Stayed at Mandarin Oriental for two nights on the weekend

- Didn't do early check in since I was landing at 8pm
- Used 4 PM Late Check Out
- Resort fee of $32ish every day.. claimed it was for room ammenities like wifi, even though Amex says that Wifi is free?
- No upgrade available, due to a convention the same weekend I went (bummer), told management about this and they offered a 3 category upgrade from a standard room to the Mandarin Premier the next time I visit.. had cityscape room (no strip view)
- $51 dollars a day for breakfast, used day one at MOzen, used day two in room, but was still charged $10 for in room dining.
- Used $100 Spa credit for two $60 day pass, had about $20 out of pocket then left gratuity as well

Drinks at the Mandarin Bar are definitely a must, beautiful view and great drinks.

Did not try TWIST, went to Sage at Aria instead which was alright for the 8 course meal.. really thought they could do better, LAGO at Bellagio was alright too, got seats up front at the patio, so seeing the fountains was awesome.

FHR overall was worth it at the Mandarin, beautiful, clean hotel with super courteous staff, but really wish an upgrade was available to make it entirely worth it.
