| - Apparently the SLS Las Vegas is the old Sahara. I wouldn't know, because I never went into the old place, but I can only assume it was old and crusty. Management has done wonders, and turned the property into a classy, and modern property. Biggest potential downside is that its on the "end" of the strip that sorely needs more development...or redevelopment. But look at it this way - if the SLS was more centrally located on the strip, it would certainly cost many more $ per night than it did cost. So there's value, at least right now, and more nightlife/action is just a cab ride away.
Casino looks up to date. Couldn't smell smoke (but I did smell some type of perfume they might pump in?) Everything is clean and new. Staff was friendly and efficient at check in (check in desk features animated monkey pictures which move - kinda cool). There are several restaurants on site, but many are not open until the evening, and I was disappointed the buffet was closed for the season.
My room in the "World Tower" was on the small side, but that is probably because the designers were constrained by the old Sahara room layout. King bed was comfy (also it was pretty new, and not used up), and had a couch at the end. The giant, lit mirrors on either side were a nice touch I might like to replicate at home, and added ambience. Bathroom was nicely designed, and the shower had fantastic shower pressure, one of my pet peeves about hotel bathrooms. Toiletries were good quality. I had a small window above my bed that looked at the top of a parking garage which was a bit of a disappointment, but not everyone can have an amazing view. It's luck of the draw in some cases.
I ate at the Unami Burger, and the Griddle. Those will be mentioned in another review, but they are pretty solid. No real problems during the stay except a noise nuisance the first night coming from outside my window...on the 16th floor! Calling the front desk at midnight, the first person I spoke to said the music would be on till 4am ("some people come to sleep, and others to party" she said). I was incredulous she could be right. What purpose would that volume of music serve...and I'm on the 16th floor. I asked to speak to a manager...and the first person was wrong. There was a private suite blasting music in one of the other towers. SLS comped me $25 at checkout for my troubles, which I suppose is better than nothing, and paid for a breakfast. I needed to be up early the next morning for a trade show.
For a clean, classy, place to stay, one could do worse than consider the SLS. Shame there isn't much to do in the immediate vicinity!
