Yelp reviewers once again scared me half to death for no reason! I booked a 2 night stay through Priceline at a great price. By looking at the pictures of all the rooms I chose the World Tower and very glad I did. I was aware of the resort fee cause well hello it's Vegas. Unless you're staying at Motel 6 expect to pay a resort fee. We arrived on Saturday October 24 at noon and figured we would check in and hope they had a room available. There was no line and were immediately checked in. I had originally booked a non-smoking room but we decided to change it to a smoking room and we were accommodated with no problem. Once again, I did my research so I knew that there was going to be a hold put on my credit card but was pleasantly surprised when I checked my bank account and was still able to use all my money. No hold! Yay! The World Tower is located right by the entrance/registration desk so no walk at all. I will say that the halls, as mentioned by some reviews are kind of creepy...but I'm a metal head so I actually thought it was kind of cool. Our room was on the 10th floor all the way at the end of the hallway which we liked. The ice machine was located right outside our room so that was cool as well. I had stayed at the Sahara before so I was aware that the rooms were on the smaller side so no surprise there. Our room was beautiful! Very modern. My boyfriend fell in love wit the decor...white and chrome. Bathroom was very beautiful, modern and spacious. Loved the light up mirrors and the super comfortable bed! Check-out was a breeze as well. Called the front desk at 10:50 and was able to get checked out with no problem. The resort fee was charged at that moment and a copy of my receipt emailed to me.
All staff members were very friendly and helpful. We went to the Foxtail Nightclub on Saturday night and had lots of fun (separate review to come). After the club we asked if there was anything open to eat since we were drunk and starving. We were directed to some restaurant within the casino ( too drunk to remember the name). We ordered buffalo wings and fries which according to my boyfriend I thought were delicious lol and our bill was about $16. Wish we would have gone to the pool since the weather was perfect and yes it was open during our stay but we forgot our bathing suits. Next time. Valet was friendly and we didn't have to wait to long for our car. Oh and the casino smell great BTW. Not old and smoky like some of the other casinos.
Overall, we had a great stay and already booked our room for EDC week in June! See you next year SLS!!!
