| - So I'm staying here solo for a couple of days, waiting for a conference to start when I get moved to Caesars.
This is a weird place to me. It's nice, but falls just a smidgen short in just about every way. Plus they put "Le" in front of everything, which is not even a little bit le cute after about five le minutes.
The rooms are nothing special, and are kind of turning the corner between "new" and "time to redecorate", but are clean and well appointed. The beds are nice and comfy -- not too hard, not too soft.
The casino is just like all the rest in Vegas.
The restaurants are just like all the rest in Vegas - buffet, steakhouse, Italian. With the possible exceptions of the Burger Brasserie (lamb burger!) and the Sugar Factory (great malts!)
They nickel-and-dime you on everything, just like all the rest of Vegas. $15 a day for Internet. $25 a day to use the gym. Robbery.
It is in a good location, though - nice and central, and on the monorail.
So it is with mixed emotions that I go with a 2-star rating; I'd go 3 if they would include Internet, dammit - this isn't 1990. For the price and reputation of the property, I kind of expected a little more. But there's nothing WRONG with the place, really.
