| - I originally purchased ownership at this location in 2005. Back then, when an Owner booked a room here, they were given a "Welcome Gift" upon check-in that included things like a travel size toothpaste, a ladies razor, mints, floss, coupons for shopping and dining and sometimes even a hat. Also included was a 10% discount for the Marketplace located on the 1st floor, which comes in handy if you forgot something or wanted to pick up a quick sandwich instead of going out to eat since there is nothing really close by if you're in a hurry.
Now your "Welcome Gift" consists of some coupons for dining at the Las Vegas Hilton, coupons for the Harrah's properties, shopping discounts for Macy's, a discount or free appetizer (I can't remember) for Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville and Planet Hollywood Restaurant. None of which were of any use to me. Toothpaste, I can always use. Also no longer offered? Any sort of discount at the ONLY place inside the property to get food, drinks, etc. Zip. Zilch. Nada.
Really? I've dumped THOUSANDS of dollars into this place already and I can't even get a measly 10% off of a deli sandwich after a 5-hour drive to get here? Are you f'ing kidding me?
Also, if I tell the Agent when I book the reservation that I don't want to attend a presentation during my stay, I expect NOT to be asked repeatedly to attend. Three "No's" during the initial conversation, coupled with three "No's" when I checked in, compounded by another two "No's" after checking in when an Agent called my room is not acceptable. NO means NO.
When I get inside the room, I feel at home. I wish my apartment was this nice, but the aggravation that goes along with "ownership" is beyond annoying. I'm now debating selling.
