Four Seasons Hotel Las Vegas

FOUR SEASONS HOTEL LAS VEGAS OFFERS PEACEFUL SECLUSION WITHIN A CITY OF EXCITEMENT

A winding, private drive transports guests away from the glittering Las Vegas Strip and into a tranquil oasis of luxurious amenities, unparalleled attention to detail and a level of personalized service found only at Four Seasons.

Ideally located at the south end of the world-famous Las Vegas Boulevard, yet tucked quietly away from the crowds and nonstop casino action, Four Seasons Hotel Las Vegas is the best of both worlds. The intimate, non-gaming property that was the first AAA Five Diamond hotel in Las Vegas and the first hotel to be so honored by AAA in its first year of operation provides an oasis of elegance, yet still offers convenient access to the city’s signature action and world class entertainment. Travel + Leisure Magazine ranked the Hotel #34 in its 2008 list of Top 100 Hotels in the Continental U.S. and

Canada. It was the #1 Hotel in Las Vegas.

A major business hub, Las Vegas draws more than 40 million visitors each year. This expansion has created a flourishing market for investment in development, attracting major corporations and entrepreneurs, as well as greater numbers of leisure travelers. The resulting need for sophisticated, luxury accommodations is perfectly met with the superior comfort, elegance and service offered by Four Seasons Hotel Las Vegas.

Small in size, the property provides an intimate retreat in this bustling city and a welcome respite from the non-stop casino environment of many larger hotels. With 424 rooms, the hotel features Four Seasons’ understated elegance and highly personalized, award-winning services, including many “firsts” for Las Vegas: complimentary overnight shoeshine; in-room coffee; one-hour pressing and four-hour laundry and dry cleaning; pool services, such as Evian spritzing; 24-hour Concierge for all guests; and cold water and chilled towels for joggers returning from a run.

With a private drive off Las Vegas Boulevard, the Hotel’s two-story structure houses a porte cochere, lobby, registration desk, meeting and function space, landscaped gardens with a private pool, full service spa, restaurants, and lounges. Three private elevators off the lobby whisk guests to the hotel’s 424 guest rooms, located on five floors (35th - 39th) of the adjacent Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino tower, offering views of the mountains, surrounding desert scenery and vistas, and the glittering Las Vegas strip. The rooms are the only part of the hotel located in the tower.

Hotel dining facilities include Verandah, a 209-seat restaurant featuring varied regional and international cuisine created by Four Seasons veteran Executive Chef Michael Goodman. With indoor and outdoor seating, Verandah features Afternoon Tea Monday through Thursday and a Bar and Lounge for lighter fare and signature cocktails.

Also located inside Four Seasons Hotel Las Vegas is the 275-seat Charlie Palmer Steak, owned and operated by the renowned chef Charlie Palmer, which features an innovative menu with a twist on the traditional fare. The focus is on simple preparations of artisan aged beef with ever-changing menu options, including fish and seafood. The clubby atmosphere is comfortable, spacious and understated.

Las Vegas is the number one convention destination in the world. Companies seeking intimate meeting space, without the distraction of on-site gaming welcome Four Seasons as an alternative to the harried Las Vegas meeting experience. Four Seasons caters to groups with highly specialized needs, offering facilities for gala banquets, private receptions, creatively themed events and small group meetings. The Four Seasons Ballroom comprises 10,080 square feet, and an expansive 3,920-square-foot pre-function space is also divisible in halves and thirds.

Additional function space includes the 5,250-square-foot Acacia Ballroom, 1,950-square-foot pre-function space, two 670-square-foot meeting rooms, one 1,200 square-foot conference room, and one 1,590-square-foot conference room. On the lobby level, the Palm Lounge (1,110 square feet) and Palm Room (1,702 square feet) offer a residential setting ideal for receptions, luncheons or intimate gatherings. Four Seasons Catering to You takes the Four Seasons experience to any venue in the city including private homes. A Kosher kitchen on property allows service for Jewish events.

The 12,000 square foot award winning Spa is a full-service facility with 16 treatment rooms and fitness facilities including cardiovascular and weight training equipment. The Spa’s success is touted with accolades such as Travel + Leisure Magazine ranking it #15 on its 2008 list of Top 20 Hotel Spas worldwide. The Spa was the only Las Vegas spa to be included in the prestigious list. Also in 2008, Mobil Travel Guide honored The Spa with a Four Star ranking - one of only four in Las Vegas. Steam rooms, separate men’s and women’s locker rooms complete the facility which offers complimentary use to all guests.

Guests at Four Seasons Hotel Las Vegas have easy access to the adjacent Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino. The resort offers a myriad of entertainment, dining and recreation options. They include a 12,000-seat event center, a 1,700-seat showroom, a House of Blues, 22 world-class restaurants featuring top-rated chefs and an 11-acre water environment highlighted by a sandy beach, a lazy river and a variety of swimming pools. Guests will also enjoy the Shark Reef, an interactive aquarium adjacent to the pool area.

For excursions from the city, the scenic Southern Nevada corridor offers some fascinating choices. The surrounding area is home to many parks, including Valley of Fire State National Park, Red Rock Recreation Area, Hoover Dam and Lake Mead, where visitors may enjoy horseback riding, calm-water rafting, hiking and rodeos.
