We stayed here in June after 3 nights at the Four Seasons in Las Vegas. It is not in the same league. Whilst the desert scenery is dramatic and the rooms comfortable they are not as luxuriously furnished as those in Vegas. Food was very good but it is irritating and small minded to charge extra if you want sausage as well as bacon with your eggs!
Biggest gripe was that in temperature of 40+ they could not provide pool beds with shade - how can a 5 star hotel run out of umbrellas! This also caused 'German' style reservation of shady beds which then were left unused but 'reserved' while people went to breakfast or even out for the day. In Las Vegas this type of activity was not allowed so why here where it was even hotter!
We had to hide in our room just to get out of the sun so housekeeping had to work around us
Also we had to ask for 'ordinary' breakfast tea in our room - a top hotel would note this and make sure that we did not have to ask again - unfortunately they could not even manage this small matter and we had to request several times.
The hotel also runs a shuttle to local restaurants but does not bother letting you know about it.
Overall quite good but certainly not up to usual Four Seasons standards
