Tea Time @ Mandarin Oriental, Las Vegas
Tea Time @ Mandarin Oriental, Las Vegas
Their menu can be found at their website. The afternoon tea set is $40/pp. It includes a huge pot of tea, and 3 dishes of finger foods. They don't seem that they'd be filling, but they are! The tea room is located next to the reception desk area. When booking a reservation, ask for a window table.
The plate setting:
My Formosa tea:
Jams, sour cream, for the scones:
Little sandwiches:
Scones:
Little desserts:
Apple Macaron($2):
The macaron wasn't good at all, pass on those. The tea was good. The setting was a little odd...being next to the reception. Down the dark hall is Twist. It's a very dark hotel except the tea room area with it's huge windows over looking City Center and Planet Hollywood.
