Having read all the previous reviews I was a little unsure of how this hotel could possibly live up to the high standards I was expecting - it delivered 100%.
We stayed at the Four Seasons Vegas for 6 nights in September 08 followed by a 6 night stay at the Tower Suites Wynn and there was really no contest. The Four Seasons was by far the most pleasant stay we have spent in Vegas - I would put this down to 2 main factors - the people and the service. Our Strip Room was very tastefully decorated (not super flashy or oversized but perfect for our requirements). The registration and concierge services were extremely polite and helpful. The pool was perfect - a nice size with amazing pool staff who catered for our every need from constant iced water and evian face spritzing to smoothies and popsicles. The service was provided in a totally non-intrusive and professional manner by staff who appeared to care about whether you were enjoying your stay - and without any snob factor - every single guest was made to feel special.
We have stayed at numerous other hotels on the strip - Mandalay Bay & The Hotel, Bellagio, Caesars, Mirage, Venetian, Wynn, MGM and I would definitely rate The Four Seasons as top of the pile. Obviously the size of the hotel allows for a more intimate and personal service - if you can afford it then it is well worth paying for.

We spent 5 days in Vegas and really enjoyed the Four Seasons. Vegas is not our typical destination, as we are not gamblers, but we need a warm place with no hurricanes for a last minute sun/pool change of scenario for our kids. They absolutely loved the Four Seasons and the pools at the Mandalay Bay (the lazy river and the wave pool), jsut across a gate. The scenario at the Mandalay was overly zoo-esque, crowded, with a mass-mentality but the kids liked it for a couple of hours and when we got overwhelmed we would go back to the private pool at the Four Seasons and truly appreciate life in luxury!
Food was great, service was exceptional. Kids felt pampered and cared for, everyone chatting with them, sending complimentary ice-cream, etc. Bed and pillows were unbelievable. Rooms are nice and big.
Great little vacation!

This was my first trip to Vegas, so at the outset you should realize I have nothing to compare to in terms of other hotels on the strip. I gave the hotel 5 blobs, as TripAdvisor describes 4 blobs as "Above Average". It's certainly far better than that, but I guess a 4.5 would be my ideal vote!

Being on top of the Mandalay Bay hotel, you really do get to see the 2 extremes of Vegas hotels. At MB they have, I guess, up to 20 check-in desks and a queuing system. You go through a turnstile to get to the MB pool area. At the FS, we were greeted from the taxi, whisked through to reception, and checked-in in no time. We arrived around 12.30, so the room wasn't ready, but they called our cell about 30 mins later, and by the time we got back all our bags were in the room waiting for us.

The decor in the public areas of the FS is classy without being over the top. The rooms are also great, though not amazing. The bed was comfy, but I wouldn't buy one, like other reviewers have suggested. The toiletries by L'occitaine are nice, though in the end a note had to be left for the maid since she always forgot to leave any shower gel. The room had a strip view, and true enough, it was a great view. You could also see the airport, but never really heard anything. The shower was great, the TV was huge and actually had a TV program guide that worked, and nothing was ever heard from the neighbors.

The pool area was slightly disappointing for a hotel of this standard. On the upside, the service was great, although the much-vaunted spraying of Evian, sunglass cleaning etc was a little regimented. Each service happened once a day, at fairly specific times, so it felt less spontaneous then it could of. I know that sounds snobby on my part, but plenty of hotels in the Far East pull off this type of service with much more subtlety. Anyway, the pool itself is very average. At a place like this, I'd expect something a little more fancy, like an infinity pool, or at least have something that's edgeless. Instead this is a very average pool, with a depth of 3.5-4.0ft all round. The MB “beach” is never far away, so some of the noise creeps up from there sometime, especially later in the day when the music starts. It’s never too intrusive though. The pool food was a bit pricy, as were the drinks, but this is a Four Seasons, so it's to be expected, and the food and service was always perfect.

The only food tried out was breakfast, which was great. A la carte on one day, and the buffet the next. Never did make it to the gym, but did try out the eucalyptus steam rooms, and they were great. On reflection, I wish I'd started every day in there, followed by a shower in the fully-equipped locker rooms.

So, all in all, the Four Seasons is a great hotel, and for all I know, infinitely better than the rest of them on the strip – I’d be wary if staying anywhere else in Vegas now, but also intrigued to see how good (or bad) some of the other hotels are. Certainly if you’re looking for a more personal service, and are not planning on spending $1000’s in the casinos, then the Four Seasons is a great option.

The Four Seasons Las Vegas is both upscale and elegant . The staff could not be nicer. Housekeeping is unobtrusive and helpful. The facility is beautiful. We were upgraded upon our arrival to a Premier Strip View Room. The floor to ceiling, wall to wall, view was awesome. The pool is relatively small, but there was more than enough room for all the guests. At the pool, The Hotel provides free ices. For the Lazy River, the Wave Pool, and much better people watching go to The Mandelay Bay Pool which is just next door, and it only requires that you utilize your Four Seasons room key. The Charlie Palmer Steak Restaurant in the Four Seasons was excellent and reasonably priced.

Do NOT have breakfast at The Mandelay Bay.
The layout is poor, the lines are long, the food is horribly presented, and the service needs improvement. Instead spend the extra money, and go to Verandah Restaurant in The Four Seasons. The Hotel does not provide van service to the airport, but out taxi cost only $16 including a good tip. The taxi is a good way toget to the airport.

Now here are two things we didn't like.

1)The location of The Hotel is far from the main drag on South Las Vegas Blvd. It is more or less isolated unless you want to utilize the far lesser nearby hotels (Mandelay Bay, The Luxor, or The Excalibur).
2) The Hotel's computer service costs a dollar a minute. You might be able to use a computer through your television for less, but we didn't try.

It is a good idea to have your boarding passes ready prior to leaving for the airport, and the concierge will gladly print the passes for you.

We had a wonderful vacation at The Four Seasons, and we plan to return next year.
