn't know this
when booking, but received an email 4 hours later explaining it would be closed. Now, for those
who haven't stayed here, its a great bar to start or end the night. Great views and vibe. BUT, it
should be available for quests of the hotel, not booking private events that shun out hotel
guests. Having a drink at this bar is really part of the fun of staying here. It was a real bummer,
but we lived with it.
Overall a great place to stay if you want some peace and quite after the bars/clubs/ and
casino's. The valet guys are the best, and remember your name from previous visits. Had to do
the yearly Vegas trip, so searched Yelp for the best reviewed upscale hotel on the strip.…

The best hotel I have ever stayed...
by Jim M. via yelp
The best hotel I have ever stayed at.This is what i expected the Beverly Hills SLS to be but
wasn't. I booked a few nights here for me and my man to have a little downtime together. The
rates were reasonable so i figured why not? I flew down on Virgin, which is my favorite airline
(by the way) and we drove on over.First note, do yourselves a favor and park in the Aria self
park and save yourself 30 dollars. There is a split opinion on this since you are paying for an
expensive room, why not pay 30 dollars more to park? We did valet it the first night because we
didn't know any better but self parked the next night.It took us a total of 10 minutes from the
garage to the lobby. AND we were walking slow and drunkenly. Â When we checked in at
11pm, it turned out there was a problem with one of the lights in the room so they offered us a
free drink which turned into two drinks and several appetizers, all comped by Henry the
manager of the Mandarin Oriental (thanks Henry!) The view from the bar onto the strip is pretty
spectacular. Floor to ceiling glass overlooking the strip while having cocktails is pretty much the
idea one has when thinking about Vegas. Our room was spectacular as well. And they give you
everything (including a sewing kit) you could possibly need on a trip to anywhere. The cleaning
staff went above and beyond putting rose petals on our bathtub the second night, leaving little
accents all over the room and even straightening up the toiletries we brought ourselves. The
staff ,without exception was amazing. I wish i could have service like this everywhere we go and
20 / 34

21. i would never want to go home.
The freestanding bathtub and the rain shower were also amazing, and the coupe de grace, the
view while sitting on the toilet is one giant window from floor to ceiling.The bed is super
comfortable and they use frette linens which i love. My whole thing is ,the bed has to be
comfortable and it was. Â
It reminded me alot of the Standard NYC without all the doucheries that went along with it.
Because there is no smoking and no casino in this hotel , the vibe is very relaxed and peaceful.
 The food was good, but again, it was bar food. The coffee that they serve complimentary from
6 to 8 was okay but to be honest,i didnt have one good cup of coffee the whole time i was in
Vegas. At the end of our stay, i just had to turn on the tv and click on the menu and check out
without having to talk to anyone. How convenient is that? NO waiting in lines or watching other
people dicker over their bill. For the first time in my life, I might actually want to go back to
Vegas, provided that we stay at the Mandarin Oriental.
One last side note. You can hear people cavorting on the strip till all fucking hours of the night,
even from the 21st floor. But if you are in Vegas, than i expect you know this already.

The hostesses can be snooty and they like to watch you wait for a table although you can
clearly see there are plenty of tables.
Skip the table pomp and circumstance and just go to the bar, where the sweet bartenders will
wait on you hand and foot while you take in one of the most stunning views in Vegas. Â
The view is one reason to go, the other is to escape all the "Vegas" type bars. Â Hit this place
on a night with live jazz and you will get a film noir, NYC vibe.

22. What a beautiful hotel the Mandarin...
by Christopher Y. via yelp
What a beautiful hotel the Mandarin Oriental Las Vegas is.
I am extremely picky when it comes to hotels. Â You'd be hard pressed to find one that I wasn't
extremely disgusted with from the very start, but the Mandarin definitely didn't make me cringe
at all for the entire trip. Â I'm sure it doesn't hurt that it's only a few years old.
Clean, pristine, immaculately maintained. Â From the moment you walk in, you immediately feel
the luxury of this hotel.
The check in desk has an amazing view from Las Vegas as it is 20 some odd floors up. Â Nice
touch. Â
Amazing service. Â Our nice check in lady walked us to the elevator personally. Â Absolutely
unnecessary, but it's all in the details.
The pool is great if you want to get away from the typical Vegas pool party scene. Â An older
crowd, some with children, but still a nice, relaxing pool to get away from the hustle and bustle
of it all.
Exceptional rooms. Â The finest details in all aspects of it. Â The king bed rooms are definitely
for couples as half the bathroom wall is made of glass and you can only cover up some of it.
 Platonic friends beware.  But hey, it might lead to something exciting.
Had a stupendous experience here. Â They are even reasonably priced! Â Even cheaper than
some surrounding hotels that aren't half as nice.

23. What...
by Rachael K. via yelp
Occasion: Drinks with Rich
What I Had: Blue Moon ($8)
Drink Review: Blue Moon's a Blue Moon's a Blue Moon! But this was definitely my first time
having a Blue Moon in a tall glass with an orange slice.
Service Review: Good service. We were originally scanning for a table and couldn't find one, but
one of the servers helped us find a seat with a gorgeous view.
Venue Review: This is where the great majority of the 4 stars comes from. This was my first
time hanging out at a venue in Vegas (that wasn't a hotel room) that was more than 10 floors
from the ground. The Mandarin Oriental Bar is located on the 23rd floor of the hotel and has an
absolutely stunning view of the strip. You can see Paris, the Eiffel Tower, Planet Hollywood, the
MGM Grand, MGM Signature Suites, Bellagio, all of it all from this bar. Â
Overall Impression: I'm a sucker for good views. The view of Downtown LA is what sold me on
our apartment, and it's no different with the bar at Mandarin Oriental.

by Jessica I. via yelp
I like Vegas. One of the many nice things about it is the competitiveness of the hotel scene. I
probably couldn't afford a Mandarin in any other city, but here in Vegas, it's not even the most
expensive option. But it is the best. This place manages to be a wonderful refuge from the
noise, hustle and hustlers of the Strip while being right on the Strip. Don't get me wrong; I enjoy
Vegas, but it sure is nice to have a quiet place with no casino, no craziness at the pool, and
elegant and relaxing rooms. The best of both worlds. I've stayed at a lot of the best places in
23 / 34

24. Vegas, and I'll be hard pressed to choose anything else again.

Stay at the Mandarin Oriental in City Center!!!!!!
Great location, good value for the price, hotel staff made us feel like we owned the building -- It
felt like a private residence rather than a hotel.
TWIST restaurant was AWESOME!!!
After staying at the Mandarin Oriental...
by Anthony L. via yelp
After staying at the Mandarin Oriental in Tokyo and Bangkok I gotta say this was a huge
letdown. Â One of the great things about MOs worldwide is that they are pretty flawless when it
comes to service but the Las Vegas outpost is clearly slacking (like all multinational brands in
vegas, the quality is just generally lower).
I have tried two rooms here - the Mandarin Suite and a standard Strip view room. Â The
Mandarin suite was nice but the main stereo system didn't have an iPod dock. They sent up an
engineer to figure it out and he was unable to do so. Â Maybe this seems a bit trifling, but for
15k a night I would expect that they could cover a basic amenity like an iphone plugin... we
were forced to listen to a frank sinatra CD on repeat.  In general I was surprised  at how
unaccommodating the staff was, particularly given we were staying at the most lavish room they
had...
24 / 34

25. The standard strip view rooms also have my biggest pet peeves in hotel rooms: Bathrooms with
giant windows into the main bedroom. Â I HATE THAT. It is literally impossible to have any
privacy if you are staying with someone - you can see directly into the shower AND the toilet
and there is no way to obfuscate the view.
The food quality (Room Service, Poolside, and the MOzen resto) was generally pretty meh too.
 Service was slow and inattentive at just about every facility - the front desk, the pool, the
bellmen... I felt like I had to flag down people just to get them to do basic things.
Not everything was negative, though -
1) The pool is a welcome respite from the Las Vegas scene - generally not very crowded, no
music blaring, no kids, no tatted-up bros.
2) No casino. Â its awesome to just walk into a hotel and not have to navigate a maze of slot
machines and rednecks.
3) The lobby bar - incredible views and good drinks.
My rec: stay here if you are alone on business - easy in and out and tranquil setting. Â If you
want a lavish vegas experience, the Wynn/Encore are still the hotel to beat in my view.
Was in Las Vegas for a business...
by El R. via yelp
Was in Las Vegas for a business trip last week and I can't stand Las Vegas. Grimy, dirty and
sleazy city. But the Mandarin was the absolute highlight of the trip. 1st class hotel all the way
around and made the trip passable.
You cannot get a better experience than what this hotel offers. Service, decor, food, staff and
amenities are all world class.
25 / 34

26. We stayed at the Mandarin last...
by Dave K. via yelp
We stayed at the Mandarin last summer and it was outstanding. This time we had a strip view
suite and it wasn't the quiet oasis in Vegas we liked last time. The strip view suite on the 14th
floor is noisy late into the night due to Las Vegas Blvd. Nothing the hotel can do about this, but
the sound of music, cars, and motorcycles really impacted our sleep. The strip view suites are
also smaller than the cityscape suites which overlook the Aria/City Center (and those are quiet).
So save the $$ and avoid the strip view suites, go with the cityscape suites which are also
larger. The staff was friendly but there were some issues during our stay. Even the best hotels
will have minor issues, so I'm not going into them. But the Mandarin does compete with the
cheaper Wynn Encore, so they really need to execute as the Encore is also very nice.
Best hotel I've stayed in to date!...
by Deanna J. via yelp
Best hotel I've stayed in to date! Â The service way above par. Â It's very relaxing and zen
inside, which I wouldn't have assumed since it is in Las Vegas. Â The bathroom is decorated
with top notch high quality products. Â The TV behind the mirror in the bathroom earned this
place it's 5th star! Â I've never seen a hotel with that.I love that it has a separate elevator for
hotel guests from the elevator which transports one from the street level to the main lobby,
which is on the 23rd floor. Â At first it seemed inconvenient, but it definitely seems to cut down
on unwanted people wondering throughout the hotel. Â The staff treats you with the utmost
respect. Â They ask for your first and last name, and then address you with Mr. or Ms. then your
surname throughout the rest of their conversation with you. Â Makes you feel very special.

by Titus O. via yelp
Unbelievable. Â Most awesome hotel I've ever stayed at. Â Everything is immaculate and
tastefully done. Â Stayed in one of the corner suites and the 270 degree view is amazing. Â The
service here is unparalleled and everyone really goes above and beyond to make sure you
enjoy your stay. Â
House car has newspapers and magazines and bottled water prepared nicely for you. Â Not
sure how far it drives out, but at least anywhere on the strip.
I don't usually take baths, but when I do, I prefer this humongous bathroom with an awesome
view. Â and maybe some of their bath salts.
4.5 stars.
Stunning hotel,...
by JJ L. via yelp
4.5 stars.
Stunning hotel, a true sanctuary from the Vegas madness. Any hotel can give you the action in
Vegas. Few can give you the chance, after the action, to come back to peace (the other, I would
say, is the Westin, but it's a bit run down now).
27 / 34

28. New, clean. Fantastic food as well at any of the restaurants in the hotel. Heck,even at
conferences I have been to here, the food for the lunches (mass lunch served for 100+ people
where you usually expect the quality to be weak), the food is excellent.
The only reason it loses a half star: (1) snooty guests tend to stay here which is annoying (I
guess it's better than the rich princelings that stay at the wynn tower suites) (2) getting a cab
can sometimes take forever (3) while it is a break from the clubs and gambling, if you get the
itch to have either, it is not an easy "around the corner" sort of thing.
Overall, this is probably my favorite hotel in Vegas.
First time staying at the Mandarin...
by Claire M. via yelp
First time staying at the Mandarin and it is, by far, the nicest hotel on the strip (except maybe
the crazy priced rooms in other hotels). I mean, they clean your room twice a day! I wasn't
expecting them the second time, so I left a mess with all my makeup/hair stuff in the bathroom. I
come back in after they cleaned the second time and they organized all my stuff on the
bathroom counter! (and it was all still there, yay!). I mean service is just over the top.
Went with the boyfriend for three nights. Upgraded to a suite for an extra $150/night and it was
worth it. I got a view of the strip and wasn't disappointed. The room was immaculate, love the
styling, everything was so clean and polished, superb. The ONLY down side was that our room
had a bathroom with only fogged out glass. So if you are staying with someone you aren't
extremely comfortable with, that might be a little awkward. I mean I'm comfortable w/ my bf, but
it's strange they didn't include soundproofing/ventilation in a closed-off bathroom.
The service people from the front desk to the guy who holds the door open for you at the pool
were outstanding, professional, and over-the-top friendly. Boyfriend and I got room service. I
loved their homemade yogurt and fruit, he got some huge breakfast that he seemed to really
enjoy too. I believe it to almost be worth the extra cost of room service!
28 / 34

29. Spent one day at the pool, service was excellent and they make a good drink ;) The pool area
was fairly small, but there were enough seats for everyone when we were there (weekend/100+
degrees).
It doesn't have a casino and is very quiet. If you go to Vegas looking for a cheap room and a
crazy party, this isn't the hotel for you. My boyfriend and I are young (20s) and we saw some
other young people there too. But the clientele do seem older, professional, and classy
compared to um...other parts of Vegas.
That being said, would definitely stay here again!
Wow.
I've had the pleasure...
by Frances P D. via yelp
Wow.
I've had the pleasure and luxury of staying here thanks to my company. I've never heard of this
hotel before so I wasn't sure what to expect. Upon entering, you're greeted and directed to the
elevator to the 23rd floor where the front desk is actually located. This makes for a nice private
entry away from bustling traffic.. however you wouldn't experience that if it was on the 1st floor
because the entry is enclosed as well.
I arrived at 12pm which is way before check-in time (3pm) and was offered complimentary cold
towels to freshen up. The hostess also showed me to the spa/fitness center/pool (located on the
8th floor) while our room was being prepared. By 12:20pm, the hostess called me on my cell
phone to let me know our room was ready. (So quick!)
The room... As soon as you walk in, the curtains open automatically and the lights turn on. I
walked to the TV and noticed my name was in the top left corner! I was surprised at how they
really personalized the trip for me. The ice bucket was already filled with ice (and no it was not
29 / 34

30. left over from the previous stay). The bellman even took the time to show us all the
switches/bells/whistles and how the valet service works.
Mandarin Oriental and staff have done a great job in spoiling me.. and it'll be hard expecting
anything less at other hotels in Las Vegas.
Twist by Pierre is awesome too!
An elegant seat in the elevator?!...
by Maria R. via yelp
An elegant seat in the elevator?! Wow! This was my first indication this hotel was special.
Lil cuz and I were wandering the strip in the wee hours and after being wowed @ the
Cosmopolitan, we decided to visit the Mandarin Oriental. It was a little tricky to find the
entrance... a plus, I decided, if you wanted to get away from the hustle and bustle and keep the
huge crowds out.
We entered the lobby in the first floor and admired the beautiful couches and vases... very
elegant. Seeing not much else to do, we decided to take a ride up the elevator. It only went up
to certain places... another plus - nice and private! Upon entering the elevator, we spied the
seat and looked at each other in awe (we don't get out much.)
After the most comfie elevator ride ever, we went to the place that holds the MOzen tea room.
We cruised down the hallway... more gorgeous oriental decoration in the form of lovely frames
and vases. This place is seriously like walking through a museum... very beautiful. We slipped
into the bathroom before venturing further... wow! The view in the frikkin bathroom is
spectacular! There were washcloths artfully piled by the cool, artsy sink. Most luxurious
bathroom I've been to, definitely... made my b-room @ the Flamingo look crappy (sorry!) and so
sub-par, hehe.
We popped into the elevator again and went into the only other floor we could visit w/o a key. I
30 / 34

31. guess this was the place w/ the conference rooms. The ceiling was full of brilliant bubbles of
light! It was gorgeous and my lil cuz took a bunch of pics.
Now, for all the beautiful-ness (sp?), I have to agree w/ my cuz... it was kind of eerie! There was
very soft Asian classical music playing in the background, and not a soul in sight. I almost felt
like I was in one of those Japanese horror movies and the lady with the long black hair was
going to follow me into the elevator. I could tell my cousin was a little scared too, so of course, I
hid in the computer room and only came out when her voice calling my name started getting
frantic. :D Ah, family.
I still would totally love to stay here one day! I can't wait to see what the rooms are like... I guess
I would just have to sprint down the halls and go straight to my room at night, or stay w/ a big,
strong dude to feel safe. :P
As I completed my promenade through...
by Brenner T. via yelp
As I completed my promenade through each part this immaculate hotel, all I could continuously
muster in the form of mumbles was "wow." Every minuscule detail is executed with sheer
perfection...and that's an understatement.
My parents stayed here for their anniversary trip and switched from the Bellagio to the Mandarin
on the day I had to fly home. I was lucky enough to get to explore the property and see each
relevant floor and the actual room.
This is a truly 5-star resort and it's hard to elaborate on each beautiful, well-thought out facet
without you actually seeing it yourself.
The elevator takes you to the 23rd floor where you emerge to some of the most gorgeous
interior designing I've laid my eyes upon..ever. This is where the "tea lounge" is located with
service from 2-5 (for a price). This is also where the check-in desk is located. There is another
set of elevators just down the hall that are exclusive to guests only.
31 / 34

32. We stopped by the pool area and it was everything you would expect: two, separate leveled
infinity-edge pools, dozens of lounge chairs with plush cushions, and cabana "hut" type of
buildings with TVs and more amenities. There is also a cafe to dine at on this level and the fare
looked deliciously Caribbean in style.
We also peeked in the spa and, while we didn't get a tour, the check-in desk and surrounding
areas were extremely welcoming and pretty. The women attendants were also friendly and
made sure we received the spa menus when we requested them.
And, last but not least, the room. Even though it isn't massive in size, it is still extremely well
done. THIS IS THE MOST COMFORTABLE BED I HAVE EVER LAID IN. No joke. I would
seriously consider attempting to purchase this exact same set-up for my own home. I might as
well have been laying on a cloud.
HUGE closet. Even bigger bathroom and vanity area. Separate room with toilet. The room is all
remotely controlled (lights, blinds, tv, air, etc) from an iPad-like device. If you have stayed at
Aria, this is the exact same thing. There is a "cubby hole" type of deposit by the front door
where your newspapers, complimentary shined shoes, or any other items are dropped off
(secure and locked from the outside, easy to retrieve once inside the room).
The service at the Mandarin Oriental is unlike any other. I truly felt like I was at home-- and I
wasn't even the one staying here! If you can snag a deal (AKA buy two nights, get one free)
then definitely book some time in this hotel. I promise that you won't regret it.
Mandarin Oriental is a lovely quiet...
by Sarah R. via yelp
Mandarin Oriental is a lovely quiet spot in the center of the hubbub of Vegas. The hotel is
entirely smoke free and quiet as there is no casino. The rooms are well appointed with a
comfortable bed, large bathroom, and some great tech features.
Everything in the room is remote controlled, from the lights, to the blackout curtains, to the
temperature, and the alarm. You can even choose multiple settings for the alarm so you can
wake to peaceful scenery on the tv screen while birds chirp and the curtains slowly open to let
32 / 34

33. the morning light in.
There are a couple of did sides to this hotel which is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. Â First,
the pillows are terrible. They are large and hard. They don't have soft or foam pillow options.
Second, the hotel is not connected to the rest if city center in a clean way. You have to walk up
through a fees walkways to get to the Aria or through the taxi driveway to get to the street,
neither of which is particularly safe or easy.
Overall, I would return to the Mzndarin Oriental. They have several nice touches that bring it into
the luxury hotel category. My favorites are the complimentary ride back to the airport in a comfy
Mercedes, the bath salts for the huge tub, the personal high end service, and the technical
integration of the functions in the room.
I recently spent two nights at...
by Raymond R. via yelp
I recently spent two nights at Mandarin Oriental. The service is good. Almost too good. See my
reviews of MOzen and the spa also.
I booked a Mercedes S550 sedan through the concierge to pick me up from the airport. The
cost was $93 and is inclusive of tips, though extra cash was most graciously accepted. The
driver called in to the hotel to inform of my arrival. Waiting at the port cochere was a hostess
and two bellhops. "Welcome Mr. R. We have been expecting you. Please follow me."
My luggage? Nowhere to be seen. Instead, I am given tea and hot towels in the Sky Lobby as I
make our way to the front desk where the desk clerk has my profile already brought up and I'm
checked in to my room mere seconds after my arrival.
The room itself is very small by new Las Vegas standards. At only about 510 square feet with a
large amount dedicated to a full walk-in closet, it actually feels a bit cramped. Nevertheless, if
you can think of an amenity, you'll find it here. Teas and coffees with respective appliances?
You got it. Umbrella? It's there. Collar stays and lip balm among the plethora of bathroom
33 / 34

34. amenities? A godsend. An electronics kit with outlet converters, phone chargers, and USB
cables? Gotcha' covered. Yoga mat with two yoga DVDs? No bulls#!t - they got that too.
Decor is gorgeous with dark tones, geometric patterns, and natural colors. The bathroom itself
is a modern masterpiece and perhaps the most beautiful standard guest room toilet in town.
Technology is equally impressive with DVD player and stereo, great speakers, and even a
subwoofer. It's all controlled by the same intuitive and idiot-proof remote that Aria keeps
boasting about.
The valet closet is awesome. It's a cabinet that can be accessed from inside your room and by
key from outside. This allows hotel personnel to take and deliver items without disturbing you.
Put your shoes in there, press the valet button, and you'll find them shined about an hour later.
No bill, either; it's a complimentary service. Need ice? Don't even think about looking for a
machine on your floor. Leave the bucket in the valet closet, press the button, and wait about ten
minutes. It's almost like magic.
Criticisms? They are few and far between. Obviously, there's the lack of casino, though Aria is a
very short walk as already mentioned. They don't advertise it, but Monte Carlo is just as
convenient to Mandarin as well.
My biggest complaint, however, is its lack of Vegas feel. Despite being literally a few feet from
Las Vegas Boulevard, you will feel transported away from all the hubbub.
And frankly, I missed the hubbub.
I'm truly nitpicking here, though, and very much expect to give them another stay. I've said it
before and I'll say it again: at their normal price of around $345 per night, it's worth it, but right
now with their opening specials and two nights for the price of one offers, it's a steal.
Book it. You won't regret it.
