New Madrid Fault Overdue for Earthquake
Categories: Environment, Science & Technology
Betcha also didn't know that Missouri is overdue for a significant earthquake.
Those two issues were what Governor Jay Nixon and other officials discussed last week at a meeting in the town of New Madrid, home to the fault line that famously generated an 8.0 earthquake in 1812 that made the Mississippi River flow backward and rang church bells as far away as New England.
And while such a quake is only expected to occur once every five hundred years, the region is past due for a significant quake measuring 6 to 6.5 on the Richter scale.
"We are due, if not overdue, for a moderate-sized earthquake,'' says Missouri state geologist Joe Gillman.
Gillman notes that New Madrid is expected to produce a "moderate" 6.0 to 6.5 quake every 90 years. The last such quake to occur was in the late 1890s, meaning we're about 40 years overdue.
A 6.0 to 6.5 earthquake could crumble buildings and devastate infrastructure such as power lines and sewers, says Gillman. Still it would likely be less deadly than last month's 7.3 earthquake in Haiti.

Romance and Marriage
Vindicating Valentine's Day
By Caitlin Seery, February 14, 2013
These days, it's easy to be sick of seeing red. It's not hard to be skeptical of all the contrived romance the industry peddles, skeptical of feeling obligated to spend boatloads of cash just to meet some arbitrary standard of affection. After all, on what other day would a guy who sends his girl flowers, showers her in chocolate, plans a romantic dinner, and maybe even wraps up a sparkly little gift stay at baseline? Any other day that would put him in the running for boyfriend or husband-of-the-year, but on Valentine's Day, all the backflips in the world just keep him on par. It's easy to write the whole thing off. Plenty of people do.
But I don't. Not because I'm such a huge fan of flowers and chocolate (though believe me, I am). Not because I'm using the second day of Lent to throw penitence to the wind. It's because I'm such a fan of love and marriage. Not the gooey kind of love Papyrus would have me buy, coated in enough glitter to ruin my favorite little black dress. The real kind of love. The kind where two people look each other in the eye and promise to put the other one first—no matter the personal cost to themselves—for the rest of their lives. And then do just that.
As Eleanor Barkhorn recently
The Atlantic
, marriage isn't the 24/7 sleepover party that some advocates might try to spin it as. It's hard. Really hard. Even with zero personal experience, most young adults have a sense of just how hard it is—and many of us are consequently running for the hills. Today
young adults are
than ever before. And today, fewer young adults than ever before say they ever want to be married. Why go through the headache of lifelong commitment when you can get (at least most of) what you're looking for by cohabiting? Or by remaining a bachelor or bachelorette who dates around when it's convenient?
A small but growing number of
young adults
, however, are embracing more
traditional norms
with eyes toward marriage. They aren't doing it because they've been told marriage will make them richer, happier, and more sexually satisfied—though statistically speaking that's all true. They are choosing the
hard way
because they know it's right. They know marriage is their best hope for developing stronger character and for learning to sacrifice, forgive, and love. And as young married couples, they are counter-culturally welcoming of children—who require more love, more sacrifice, and more forgiveness than anyone is ever prepared for. They reject the idea that marriage is all about finding a partner perfectly suited to themselves, or about finding what makes them happiest.
These young leaders, many of whom I have the privilege of working with through Love and Fidelity Network, are an example and an inspiration to all of us. Just this weekend I attended a bridal shower for a couple serving in the Air Force, with one currently on deployment and the other just returned from a year overseas. Talk about radical self-sacrifice.
Even though I'm up to my eyeballs in red cellophane, I wish we celebrated this kind of love more. In our culture that glorifies romantic passions sans commitment, separates babies from marriage, and shuns personal sacrifice, the choice to commit oneself to another for life, to devote oneself to putting that person's good ahead of one's own, and to welcome children into the world, even when not convenient, is a radical one. Few things are more worthy of celebration than a radical choice to love selflessly, even to the point of self-sacrifice—and what better day to celebrate that radical love than St. Valentine's Day? After all, it's what St. Valentine's life, and his death, were all about.
Now, would someone please pass the chocolate?

The Dolans will never spend the money to bring a winner to Cleveland, because they don't have to .The Indians made more money before taxes than any other major league team last year $30,000,000,this is a fact no matter how much the Dolans and their paid shills try to spin it. Everyone should read todays News Hearald story about the Indians. Major league baseball is paying the entire salary for this years team $65,000,000. That means that everything else they take in is gross profit their only expenses are operational paying ticket takers and cleanup crews etc.
Famous Indians saying when July rolls around since Dolans own team. "LOOK OUT BELOW"
Nothing wrong with this team that three outfielders that can hit a thirdbaseman and a firstbaseman wouldn't fix. Throw in a couple of pitchers too
Wonder why the fans don't get excited about the team,this is the answer. Instead of building momentum after a three game sweep of Detroit these jokers lay down for Chicago,pathetic. To big mouth Perez you know why good players don't want to come to the Indians, it ain't the fans it's the owner. Ownership will not do what it takes to put agood team on the field that is spend money. All they need is a centerfielder a leftfielder a thirdbaseman and a firstbaseman and they could be contenders. Anyone want to bet they do anything about it? Oh and they need a DH too.
Pro Football Talk.com has the Browns taking Richardson at 4 and Floyd at 22. That would be awesome.
That's a really good one. Of course most of the pimple faced punks on this sight have no idea what you are referring to
Well they look like they are in midseason form to me. 100 losses coming up. In all sports you win with players and they have about three true major leaguers on the team. The reason is quite simple and every knowlegeable fan knows what it is" The Dolans will not spend the money necessary to put a competative team on the field. They amd their shills can talk all they want about small market team but Forbes magazine showed the made over thirty million last year. As long as they can keep making a profit by putting garbage on the field that is exactly what they will keep on doing.
Sure Dolan would like to win, but they won't do what is necessary to bring winning about,namely spend some money.As one writer already said I believe Forbes figures not Dolans dribble. They are making tons of money and he won't talk about STO because that's a cash cow nothing that the fans should know about.

GOOD NEWS GOOD NEWS --- Browns don't waste a chance to get a good player by drafting AKWS II.Idon't for a minute believe a thing that ESPN says reguarding the Browns and as far as the sea hag all she wants is to try to stir up trouble she has no sources except the internet and imagination. Now the Browns can draft someone who will help them this year and for years to come. They can use their second first rounder or their second round pick to draft a qb who can battle McCoy in training camp , either one will be twice as better than AKWS II.
Well one thing is for certain, If the Browns waste their first pick this year on Akiwi II then they will be assured of having the number one overall pick next year because the will go winless. Unless of course they trade it away to draft him wouldn't that be just like them
The happiest people around must be the running backs for the Browns opponents, they are guaranteed huge games because without a run stopping middle linebacker they will average over five yards a carry. With #52 trying to stop them they can run right over him,it happened all year long last year and it will happen again.
The only ones who want him are the fellow travelers of the plain dumb those who want to draft Akiwi Smith II those who want to doom the browns to mediocrity for the forseeable future.
This guy is a noodle armed bum.He won't throw because he can't throw. Can you say Akiwi SmithII
The only ones who want to draft that piece of garbage are the ones who want to ruin the team for another five years. That is exactly what will happen to the unfortunate club that selects him.The Browns have much greater needs than noodle armed noodle headed qb . The national media as well as the old lady want the Browns to be bad,that way they can praise the teams they root for and bash the Browns. I guarantee if they draft him they will not win over three games a year.
Boy what a ignorant bunch trying to defend the lowest form of journalism practiced by a snake in the grass. The truth is he should be fired imediately. He could move to Baltimore and be with the team he worships. To the dumbell who said the Browns need the plain dull more than the plain dull needs the browns the pd is nearly bankrupt and could well go out of business at any time, it's yellow journalism as practiced by grossi that is the root cause of the once great sports sections demise
RE: Grossi Cut off the head and the snake is dead
One thing I can guarantee without any possibility of being wrong. If the Colts hire Tressel as their head coach, they will have a far far superior coach than the one the Browns employ.
What a bunch of crap. Newsome is the same as Modell, a traitor as far as Cleveland is concerned. Why doesn't grossi aka a snake in the grass move to baltimore then he can be with his friends and not have to associate with the people of NE Ohio. This confirms where all of grossi inside info comes from.

'Steady' Ed Headrick invented the Frisbee and Disc Golf. He even founded the first World Frisbee Championship, Junior World Frisbee Championship, and Frisbee Disc Golf Tournament in 1979. Headrick was a spy during WWII and retrieved information from the Nazis.
He then became a deep-sea diver and welder. It was through this job that he also invented the oil skimmer after seeing the destruction oil spills cause. He didn't invent and patent the Frisbee until 1970. The 70s were a good decade for him, as he invented most of his other famous creations during that decade.
During this time he began travelling the U.S. and installing Disc Golf baskets and courses. In 2002 during a tournament in Miami, Headrick died of a stroke. His wife honored his wishes and had an open house party to celebrate his life.
She then had his body cremated and had the ashes molded into several Frisbees that were given to family and friends.

I want to tell my girlfriend I have a foot fetish should I be nervous?
If your boyfriend told you he had a foot fetish would you be happy, freaked out, or curious? I just don't know what to expect lol
Most Helpful Opinion
Just get into a conversation with her about things that turn you on. Have her tell you hers, and then mention to her that you have a thing for feet. I would think it's kind of cute and I'd be curious about it, but I don't think it would really turn me on or off.
That is what we most commonly find about our mates...sometimes it's a match...but...mostly we are doing something that is not life life threatening or injurious that makes our mate happy..I don't care about the same stuff my wife does...AND you get an Up Arrow...(:
Exactly. Thanks.(:
What Girls Said 8
My ex had a foot fetish, personally I found it weird but you just need to find that one person who shares the same fetish as you so you can make it pleasurable for both of you!
Not my down arrow...but..I don't agree with you...reciprocity is not mandatory...only a willingness to please your mate...I have NEVER looked at a female and said "I'm not into that..so I'm not gonna do it"
DO NOT use the word "fetish" to her! Tell her you think HER feet are sexy and feminior whuteva you like about them. Or you can just do what the first anon user guy answered. She might like it and it will be something she won't mind, you will just do it without even talking about it. Win win. Sometimes the talking kills the fun.
unusual...I agree with you...(:
I agree. Easing her into it without actually saying it's a fetish will probably benefit you.
What Guys Said 5
Maybe she has a fetish as well. Try bringing it up in a conversation, but don't start a conversation about fetishes in an environment where it could be weird. Lead up to the fact that you have a fetish for feet. Maybe she'll say something like: 'Oh my goodness! no way, I have a fetish for (something)!' You never know. I don't have a boyfriend, because I'm a guy, so I can't really answer your question. All I can say is, good luck, and stay calm, cowboy!
Have an opinion?

Last week's world famous portmanteau beta started off rocky but you all got the hang of it pretty quickly. So now it's time for Round 2, this time with the prizes I promised. Also, just like in real life I am hoping there will be less crying and more bewbs, but only you can make that happen.
Here are the rules. If you need any more clarification, just ask, or check out the old port to see how things work:
1. Portmanteau… what is it?
A portmanteau is basically two words, phrases, titles, or sentences that are tied together with one common word/part of a word. In this case it will be titles of movies and games. The last word of the first movie/game should be the first word of the second movie/game.
Night of the Living Dead Head Fred
Metroid Prime Suspects
2. One title must be a movie, and the other title must be a video game. No television shows or anything like that (at least not for right now). Which one comes first can switch from portmanteau to portmanteau.
3. You are allowed two (2) questions at a time, and you must wait until your previous questions have been answered before going again. If you ask more than two questions, your additional questions will be ignored and Jim Sterling will appear behind you if you say his name in the mirror ten times. Your two guesses can both be about the movie, or both about the game, or one of each.
Was the movie released after 1997?
Does the movie star Bruce Willis?
Is the game rated T?
Was the game released by Capcom?
Does the movie star Bruce Willis?
Does the game star Bruce Willis?
4. When you think you have an idea what the solution may be, you can use one or both of your guesses to try and guess the portmanteau.
5. No racism will be tolerated against white people.
6. Questions can only receive a "Yes" or "No" answer, so "How many...?" and "On which platform...?" type of questions can't be answered.
7. The game can be found using Gamespot's Gamefinder, and the movie can be found on IMDB.
Each week with every portmanteau, you will have the chance to win a prize. Just like at the carnival, if you would like a bigger prize you can save up wins (or credits or zenny or whatever you wanna call it) until you have enough to cash in for a giant stuff crab, or in this case a giant stuffed Master Chief helmet.
The lower end prizes may change from week to week (as I'm guessing that eventually one day a movie will come out that's actually better than Pan's Labyrinth) but the big stuff will remain until someone swoops it up. Additional prizes will also be added as the competition grows.
1* = Pan's Labyrinth (Widescreen, DVD)
2 = Odin Sphere (PS2)
4 = World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade Collector's Edition (Sealed, PC)
4 = Halo 3: Legendary Edition (Xbox 360)
5 = Vacation Package #1: Cabo, Baja Mexico (4 days/3 nights, unlimited food and alcohol)
5 = Vacation Package #2: Las Vegas, Nevada (4 days/3 nights, $100 Visa gift card)
* 1 is 1 win, so for 3 you would need to guess 12 correctly. Just kidding, it would be, hold on... carry the one... divide the equation.... pie over the matrix algorithm squared...okay, for the level 3 prize you would need 3 wins. Duh.
IMPORTANT NEW RULE: Once my portmanteau has been solved, the winner must create their own port which will be checked by me and then that port will be posted here. If someone can guess that port correctly within a set amount of questions, they will win a prize and the original winner will only receive a half of a point (two halves equaling a small prize).
Last weeks port was solved with 75 legitimate questions asked ("Can you give me Virtual Girl's number?" is NOT a legitimate question) by Gomeja. Technically it was closer to 100 hundred questions because I was asleep (which happens from time to time) and was unable to let everyone know that Gomeja was smarter than all of them, but this time I have the new Will Smith CD, some uncut heroine, and Guitar Hero on expert to keep me awake. Good luck!
I'm thinking of a portmanteau, meng…

Who said that trading during the summer period is boring? For the week, the equal weighted St50 momentum index appreciated 6.1%. 30 of the St50 stocks went up more than 5%. We experienced one of the most intensive and broad equity melt-ups during which the S & P 500 went up 5.65% and the Nasdaq Composite gained 6.15%. Most stocks went up. The big losers were the U.S. Dollar index ($UUP) and LT Treasuries ($TLT), which lost 2% and 3.45% respectively. The best performers on the St50 list were: $MPEL, $QCOR, $CCIX, $GLBC, $PSMT, $RBN, $LULU.
Market uptrends have different duration – some extinguish in 3 weeks, others manage to keep the momentum for several months before the imminent and needed correction comes. The common denominator between the uptrends is their structure. History never repeats, but it often rhymes. Most uptrends follow a similar cycle of four stages as the duration of each stage varies.
Stage 1: Momentum stocks outperform while the general market averages are still declining. The leadership is thin. From one side this is good, because you can concentrate on very few stocks; from another – not so much as most breakouts don't follow through or the gain is limited. Two weeks ago, some momentum leaders started to move into new high territory, but most breakouts failed. The St50 closed negative that week, slightly outperforming the averages. Then, on the following week, momentum stocks significantly outperformed the market averages for a first time in several weeks, indicating a potential return of risk appetite. We've said it here on numerous occasions – momentum stocks are the ultimate leading indicator.
Stage 2: All stocks go up and some laggards even outperform. Beta is the major factor here. All breakouts work. V-shaped moves are typical. The move is broad-based. Stocks in clear downtrends outperform as they reverse and squeeze the hell out of the shorts. Last week was a good representative of a typical stage two. Stocks like $RENN and $YOKU, which only 10 days ago investors could not get rid off fast enough significantly outperformed.
Stage 3: Momentum leaders outperform again as individual catalysts trump the general market impact. The market goes up on the back of smaller number of industries.
Stage 4: Momentum leaders roll over one by one as institutions distribute and take advantage of the liquidity to lock in profits. Small cap, low priced stocks outperform as 40-50% moves in a week are not uncommon.
The lack of bad news is good news. It feels like that for the foreseeable future, macro catalysts will play a secondary role. The earnings season is knocking on the door and individual stock catalysts should prevail.
How quickly the sentiment could change. We went from pessimism, to disbelief to fear of missing out in less than 2 weeks. In days like these, we better understand the concept that we don't have to be in the market all the time as there will always be periods when we can get aggressive and compensate for any temporary inactivity.
We have said before that some of the biggest daily and weekly market moves happen during downtrends. We are not in a downtrend anymore. The major market averages are within a striking distance from their 52wk high and the number of stocks trading at new all-time high continues to expand.
By all measures, the equity markets look overextended and a correction trough time or price is widely expected. The most surprising move that the market can offer here is to go up another 2-3% next week. Let's see who will prevail after the long weekend – the guys who positioned themselves short in order to play an eventual mean reversion or the guys who are afraid of missing out and are willing to chase here.
Be careful. Now it is not the time to chase overextended names. If this trend has more room to go, there will be numerous new setups that will show up. The beautiful thing about bull markets is that they provide more opportunities that you could possibly take.
See the daily charts of the St50 stocks on finviz; also weekly charts. Take a look at the About section to gain my perspective how to use the St50.
You can easily follow any or all of the stocks in the ST50 on StockTwits by clicking here.
Have a Great Weekend!

The 35-year-old defender is looking to enjoy a winning end to his Dons career over the remaining two games of the campaign having regained a starting berth for the last three matches.
Stuart's contract expires in June and the veteran believes he has more years left in him as he prepares to consider his next move.
"I have always said I will give my best if asked to wear the shirt again," he told AFC Wimbledon's official website. "I have done that and I want to finish the season on a high.
"We played well at Crawley and we were determined to beat Torquay, which we did. We wanted to give our home fans a good performance and I think we did that. At the moment it is going well and I hope that continues until the end of the season.
"I am as fit as a fiddle and have played over 30 games this season, and for anybody that is not bad. I am very confident and I have a couple of options for next season. I will just have to wait until the summer."

I purchased some prime NY strips last week at HEB, and they are brownish now, one even looking a tiny bit green.
Someone told me that I can just scrap it off and sear the $#@! out of it - and there will be no problems.
I purchased some prime NY strips last week at HEB, and they are brownish now, one even looking a tiny bit green.
Someone told me that I can just scrap it off and sear the $#@! out of it - and there will be no problems.
did you post on every food thread just so you could start this one?
go for it. report back if you are still alive
its like you just wet aged them at home!
butcher the outer layer off. smell the inner. if it smells off. chunk that $#@!. shouldve vacuum-sealed and froze those bitches
Prime NY Strip is what? $9.99 a lb? So you are risking some nasty salmonella $#@! for what is probably $15 worth of steak? And "seared the $#@! out of it" steak at that? Not worth the risk.
Pics... if that helps.
True, but more than anything I just don't want to make a trip to the store.Originally Posted by To be named later
Damn. He really did post on pretty much every food thread. There's like 20 of 'em in a ten-minute period.Originally Posted by scottsins
That's determination.
Yeah... I'm dogged that way.
Not worth the risk.
The "sell by" date is the 18th? Which probably means it was packed on the 16th? Personally, the 18th, sure. The 19th? maybe. But a week after the "sell by" date? No way.
One trip to the store is a lot better than 800 trips to the restroom.
What's the difference between this and 'dry aged' beef at a restaurant?Originally Posted by To be named later
Some guys on this thread seem to feel fine with it..
Sure, but one guy says to be safe, get internal temp to 170. If eat steak cooked that much, you do not deserve to purchase prime steaks, or anything else to eat for that matter.

alright Scottsins, I'm in agreement now. MC it is.
Yeah, grayish steaks are actually a good thing. Nearly black like that and with a greenish tint like you say, I'd pitch them. Those look older than a week, though.
Dude, don't do it. Put the rancid meat down. It's just not worth the risk. Even if it doesn't make you sick, I dare you to eat it and not think that it tastes funny. $#@! that $#@!. Punt!
He has a point -- if you're willing to torch a prime steak to the point where it's well done, then just pitch the prime you bought and go pick up some "select" crap for $3/lb or so. You won't notice the difference, other than the fact you won't spend the night (best case) hovering over the toilet (choose your outlet).Originally Posted by GlockandRoll
I say eat them, but that's because I don't like you or care about you. nothing personal
it will make a better story if you cook them, take pictures, then eat them. and then throw up. and then take more pictures.
then post. on Nasty's.
do it, do it
did you keep them in the refrigerator or freezer?
If you have a can of Wolf Brand Chili to go on the side, then I say go for it.
Yeah, don't eat it. For future reference, put it in the freezer if you're gonna wait several days to cook it.Originally Posted by GlockandRoll
Any good steak should not be left in the fridge/freezer at all. Should have cooked that $#@! when you bought it.
Meat or chicken ideally needs to be consumed the next day after purchase, 2nd day at max.
FYI: check the dates. Don't grab the package that says it was packaged yesterday when there are plenty of other packages that say they were packaged today.
Actually, it was probably the best home-cooked steak I have ever tasted... ever.
Next time you get a hankerin' for some venison...
Seriously... it was fantastic.
I've got some NY strip left if anyone wants some, I can warm it up in the oven.
what you can do next time is cut off the top and bottom layers that are discolored, rinse the steak off and then pat it dry with paper towels. hopefully the steak now doesn't have any discoloration. if it does, chunk it. if it doesn't, let it sit at room temp for 10 mins. after 10 mins if the top of the steak feels slimy don't eat it. if it's not slimy, put your nose about 2 inches away and smell it. if it doesn't smell like dead meat you can eat it. if it's a faint smell i'd through it away.
Well, I would suppose that any piece of meat that has a good head start on the decomposing process would be a little more tender than fresh meat, yknow.Originally Posted by GlockandRoll
Nearly every post here said "Don't do it".......so why did you bother asking if you weren't going to listen to the advice anyway?
Great question... I called a friend that owned a restaurant, and many other people that are big into grilling, one even being a butcher, that said as long as it doesn't smell like ammonia and have slime on it I'm OK.Originally Posted by To be named later

Read an article a while back on restaurants. Essentially, it said to never ever order a steak well done. Because this kind of meat is kept in a vat for exactly that purpose.Originally Posted by GlockandRoll
You can usually tell pretty quickly when it hits a hot skillet if it is ruined. It will really stink.
they dry age it. not sealed up, allowed to sit at a certain temp for a number of days.Originally Posted by Cheese
aging meat is allowing butchered meat to sit while the enzymes break down the hard tissuesOriginally Posted by Cheese
they do this in a controlled environment - temperature, humidity, and air flow
the 2 techniques are:
dry aged - where the meat sits "open" in a locker
or wet aged - meat sits in a sealed package
in a dry aging environment some of the fluids evaporates , "concentrating" the flavor.
wet aging retains fluids (mass) so sellers get more money out of it.
thus it can be said traditionalists prefer dry-aging
typically these are done from 14-21 days.
aged meats look nasty and browned on the outside
cut into it to reveal the pretty red color most expect
be aware that some retailers just pack their meat in CO to add artificial cherry red look
If the meat has maggots writhing around in it, it's probably a good idea not to eat it.
But a little green or gray?? No problem! Just eat it, grab your $#@! tickets and a good book, and enjoy your two day throne ride.
$#@! that. Just from those pics I'd pitch 'em
A good rule of thumb should be that if your steaks are gross enough to ask ppl whether or not you can eat them, don't eat them

Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators
First-rate service and an abundance of thoughtful details make this non-smoking, non-gaming property one of the best of the best.
Located in the massive, eco-consciously designed City Center hotel and shopping complex, the 47-story Mandarin Oriental represents a new brand of Las Vegas luxury: sumptuous accommodations minus the ornate glitz that characterizes so many Strip hotels. Sure, you're sacrificing the casino, dozens of restaurants, multiple pools, and high-end shopping you'll find on-site at luxury competitors, but that's sort of the point: The Mandarin is the rare Vegas property that lets guests leave the razzle-dazzle of the Strip behind.
For the many conventioneers and business travelers who come to Vegas every year, the Mandarin is a revelation. Even its meeting space is calm and understated compared to the massive convention halls found elsewhere in Vegas. For leisure travelers, the hotel represents the best of both worlds: A serene, luxurious hotel experience, with all the noisy casinos, restaurants, and shops you could want just steps away in the City Center complex.
My only minor complaint about the hotel is the elevator system. The guest elevator bank is located off of the 23rd-floor sky lobby, so guests must take two elevators to reach their rooms (one up to the lobby, and then a different one back down again.) But the configuration does keep guests more secure, and the sky lobby is stunning, with stunning views, so it's almost worth the hassle.
Warm, attentive, and professional without being stuffy, the Mandarin's service is among the best in Las Vegas.
In a city where most big-name luxury hotels have thousands of rooms, the 392-room Mandarin Oriental offers a rare level of service. Guests get a more personalized, intimate experience than they would almost anywhere else.
In the massive City Center complex, on the southern end of the Las Vegas Strip.
The Mandarin Oriental is the smallest and most luxurious of the three hotels in the City Center complex, a massive hotel and shopping center on the southern end of the Las Vegas Strip. The Strip, a densely packed three-and-a-half mile long stretch of hotel-casinos on Las Vegas Boulevard, is the city's main artery and tourist center.
It's the details that make these big, beautiful rooms truly luxurious.
The Mandarin's rooms start at a spacious 500 square feet, but it's not their size that sets them apart -- the less expensive rooms at the neighboring Aria are just as big. Rather, it's the details that put the Mandarin's rooms in a class above: bath salts by the deep, freestanding tub; wine and champagne glasses in the cupboard; a ceramic hair straightener in the bathroom; a "technology kit" at the desk; a reading light on the bed -- the list goes on. The same attention to detail went into the lovely Asian-inspired decor, which is unique to the hotel (no two Mandarin Orientals look alike). The modern aesthetic common in many new hotels can start to feel generic, but the Mandarin's brand of luxury is distinct, from the stunning light-and-dark-marble bathroom down to the mother-of-pearl headboard. The result? A zen-like haven to rival any of Las Vegas' luxury properties.
All rooms include:
Room types:
Suite types:
A non-gaming property that delivers quality rather than quantity.
The Mandarin doesn't have the slew of shops, restaurants, and pools you'll find at luxury competitors like the Bellagio and Wynn. But what the Mandarin does, it does very well: Its spa is first-rate, its pool area is lovely and low-key, and Twist by Pierre Gagnaire is one of Las Vegas' best restaurants (which is saying something). Plus, the Mandarin's deliberately scaled-back approach allows guests to enjoy its features in relative peace and quiet. You'll sacrifice the variety of options you'll find elsewhere, but you'll still have everything you want -- unless what you want is a casino.
Although it's better suited to business travelers and adults, this non-smoking, non-gaming property is a fine choice for low-key families.
For well-heeled families who want to shield their children from Vegas' casinos, scantily-clad cocktail waitresses, and drunken revelers, the Mandarin is a reasonable choice. This grown-up, serene property isn't the kind of place where kids can run wild, but I did see a few splashing around in the pool.
A top restaurant from a Michelin-starred chef and a Pan-Asian bistro.
A new breed of Las Vegas luxury, with 392 elegant rooms and some of Vegas' best service, the Mandarin Oriental is a quiet haven on the glitzy Strip. The hotel lacks the characteristic excess that many people come to Vegas for (including a casino), opting instead for a more restrained approach: a beautiful spa, two fine dining restaurants, a peaceful pool, meeting space, and the rarest of Las Vegas features -- serenity. But the convenient City Center location means easy access to all the excess you want.
