| - I'm reading all these reviews and I'm completely dumbfounded by them. We began our Honeymoon here - booked a room for $59/night off of a great Travelzoo deal. Ended up upgrading for another $50/night to a jacuzzi suite overlooking the strip and it was perfect - the room was huge with a great whirlpool in front of the window overlooking the MGM grand and the mountains. The room had a surround sound DVD system, a very comfortable bed, a wet bar (we didn't do any entertaining, but it was a great place to put all our crap coming and going out of the room), and a large bathroom with a big shower and a separate room for the toilet. For a little over $100 a night, we couldn't have asked for a better place to start our honeymoon!! The hotel is clean, has great service and we liked the smell (each casino and resort has a different aroma pumped into it, in case you haven't figured it out...). There IS construction going on around it, but it didn't bother us at all - the pool area was clean (nothing floating in the pool, and we were there at the beginning of October) and though there was construction going on, they are well past the bulldozing phase, so it was just some general noise in the background and was generally overshadowed by the music in the pool area. The pools were great and the service was terrific. Our bellman who helped us with our luggage on the way out was extremely nice and even tried to call friends in CA to help us find the name of a restaurant he wanted to suggest to us (we were heading to Malibu next).
I've never been to Vegas and it was my wife's second visit (she previously stayed at Mandalay Bay) and we both absolutely loved it. We weren't there for "the scene" or for gambling, so I don't know about any of that. We loved the room, the service was great, the pool was just what we wanted, and it was a good deal.
The only caveat to this: obviously their special deals are working for them, since when we first checked in, they could only put us in a regular room with two double beds. We ended up doing the upgrade on the second night and they were very accommodating with the change. The regular room wasn't anything special - but not dirty, dated or noisy like some of the other complaints. I guess if you're not facing the strip it may be noisy because of the construction, but its not like the strip side is that quiet (it is the Vegas strip...) and we couldn't hear a peep in either room. I think people may be getting "dated" confused with "themed" - yes, the fixtures are big and ornate and old fashioned looking... perhaps French-ish? Perhaps even Monte Carlo-ish??? Hmm...... could be!!
