I booked a room at the Mandarin for my husband's birthday weekend earlier this month. We hada strip view suite which was super cool, super classy and super comfy (maybe a little too comfy;on our last night we ended up heading back to the room for room service and TV at like 11pm,instead of the crazy late night on the strip we had intended- the room was just sooo comfortablethat we didn't want to leave).I had mentioned my husband's birthday in our reservation and to our surprise there was a veryyummy cupcake waiting for us in the room when we checked in. I love little touches like that!Important details: I am picky about hotel beds; this one did the trick. I am also fanatical abouthotel cleanliness and this place was pretty spotless. Hotel bathtubs freak me out but this onewas so clean I ALMOST considered using it. That's big for me!Basically, every square inch of this hotel exudes peace and quiet and luxury. If you are lookingfor a strip getaway away from the strip, this is your best bet. It feels miles away yet is close toeverything CityCenter and the rest of the strip has to offer.They have a spa which I am told is pretty great, a couple of restaurants and tea and cocktaillounges. I am sad we didn't get to try the cocktail lounge but we did have a nice afternoon in thetea room (see my other review!). Also, room service is really delicious!We had a great experience but I'm knocking one star off for the unnecessary resort fees (whichis supposed to cover gym access and coffee in the lobby at some ungodly early hour?) AND thedaily parking fee- the hotel is valet-only and unlike every other resort in Vegas, you have to payfor it. That felt wrong, and kind of annoyed me.
