"The most memorable thing about Delano is how perfectly it has picked up elements of the desert and incorporated them into a breezy hotel that feels like you're right by the beach. Views are spectacular (ask to stay on a high floor): When you need the bustle of the Strip, just walk through the lobby and parking garage into Mandalay Bay. Don't miss an evening at Rivea and Skyfall, the restaurant and lounge connected to each other on the 64th floor. They're both Alain Ducasse joints (formerly Mix, also by Alain Ducasse, who stayed on in the transition to Delano), and while the food and drinks are incredible, it's the view that will take your breath away. This is where you can find the absolute best panorama of the Strip, and also of the mountains to the west." - CNT Editors
