One of the best-kept secrets in Las Vegas is the soothing Tea Lounge situated next to the Sky Lobby in the Mandarin Oriental on the 23rd floor of the exquisite luxury Hotel.
Once the elevator doors are whisked open, guests are knocked-out by a breathtaking panoramic view of the exotic desert oasis resort, for starters.
The chic upscale nook is not only a cozy environ - but the perfect respite from the throbbing frenzied heartbeat of the glitzy strip below - for sure.
According to my sources, the aesthetic tea room has become a magnet for a handful of guests who prefer to multi-task on their laptops, while they sip on exotic blends of tea, savor a tasty dessert, and meditate on the glorious skyline beyond the ever-popular spanking-new City Center.
One pet peeve, however!
Although management has posted an over-sized menu at the front entrance, the staff have failed to itemize the charges, for some inexplicable reason.
Perhaps an old axiom rings true.
If you have to ask the cost, maybe you can't afford it?
Or, are the charges so exorbitant, that the prices have been held back to prevent potential customers from being scared off before electing to be seated comfortably inside?
In my estimation, there is a practical (deceitful?) reason behind it.
Once a person is settled in for their afternoon treat, it is doubtful they'll exit in a huff, if the bill-of-fare is too expensive.
Who wants to embarrass themselves in front of a posse of prying guests (or be considered cheap) after all?
Enjoy!
