Marriott Grand Chateau 1 and 2
The Marriott Grand Chateau is a mere two miles from McCarran International Airport. It's close to the Strip but not on it and that makes a huge difference in ambiance and atmosphere. The Marriott is made for relaxation with quiet, comfortable rooms and villas so you can bring yourself and a set of clubs or the entire family. The Villas go anywhere from 820 square feet to 2095 square feet with plasma television, down and feather pillows on the beds and a full kitchen for times when you want to stay in. In some ways, this hotel really is unlike the hotel casinos that dominate the Strip in that it doesn't have a casino on site and, because the villas have full kitchens, there is no on-premise restaurant.

Four Seasons
The funny thing about Vegas is that you can be on the Strip and be within less than two miles of McCarran International Airport. The Four Seasons Hotel is on the far southern end of Las Vegas Boulevard and offers luxury and a sanctuary from the frenzied action taking place just a couple of blocks away. Unlike the Marriott, the Four Seasons does have restaurants on site but it doesn't have gambling. The resort consists of 424 rooms and 84 suites all richly appointed with 42-inch plasmas, elegant sitting areas, and in-room coffee and tea service. The Four Seasons also offers a world-class spa and is a short three-minute drive to the Bali Hai Golf Club.

On the southeastern edge of the Strip sits the big green monolith known as the MGM Grand.

Along with your own butler, you also have a concierge who will call you upon check in to make sure you have everything you need and to help you plan out your stay, including reservations at local Vegas courses.
