SLS Las Vegas is like taking a hot date out for the night who wears a gorgeous dress and heels but forgets to do her hair and put on her makeup lol. I was impressed with some things - the odd but cool decor of the room, the comfortable bed, amazing glass shower with 2 heads and the restaurants inside the hotel/casino. However, I was mostly underwhelmed with the overall experience in staying here for 2 nights. The the hallway carpets had stains on them. The casino is pretty corny/small. The ventilation system doesn't work well because the casino and hallways wreaked like smoke with a nasty cover-up perfume that was so strong designed to mask the scent, but made the smell even more intolerable. The general population who stayed here seemed to be minorities and foreigners. The pool is very nice but not enough lounge chairs and too many old people (although it was a weekday). I would not stay here again because it feels like they did a half-butt job of remodeling this place and there are much better options in Vegas and much closer to the action (SLS is way up on the north end). The only logistical benefit was that even though the hotel is far away, it was right next to the tram station so you could go up and down the strip relatively easily. I would not stay here again, however I would return to eat at Katsuya.
