Despite its location in the midst of Las Vegas? mega casinos, we love that the Mandarin Oriental, Las Vegas sets itself apart from the pack — and here's why:
1. The Spa at Mandarin Oriental, Las Vegas: By mixing Eastern methodologies with Western application, the spa becomes a rejuvenation haven. With 17 treatment rooms — 10 single suites and 7 couples suites - you can indulge in soothing treatments, including body massages and wraps, foot and facial treatments and thermal experiences, such as the plunging pools or the ice fountain.
2. The check-in process: When you arrive at the 47-story hotel, you?ll head to the 23rd floor to check into your room. The unique arrival gives you a glimpse of the hotel?s ambience, quaint and elegant, with floor-to-ceiling windows showcasing Las Vegas? surrounding mountains and spectacular lights.
3. Twist: French chef Pierre Gagnaire dishes out traditional flavors with a scientific flair at his only U.S. restaurant, experimenting with texture, taste and temperature. As the leader of the fusion movement, Gagnaire breaks convention one course at a time.
4. The design: The interior design of the Mandarin Oriental, Las Vegas provides some intimacy uncommonly found in other Sin City jaunts, thanks to interior designer Adam Tihany. The chic red and gold tones and rich patterns are inspired by 1930s Shanghai, making the hotel a unique combination of contemporary elements and subtle Asian aesthetic.
5. The Tea Lounge: Las Vegas is all about the drinks — including tea. The lounge at the hotel adopts an afternoon tea-time ritual from 2:30 to 5 p.m. that delivers an herbal boost for the rest of the day. It?s the perfect way to take a few hours out of a busy Las Vegas vacation just to sit and relax (before prepping for another crazy night, of course).

The Mandarin Oriental, Las Vegas contains four pools and an outdoor jacuzzi that make it perfect for escaping the desert heat or cozying up during an evening sunset. When you’re ready to exert a bit of energy, you’ll find two lap pools outside situated directly next to each other and lined with 20 private olive-green cabanas. PlayStation 3 systems are installed in all of the cabanas, whether you want to occupy your kids or play a game yourself. If treading water works up your appetite, the Pool Café serves breakfast from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m., and lunch until 5 p.m.

Inside is where you’ll find a more tranquil setting, with two plunge pools accompanying the hotel’s spa, The Spa at Mandarin Oriental, Las Vegas.

Even though the bustling Strip is just footsteps away, there are plenty of reasons not to leave the Mandarin Oriental, Las Vegas. Here’s the lowdown on the best five amenities at the 47-story Las Vegas hotel:

1. The pool: Beat the Las Vegas heat in one of the two outdoor lap pools. Don’t worry about any UV damage from soaking up the rays: The staff is equipped with plenty of sunscreen. When you’ve treaded water for too long, you can unwind in one of the 20 private cabanas and curb your hunger at the Pool Café.

2. The Spa at Mandarin Oriental Las Vegas: By combining Eastern methodologies with Western application, the Spa becomes a rejuvenation haven amid Sin City’s wild environment. With 17 treatment rooms — 10 single suites and 7 couples suites — you can indulge in and reward yourself to unique treatments, including body massages and wraps, foot and facial treatments and thermal experiences.

3. Twist by Peter Gagnaire: At French chef Pierre Gagnaire’s only U.S. restaurant, your senses will be pleasantly surprised — Gagnaire breaks convention, putting a quite literal modern “twist” on traditional flavors and experimenting with temperature and texture.

4. Mandarin Bar: The bar’s modern style and inventive cocktails define Las Vegas chic. The full bar menu includes concoctions like the Champagne Mojito, which mixes Appleton Estate, simple syrup, fresh lime juice, mint leaves, Domaine de Canton, dashes of Angostura bitters and sparkling wine.

5. Tea Lounge: While this may not be the first drink that comes to mind when you think of Las Vegas, the Tea Lounge is one of the great amenities that make the hotel unique. The Mandarin Oriental Las Vegas adopts an afternoon tea-time ritual from 2:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. where you can take a moment to sip an herbal booster, glance out at the setting sun over the city and prepare for the night’s festivities ahead.

To whet your appetite, Mandarin Oriental Las Vegas contains two restaurants and a café. At Twist by Peter Gagnaire, located on the 23rd floor, renowned French chef Peter Gagnaire puts a literal modern “twist” on traditional flavors at his only U.S. restaurant, boldly experimenting with texture, taste and temperature. For dinner, you have a choice of à la carte dining, the three-course tasting menu at Gagnaire’s Spirit six-course tasting menu, which comes complete with wine-pairing options. Wish dishes like the Idaho Kobe-style beef, or the roasted chicken breast stuffed with almonds and pistachio paste, in addition to the six-part Signature dessert, you’ll want to sport your finest business-casual attire while digging into Gagnaire’s sophisticated cuisine.
 
Step onto the 3rd floor and you’ll get a taste from around the world at MOzen Bistro. While it features classics from the East and West, the real focus is its Asian menu, including zesty Indian delicacies and savory Thai dishes. All of the courses are served small so that after three to four plates, you’ll truly satisfy your taste buds. You can dine comfortably here in casual attire for breakfast, lunch or dinner. No matter your choice, both restaurants provide one special perk of staying at the luxury 47-story hotel: floor-to-ceiling windows, which provide a dramatic view of Vegas’ bright lights and surrounding mountains. If you’d rather skip the view and dine with a tan, the Pool Café will serve you in one of the 20 private poolside cabanas for breakfast until 10:30 a.m. and lunch until 5 p.m. With chilled items like smoothies or cucumber soup, you’ll beat the Las Vegas heat.

Mandarin Oriental, Las Vegas’ suites are just as lavish as Sin City’s high-roller style because when it comes to luxury, the Four-Star hotel follows the same concept — more is better. Located from the 4th floor to the 22nd floor, the 57 suites come in a variety of types and layouts, from the spacious CityScape Suite and the Strip View Suite which provide a postcard-worthy view of the sprawling CityCenter and the busy Strip below to the Dynasty Suite, which is an ideal place to hold a private reception since it comes with a dining room, full bar and butler pantry. Or, you could also plan your getaway in the Emperor Suite that flaunts a dining room, kitchen, bar and media room for private screenings of your favorite flicks. In the Apex Suite, you’ll truly get a glimpse of Vegas’ lights with its two glass walls converging to present a 270-degree panoramic view from the bedroom. If you’re looking to double bunk, though, you’ll want to stay in the Taipan Suite, which offers two bedrooms. But the crème de la crème at the Mandarin Oriental, Las Vegas is the ultra-luxe Mandarin Suite, loaded with a dining room, bar, study and personal fitness area. When we said the suites followed a high-roller style, we meant it.

Cribs with baby amenities, strollers, babysitting services and a children’s menu for in-room dining (and at the hotel’s restaurants) are all designed to make your stay a whole lot easier.
