I have stayed at the FS Las Vegas before and felt the rooms were a little bland. I am returning next month and understand that they have been updated.

Has anyone stayed recently? How are the new rooms? Better?

I am booked into a Premiere Strip View room. Any suggestions of what floor or request I can make at check-in?

Thanks in advance!

I was there two months ago. The rooms are very nice, but they didn't blow me away. Very ho hum. The flat screen TV is nice. The FS is up near the top of the building so I don't think it much matters what floor you stay in.

Call the Concierge before you get there if you want to do something. They'll take care of your request before you arrive.

We stayed there in April and we actually had three different rooms before we found one to our liking.

We stayed the first night in a recently refurbished premier strip room. Despite the refurbishment it is still fairly bland but top comfort. However, we found this room too small with surprisingly little storage space, and we asked for a suite.

The staff did their utmost to fulfill our request (hotel was full) and gave us a one-bedroom suite. This suite was very spacious but had not been refurbished and it looked like my grandmother's house. We were completely surprised to learn that the "old" rooms were decorated in 1996 because they look 30 years old.

We immediately complained and got an executive suite instead. The layout was very similar to the one-bedroom suite, just slightly smaller. This suite had been refurbished and we liked this one much better. Space and comfort but still rather dull.

However, we are still VERY pleased with our stay at FS Las Vegas. The pool service, the staff, the non-existing casino and the peace make this hotel the best place to stay in Vegas. We visited the Mandalay Bay pool once but only stayed for 20 minutes before running back to the FS, as it was totally crowded, noisy and tacky.

I highly recommend staying at FS but make sure to get a refurbished room. To my best knowledge all standard rooms have been refurbished while some suites are still in line for a makeover.

Why not stay at Wynn? I just received an offer (running now through September 7th) to stay at their 1950sqf Suite for $559/night. You can check it out on their website. Looks like an absolute steal.

I'm glad someone else shares my perception; I thought it was just me. The FS rooms just "feel" too much like Mandalay Bay, which is not surprising given the location of the FS.

I agree with peace of this hotel the greatest selling point. There were however, a couple of minor service lapses when I was there.

Hi all,

Are there seperate showers in the standard rooms at the FS LAS?

Yes. http://www.fourseasons.com/lasvegas/guest_room_238.html

I recomend "The Hotel" next door to the FS. Every room is a 1 bed suite with 1.5 baths. I have stayed there 4 times and was able to get the AAA rate @ $150 per night.

For the pool I now use Morea Beach Club (behind FS pool). The view there is nice and not too crowded.

Even on weekends?

Can't do the Moorea Beach club - staying with sister and niece.

They charge $50 for guys and $10 for ladies....what a scam! I wonder if they actually pay a few girls to lay around topless everyday. @:-)

Does anyone have an opinion on Charlie Palmer's and Verandah for dinner? Which one is better? Is there really a better steakhouse in Vegas?

$50 to not have to deal with kids at the Wave Pool = Priceless.

Cascadia

No. I always go Sun to Thur.

I know that some of the girls are pros. I've been approched a few times by girls offering to give me the $600 tour. Once even the pool attendent tried to pimp a few girls our way.

Vegas has changed over the last few years that way. Too many pros. It is kind of like being in Mexico and harassed by time share sales people.

I was at the Las Vegas Four Seasons last week. This was my first time there and my overall experience was impressive. I booked their lowest rate, which included a $50/day F&B credit. The room was on the 35th floor and was not very large, but well equipped. The bathroom was very nice and water pressure great!

Above all, the service shined everywhere, especially at the pool. Every few minutes, cold ice water was brought around. Then, cold fresh fruit. Then, Evian spritzers. (That one even I don't totally get.) Very attentive crew, and a nice, quiet environment.

Dinner one night at Verandah. Nice service but a rather limited menu. We had their "create your own", where you selected an entry (which dictated the price), and then a starch, vegie, and sauce. Not a bad deal. Dinner for two, with bottle of wine and tip: $125.00.

Next night was Charlie Palmers. Nice service as would be expected. Good wine list and a very helpful wine steward. Steaks were very nice, but I think Don Shula's is better. (No Shula's in Las Vegas; closest one is at LAX Sheraton Gateway.) I have eaten at many steak houses (but no other ones in Las Vegas), and would rate this one above average. Dinner for two, with wine and tip: $400.00.

I liked the reserved ambiance of the Las Vegas Four Seasons, and coupled with excellent service, made my stay a good one. I will return.
