Wynn Las Vegas if you want a casino resort at the north end of the Strip, with Five-Star Tower Suites, Wing Lei and a round of golf; the Four Seasons if you would rather have no casino of its own, no smoking indoors, a guests-only pool and your own lifts high in Mandalay Bay's tower.

The catch
A $55 nightly resort fee plus tax is added to every room, on top of rates that start around $400 before tax midweek and climb far higher in convention and event weeks.
The quiet luxury oneNo casino and no smoke: a Four Seasons high in Mandalay Bay's tower, with its own entrance, pool and spa.

Choose Four Seasons Hotel Las Vegas if
The catch
It sits at the south end of the Strip. New York-New York is 21 minutes' walk and the Bellagio fountains 39, and the indoor way north runs through Mandalay Bay's busy casino, so most evenings out start with a taxi.

Book Wynn Las Vegas for the polished, stay-put version of the city: a spa morning, the lake show or Wing Lei at dinner and a round on the course. Pay the step to a Wynn Tower Suite King, since the Five-Star rating belongs to the Tower Suites. A vast, polished Strip resort you need not leave, with Five-Star suites and spa, a lake show at dinner and golf behind the casino. It is expensive, and from the north end of the Strip the Center Strip is a long walk or a taxi away.
It has an outdoor pool. There is no beach; the nearest is a drive away.
Book the Four Seasons for Las Vegas on call and none of it in the corridor: no casino, no smoke, a guests-only pool and a Five-Star spa. Pay the step to a Strip View Room, and budget for taxis to the centre of the Strip. A calm, polished Four Seasons tucked into Mandalay Bay, with no casino or smoke of its own, a guests-only pool and a Five-Star spa. It is dear, quiet by design and a taxi ride from the centre of the Strip.
