text: The fanciest Afternoon Tea i have had so farnnAwesome view can see the strip from the rd floor of the Mandarin Oriental hotel near the Aria and Vdara Hotels nWe came to our reservation a bit early and luckily being the first ones there we got the best seat in the house on a couch right in front of the windows The lounge is not very big and it is right next to the check in desk lobby so it is not a ideal place to come with a big group nnThree of us got the Classic English Afternoon tea set at nTea service is daily pm nnYou get a choice of tea tea sandwiches smoked salmon egg salad curried chicken salad sandwich and black forest ham small scones served with a very thick cream cheese like Devonshire Cream pineapple marmalade and strawberry jam and a selection of petit desserts nnnhttpwwwyelpcombizphotosmandarinorientaltealoungelasvegasselectspTgVVCTlWjWQMcgtQspTgVVCTlWjWQMcgtQnnPresentation was superb Although everything was petit i thought it was very filling The sandwiches were yummy They are flexible with the sandwiches if you have food restrictions I did not love the salmon one as it had a strong herby flavor nnThe teas were my least favorite From the last afternoon tea experiences I have loved my tropical black tea choices When i saw mandarin orange black tea i was excited However when i drank it it has a strong chinese herbal flavor to it which i was not expecting and kind of clashed with the sweet desserts and sandwiches in my taste We tried the monkey picked oolong and white tea and none of them really had us craving to have more nnDespite not loving the tea flavors the experience was great and we enjoyed the view The lounge itself is pretty gorgeous with all the colors Check it nnhttpwwwyelpcombizphotosmandarinorientaltealoungelasvegasselectjoKJBgDCMDFsAgwahcAjoKJBgDCMDFsAgwahcA
