Four Seasons Hotel Las Vegas
Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas
Location & Accessibility
Four Seasons occupies floors 35-39 of Mandalay Bay, offering direct access to Mandalay's casino, restaurants, and convention facilities while maintaining a separate, serene entrance. South Strip location provides easier highway access but requires transportation to central Strip attractions. Waldorf Astoria occupies its own 47-story tower adjacent to Aria, offering a more central Mid-Strip location with walkable access to Bellagio, Cosmopolitan, and CityCenter. Both provide complimentary luxury car service within a limited radius.
