The FS is more subdued. Walking in the lobby, it's as if you've escaped the hectic frenzy of Vegas and entered a secluded retreat. I think the FS probably has better service, and upgrades happen more frequently here. Better pool - and access to the Mandalay Bay pool too, if that's of any interest.
You won't go wrong with either choice!
I agree with David. I stayed at the MO last weekend; have stayed at the 4S the prior two trips. Where I go next really depends on what I'm looking for that particular trip. I don't think I've ever been upgraded at the MO but the lowest level rooms are better than anything at the 4S up to the Executive Suite level.
Modern vibe, room, location, spa - MO
Relaxed vibe, pool, main restaurant - 4S
Toss up over which adjacent casino is better. Maybe MO.
