"The Four Seasons occupies floors 35-39 of Mandalay Bay — a non-gaming luxury hotel with its own entrance, pool, and service standards that are genuinely different from the casino floor below."
Overall Rating
The Four Seasons Las Vegas occupies the top floors of the Mandalay Bay tower, with its own private entrance, lobby, pool, and service team. It's a non-gaming hotel in the truest sense — the casino is physically below you, but you never have to interact with it. The service standards are the best on the Strip.
Four Seasons charges no resort fee. At $500+/night, this is meaningful. The Waldorf Astoria also has no resort fee — these are the two best luxury options for fee-conscious travelers.
The Four Seasons pool is adults-only and separate from the Mandalay Bay crowds. One of the most peaceful pool settings on the Strip.
The rooms are among the best on the Strip — genuinely luxurious with high-quality finishes, large bathrooms, and attentive service. The views from upper floors are spectacular.
Private Four Seasons pool is adults-only and significantly quieter than the Mandalay Bay pool complex. Access to the full Mandalay Bay pool complex (including the beach) is also included.
How this resort holds up in peak Vegas summer (June–September)
The Four Seasons has a private pool that never reaches the crowd levels of Mandalay Beach. The south Strip location is quieter in summer. The service quality means pool towels, cold towels, and sunscreen are all handled without you asking — a meaningful difference in 110°F heat.
Opened in 1999 as one of the first luxury non-gaming hotels on the Strip. The Four Seasons/Mandalay Bay partnership has been one of the most successful hotel-within-a-hotel arrangements in Vegas history.

The Four Seasons is the best pure luxury hotel experience on the Strip. No resort fee, exceptional service, and the private pool is a genuine sanctuary. The South Strip location is the only real drawback.

The most technologically sophisticated resort on the Strip. The rooms are exceptional. The casino is serious. The pool is excellent. The location is slightly south of center.
The biggest casino resort in Vegas. The biggest casino floor. The most restaurants. The most rooms. The most everything. Also the most walking.
The Manhattan skyline replica is the best exterior on the Strip. The interior is a labyrinth. The roller coaster is still running.
