| - TI was great. We matched with TI on Priceline for $40 a night, and figured it would be a terrible place because we got such a great deal. Nope! Everything was lovely.
Room: The room was huge, modern, and beautiful. We let the person at the check-in desk know that it was our anniversary, and they offered to upgrade us; we got a corner room. This is a very specific pro, but I really liked their bath soap. It has bumps on it, so bathing was like getting a silky massage.
Hotel in general: It was... okay. The casino seemed smoky and not as open as other ones we saw. The attraction, though (the Sirens of TI show) was a lot of fun. The one thing that surprised me about the hotel was that they charge a daily service fee of $20. I take it many Vegas hotels (but not all) do this. They try to convince you that you get stuff for your $20, and I *guess* you do (free wireless internet, a 2-for-1 buffet coupon that we used and enjoyed, a "special screening area" for the Sirens show)... but still... it felt sneaky.
Location: Wonderful. This is considered the north part of the center of the strip. So you're still in the middle of all the action, but you're not in the middle of the middle of the action. We walked most everything (though took a city bus to Freemont St), and thought TI was a great location for walking. There's also a Walgreen's across the street, which means you can buy cheap[er] breakfast foods and snacks there.
