This is a very generous 3.
We stayed at the Augustus Tower a few years ago and it was great. Magnificent room and view of the pool.
This time we decided to give the Octavious Tower a try. We had 4 rooms four out group. Street view and not quite as nice of rooms. We arrived at about 1.30pm and the rooms were ready. Like all hotels, on the day of check in if your room is ready before the stated time of the reservation, in this case, 4pm, they give you your keys a couple of hours early. But here's the twist. Cesar's had found a new way to squeeze every possible cent out of its customers. They now charge $30 if you want to check in an hour or two before 4pm.
The rooms have very few amenities that 5 star hotels usually offer. No bathrobes, just basic shampoo and lotion. Definitely no mouthwash, etc.
There is also no soundproofing. You can hear every word the strangers in the room next door are saying in normal conversation.And of course, you hear their TV.
The Buffet is good but the most expensive on the Strip at $60 per person. And if you want coffee from the Starbucks downstairs expect to pay about $6 for a tall and 50c for a cup of ice water (tall) that is free and whatever size you want at any other Starbucks not in Cesar's.
