text: Oasis in the midst of a desert. \n\nWe stayed in the Junior Executive suite and we're so glad we did. \n\nThis was my first, and most likely last, trip to Vegas. \n\n New Orleans (Mardi Gras) is kind of crazy but in a good way.Vegas is crazy but not in a good way. \n\nLet me explain. \n\nI have a cherished and beloved friend who decided to wed at Excalibur hotel. It was a medieval themed wedding and a queen and king need a castle. Sigh. \n\nAfter thorough research and countless hours spent on the bed bug registry, I thought The Bellagio would be a good choice. It seemed well priced, clean, and a bit away from the chaos of the strip.\n\nThank God, my traveling companion, who had been to Vegas prior, staunchly decided that we would stay here. I had kind of poo-pooed the idea at first because I thought it'd be very expensive but surprisingly it's not much more expensive than the Bellagio and for all you get it's practically a steal. Alas, he had been to Vegas before, he knew of the unspeakable horrors we would face, the loud obnoxious pool areas blasting various renditions of \"Now That's What I Call Music ...\" and \"Summer Jams\" during the day, the trashy, drunken, often morbidly obese, young adults and not so young adults that would be scantily and badly dressed, yet would be convinced that they looked hot, that we would run into at night ... Ugh, it was bad y'all. Real bad. \n\nI know it's called the  Sin City but seriously, isn't sinning supposed to be fun? \nI saw a lot of \"sinning\" but it all just seemed so tawdry and cheap. Do you know they allow smoking in the casinos and hotels?! My God. My virgin nostrils had all but forgotten that offensive scent. Blech! \n\nAnyway, I digress ... Four Seasons was amazing.\n\nThe staff are more than helpful. As soon as you walk in you're greeted with the smell of yellow roses. The pool area is relatively quiet with light jazzy lounge music playing softly in the back. Sexy! \n\nI got a bikini wax at the spa and I have to say it's been the best one to date. The hotel restaurant, Verandah, has the best breakfast on the strip. Please get one of their delicious smoothies. Your taste buds will thank you.The room we stayed in had large windows that offered a wonderful view of the hills and the pool area. We stayed on the 39th floor (top floor) and I felt like I was on cloud nine.Bed was ultra comfy. Furnishings were classic yet modern and comfortable as well. I loved the scent of the bvlgari products stocked in the bathrooms. Noise or vulgarity of any kind was never an issue here. \n\nLocation was perfect. Excalibur, Aria, MGM, Luxor, Cosmopolitan and a number of other hotels/restaurants are a walk away (20-30 min. Depending on venue). Bellagio and Venetian are a bit of a hike further up, so you'd definitely need a taxi if you wanted to check those places out (and you might as well). We partied at MGM, Excalibur and Aria and come back to civilization in the evening. The hotel is on the strip but the craziest noise you'll hear is coming from Mandalay Bay -- They blast their pool music over into the Four Seasons area a little but nothing too imposing. The two hotels share the same building but of course Four Season is on the top floors :-) \n\n\nIf you get tired of all of the immature madness of the strip (and you should eventually) Four Seasons is a great place to call home and regain your sanity.
