| - Location, location, location! Close enough to the action (right across the street from Miracle Mile shops and Planet Hollywood), but far enough to get some peace and quiet.
Make sure to enjoy the little pool area on the rooftop. The view is spectacular! Yes the pool is very little, but it's enough to plop your body into and cool off from the desert heat. It's pretty crowded, though. There's also a bar outside.
Also ask the concierge about discounts. And if you have little ones, take them to do some of the activities the hotel offers. It's a very family friendly hotel. They have video games that you can play in the little rooms and lots of arts and crafts sessions.
We did not have a suite, but the best part about this place was the fact that the room came with BOTH a microwave and a fridge. We stayed at MGM and it was lacking. We saved so much money eating leftovers. (Vegas is definitely not cheap.)
There was only one actual bed in the room, but the couch turns into a fold out bed. I was nice and let my friend sleep on the soft cushiony bed. The fold out bed is not for light sleepers. It's not too comfy.
No, there is no casino, and no restaurants or Cirque du Soleil inside. But the little marketplace thing stays open for 24 hrs. You can purchase groceries to cook your own food. The room came with actual dishes and cups and dish detergent. Lol. It was like living in Vegas.
By the way, I'm not sure what Tyrone A. was talking about. My friend is African American and I'm Asian, but we were treated fine.
