With its neon lights, world-class entertainment, and unparalleled dining options, Las Vegas can’t help but dazzle. And it’s understandable that many visitors desire to stay within the midst of the glitz. But for those like myself who prefer an oasis that is slightly removed yet adjacent to the action, Four Seasons Hotel Las Vegas is the spot. This non-gaming, non-smoking, sophisticated sanctuary—celebrating its silver anniversary this year—is located on the southern end of the Strip, within floors 35 to 39 of a 43-floor Mandalay Bay resort complex building. The exclusive property provides direct access to Mandalay Bay’s offerings, while maintaining its own distinctive Four Seasons identity. Guests can easily enjoy all the Las Vegas excitement, while having the ability to quickly retreat to calm luxury. It’s truly the best of both Vegas worlds.
Fans of the Four Seasons brand will find here the same famed, attentive Four Seasons service (and heavenly Four Seasons bed) as found at the brand’s other hotels around the world. The swimming pool is just as sparkling, the tranquil spa is just as pampering, the fitness center is just as state-of-the-art, and the cuisine is just as destination worthy—the bountiful weekend brunch buffet at Veranda is a particular draw, well enjoyed on the restaurant’s spacious al fresco terrace that offers lovely views of the hotel’s lush gardens and pool area. If it’s simply Four Seasons hospitality one craves, this location has it in spades, with the additional sparkle of Las Vegas Strip views (floor-to-ceiling windows in guest rooms offer stunning views of the Las Vegas skyline or the nearby mountains) and proximity to all that for which Vegas is known: concerts, comedy, culinary delights, gambling, NFL and NHL action, and very soon, Formula 1 racing.
The hotel is ready for the upcoming 2024 Las Vegas Grand Prix Race Weekend with its vibrant display of F1 art and artifacts on display throughout public areas. Works by Paul Oz (the acclaimed motorsport artist renowned for his dynamic and evocative racing oil paintings and sculptures) and by Manu Campa (distinguished artist celebrated for his striking and emotive visual storytelling) grace walls and foyers, bringing an added layer of excitement to the Hotel. Additional displays include race-worn memorabilia such as helmets and racing suits.
As the circuit returns to Las Vegas for its grand finale, the Hotel will present an exceptional lineup of race weekend experiences. Host of exclusive culinary events from Thursday, November 21 to Sunday, November 24, 2024, the Hotel’s PRESS Lounge will be the place to be, 4:00 to 7:00pm daily, for race-themed cocktails, small bites crafted by the Michelin-starred Locanda Margon team from F1 official sparkling wine Ferrari Trento, and live music. Guests can indulge in an elevated brunch experience at Veranda, Friday through Sunday, with a special highlight on Race Day, Saturday, November 23, featuring live music and a sophisticated Ferrari Trento sparkling wine tasting menu.
Additionally, Four Seasons Hotel Las Vegas introduces Pitshop, a Race-themed pop-up retail experience offering guests the opportunity to immerse themselves in the world of motorsports. Pitshop features a curated selection of official 2024 merchandise, including team apparel and limited-edition collectibles. Fans can display their support for their favorite teams with team-branded clothing, accessories, and commemorative items, with special pieces available exclusively during the event.
To enhance the excitement of Race Weekend, Four Seasons Hotel Las Vegas presents two special packages, the Race Into Luxury package features a two-night stay and daily breakfast for two at Veranda. Guests with confirmed Hotel reservations during Race Weekend will have the opportunity to purchase highly coveted race tickets, offering unparalleled access to the heart of the action, featuring luxurious amenities, gourmet catering, and prime viewing spots right at the track. The Hotel also offers a Pole Position Race Weekend Ultimate package which includes VIP access to the race and to a curated collection of race-worn memorabilia. This package is complemented by the Ferrari Trento Victory Lounge. Presented by Darren Jack and the Hall of Fame Collection (the world leader in race worn and authentic signed memorabilia), the Lounge will offer guests an immersive journey into the world of motorsport with authentic memorabilia and iconic Ferrari Trento sparkling wines.
This package includes a three-night stay in a lavish One Bedroom Suite, breakfast for two, two coveted race tickets with VIP three-day access, and the ultimate souvenir—a race-worn, autographed suit or helmet of the guest’s choice.
Over the years, Four Seasons Las Vegas has achieved high recognition, garnering coveted awards. It remains the first and only hotel to earn the esteemed AAA Five-Diamond Award within its first six months of operation. Year-after-year, the Hotel has been named the #1 ranking in “Best Hotels in Las Vegas” and “Best Hotel in Nevada” by U.S. News & World Report, as well as having earned the prestigious Forbes Five-Star Award for its Spa and Nail Bar. A multi-million dollar redesign was completed in January 2024 of all 424 guest rooms and suites.
