We are counting down the days until we see our friends and colleagues in Las Vegas for the NCRA Convention & Expo. In honor of our trip, we are featuring the top five country themed hotels in Las Vegas and also giving tips on depositions in those countries. To kick us off at number 5 we have the Asian-themed hotel, Mandarin Oriental.
#5 ASIA: Mandarin Oriental, Las Vegas
- Mandarin Oriental, Las Vegas holds the AAA Five Diamond Award and is one of only eight triple Forbes Five-Star hotels in the United States.
- Opening on December 5, 2009, the hotel was designed entirely by interior designer Adam D. Tihany and architecture firm Kohn Pedersen Fox.
- 392 rooms feature Asian-inspired touches which are unique to the hotel (no two Mandarin Orientals look alike)
- The hotel is deliberately scaled-back so guests can enjoy its features in a zen-like atmosphere.
- The public areas have Asian-influenced decor, incredible one-of-a-kind artwork and some of the best views in Las Vegas thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows throughout the hotel.
- A sprawling two-story, Shanghai-themed spa offers services influenced by traditional Asian therapies mixed with modern technology, including a Chinese foot spa.
