I have both stayed here as a guest and attended conferences here recently. The rooms are pretty standard and on par with other hotels in the area. They are clean and comfy and the casino is well vented so the smoke is not to bad. It's all the way on the far end of the strip so it's a good walk from everywhere which is probably my only complaint. You can get around this by using the monorail. It has good restaurants and entertainment on site and the pool area is incredible. It's a sandy beach which is unique to the strip. I also recommend a trip through the aquarium. The conference space is HUGE. I averaged walking about 8 miles a day but I felt like it was laid out pretty well and includes elevators/escalators.
