Twenty years ago, if you used the word sophisticated and Las Vegas in the same sentence you would have been certified. Vegas was flashy and trashy, and people came here for gambling, booze and a good time, preferably without the wife. Nobody came to Vegas for fine dining and theatre, and yet today that’s exactly why they come. Las Vegas now does more business in sophisticated 3 star celebrity chef restaurants than they do on the gaming tables. Entertainment abounds and world class shows such as Cirque du Soleil and Blue Man Group now have their home in Vegas. Outdoor lighting displays are everywhere on the Strip; as seen from space, Las Vegas is the brightest city on earth.
If you feel like a day-trip, Vegas is also perfectly placed for seeing the Grand Canyon – you can walk round it, walk down into it, sail along it or simply hover over it. Helicopter tours offer one of the best perspectives on this seemingly infinite, natural wonder of the world.

THEhotel at Mandalay Bay was created in recognition of the fact that, for some people, less is more and has opted for refined luxury as its signature. The rooms are all suites; each guest gets a separate living room and bedroom regardless of whether you’re a high roller or not. The miX bar and the miX restaurant are exceptional enough to stand alone. Situated on the top floor of the tower that houses THEhotel, miX not only has some of the best views in Vegas but also some of the best reviews. It’s the home of the three Michelin star talent of Alain Ducasse, and the space is as big as its reputation.
THEhotel seems to follow the philosophy of Oscar Wilde; “I have but the simplest taste - I am always satisfied with the best”.

For the Wynn, hotel is a strangely inappropriate description. It should be called Wynn environment. It has more upmarket brand-name boutiques than the most cosmopolitan shopping mall, more famous restaurants than most cities, and only London’s West End and Broadway have more shows. From the Manolo Blahnik boutique to the surreal Lake of Dreams, from shows such as Le Rêve to the waterfall inside Tryst nightclub and from the huge Ferrari-Maserati dealership to the 140 ft man-made mountain, the Wynn has merged fantasy with luxury in a way that will blow your mind. There is also an award-winning casino of course, but compared to all the other casinos on the strip, Wynn is very, very different as it is filled with light.
The opening of Wynn was the three-dimensional realisation of Steve Wynn’s dream – to make Vegas a destination for people with money and taste.
