text: Oasis in the midst of a desert nnWe stayed in the Junior Executive suite and we are so glad we did nnThis was my first and most likely last trip to Vegas nn New Orleans Mardi Gras is kind of crazy but in a good wayVegas is crazy but not in a good way nnLet me explain nnI have a cherished and beloved friend who decided to wed at Excalibur hotel It was a medieval themed wedding and a queen and king need a castle Sigh nnAfter thorough research and countless hours spent on the bed bug registry I thought The Bellagio would be a good choice It seemed well priced clean and a bit away from the chaos of the stripnnThank God my traveling companion who had been to Vegas prior staunchly decided that we would stay here I had kind of poopooed the idea at first because I thought it would be very expensive but surprisingly it is not much more expensive than the Bellagio and for all you get it is practically a steal Alas he had been to Vegas before he knew of the unspeakable horrors we would face the loud obnoxious pool areas blasting various renditions of Now That is What I Call Music and Summer Jams during the day the trashy drunken often morbidly obese young adults and not so young adults that would be scantily and badly dressed yet would be convinced that they looked hot that we would run into at night Ugh it was bad you all Real bad nnI know it is called the Sin City but seriously is not sinning supposed to be fun nI saw a lot of sinning but it all just seemed so tawdry and cheap Do you know they allow smoking in the casinos and hotels My God My virgin nostrils had all but forgotten that offensive scent Blech nnAnyway I digress Four Seasons was amazingnnThe staff are more than helpful As soon as you walk in you are greeted with the smell of yellow roses The pool area is relatively quiet with light jazzy lounge music playing softly in the back Sexy nnI got a bikini wax at the spa and I have to say it is been the best one to date The hotel restaurant Verandah has the best breakfast on the strip Please get one of their delicious smoothies Your taste buds will thank youThe room we stayed in had large windows that offered a wonderful view of the hills and the pool area We stayed on the th floor top floor and I felt like I was on cloud nineBed was ultra comfy Furnishings were classic yet modern and comfortable as well I loved the scent of the bvlgari products stocked in the bathrooms Noise or vulgarity of any kind was never an issue here nnLocation was perfect Excalibur Aria MGM Luxor Cosmopolitan and a number of other hotelsrestaurants are a walk away min Depending on venue Bellagio and Venetian are a bit of a hike further up so you would definitely need a taxi if you wanted to check those places out and you might as well We partied at MGM Excalibur and Aria and come back to civilization in the evening The hotel is on the strip but the craziest noise you will hear is coming from Mandalay Bay They blast their pool music over into the Four Seasons area a little but nothing too imposing The two hotels share the same building but of course Four Season is on the top floors nnnIf you get tired of all of the immature madness of the strip and you should eventually Four Seasons is a great place to call home and regain your sanity
