Mandarin Oriental Las Vegas

The new Mandarin Oriental, Las Vegas brings the hotel group's legendary service to Las Vegas for the first time. Along with spectacular interiors by the renowned designer Adam D. Tihany and a revolution in green design, the 47-story building features state-of-the art meeting facilities, sumptuous accommodations, an unparalleled spa, and superb dining at the gateway to CityCenter, the new $9.2 billion urban destination at the heart of the Las Vegas Strip. Reception takes place on the twenty-third floor, where the staff welcomes guests between sweeping views of CityCenter and Las Vegas Boulevard.

The hotel's third-floor ballroom and three smaller meeting rooms feature a special entrance from the main porte cochere, gracious prefunction areas, floods of natural light, and tomorrow's technology. Visiting planners, for instance, can program information for display on flat-panel screens outside each meeting room or send it to the guest rooms, where delegates can preview the day's agenda or watch a tape of a previous session.

Another prominent feature of the hotel, its spa, entertains with two floors of treatment rooms, numerous relaxation and water experiences, a fitness center, and yoga studio. The restaurants and lounges invite further indulgence with everything from French cuisine with a modern spin at Twist (the first U.S. restaurant by Michelin-starred Pierre Gagnaire) to gourmet treats at Amore Patisserieâ modeled after the legendary cake shop at Mandarin Oriental's Hong Kong flagship.
