History
The story of Four Seasons Hotel Las Vegas begins with a piece of desert real estate at the southern tip of the Strip that was essentially undeveloped scrubland until the late 1980s. The stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard South below Tropicana Avenue had long languished as the forgotten end of the Strip — Howard Hughes had accelerated development in the corridor when he began snapping up Las Vegas properties in the late 1960s, but the southern end remained peripheral. That changed decisively in the early 1990s when Circus Circus Enterprises, flush from the success of Excalibur and Luxor, assembled a site on the former grounds of the Hacienda hotel-casino for an audacious new mega-resort.
Construction on the Mandalay Bay complex began in the mid-1990s at a cost of $950 million. In June 1996, Circus Circus announced a partnership with Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts to create a non-gaming, non-smoking luxury enclave within the same tower — a radical concept on a Strip that had never hosted a property of that description. The entire complex opened on March 2, 1999. Four Seasons Las Vegas occupies floors 35 through 39 of the Mandalay Bay tower, with its own private entrance, private check-in, private pool, and a physical separation from the 3,200-room casino resort below. The hotel's 424 rooms and suites were designed with floor-to-ceiling windows framing views of the mountains or the Strip skyline.
The positioning proved transformative for the Las Vegas luxury market. For the first time, guests who had no interest in gambling could stay on the Strip in a property with full Forbes Five-Star and AAA Five Diamond service — a quiet retreat within walking distance of the spectacle. The hotel holds the distinction of being the only property in Las Vegas to have maintained Five-Star and Five-Diamond ratings simultaneously for an extended run. Charlie Palmer Steak, the celebrity chef's acclaimed steakhouse and one of the few James Beard Award-recognized restaurants on the Strip, anchored the dining program from the opening until it closed. The Mandalay Bay complex passed from Circus Circus Enterprises (renamed Mandalay Resort Group) to MGM Mirage in a major 2005 acquisition, but Four Seasons has continued to operate its floors under its own brand and standards throughout the changes in ownership below.
The setting
Four Seasons Hotel Las Vegas rises on floors 35 through 39 of the Mandalay Bay tower at 3960 South Las Vegas Boulevard, at the southern tip of the Strip. The site was transformed when the Hacienda Hotel — the Strip's southernmost anchor from 1956, first seen by motorists arriving from California — was imploded on New Year's Eve 1996, and Mandalay Bay opened in its place in 1999. One of the Strip's only non-gaming, non-smoking hotels, Four Seasons maintains its own lobby and pool while offering access to Mandalay Bay's eleven-acre beach eight minutes away on foot. Luxor is a 13-minute walk north, and the iconic Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign stands just south. 2 miles from Bellagio casino.
