| - Every year I head to Vegas for the AVN Expo and this year it moved from the Venetian to the Hard Rock. I decided early on not to stay at the Hard Rock, mostly in part to the $169 a night rate, which would of brought my total to well over $500 before taxes. Once I found out that the Alexis Park Resort was across the street from the Hard Rock, I booked immediately. The location and convenience sealed the deal and I was looking at $300 for the four night stay.
The shuttle ride from the airport to Alexis Park Resort was incredibly short and I was the first person dropped off. The exterior of the hotel is surprisingly nice and resembled something tropical with its Spanish decor. I was a little worried about my early checkin, but the front office had no problem with me being over four hours early. Checking in was a breeze and the employee handed me a map of the property, which looked quite extensive.
The property has about 18 buildings, which resemble a condo or apartment complex. In addition to those 18 buildings is three separate pools, four or five ballrooms, a restaurant and bar, a chapel, and a gym. Two of the three pools were closed, but the pool that was open did have a hot tub, which is all I wanted, especially since the pool was not heated and was freezing.
As for the room, I chose a room on the second floor of one of the buildings. The room was impressive for the money. It was not a hotel room, but an apartment. The room included a wet bar with stools, a sink, refrigerator, coffee maker, ice bucket, and microwave. The adjoining room had a desk, coffee table, sofa, and a TV. As for the sleeping headquarters, it consisted of two twin beds and a flat-panel TV, with the bathroom connected.
I was thoroughly satisfied with my stay. If there was anything I did not like, it was the AC/heating machine. I felt the room was hot all the time. I played with the thermostat, but it didn't improve much and hotels don't allow their windows to open. I managed to get the room temperature down, but it's obvious that they need new machines. WIFI is not free and they do charge per day/per device, which could easily add up with tablets, laptops, smart phones, etc. The property does have many other amenities, but I was unable to partake. I did however get a drink at their bar, which was a reasonable $10 for a Long Island. For those looking to save a few bucks, I highly recommend Alexis Park, as I was able to stay a Wed-Sun for $278 including taxes.
