Ahh to be whisked away to a faraway place called the JW Marriott....ok maybe not "faraway" per se, about 10 miles from my house. But this place provides the ultimate staycation or just plain vacation if you're not from around these parts.
First off, bring your walking shoes because JW Marriott is massive. Connected to Rampart Casino, just when you think you've walked the whole property, there's more! A beautiful courtyard, huge pool complete with waterfall and poolside bar, and perhaps most importantly, gorgeous rooms.
This was the location of my best friends wedding. The wedding coordinator was so helpful and understanding of last minute requests or changes. The ceremony was held in their outdoor gazebo and reception held in their former nightclub, a great space with huge windows and breathtaking lighting.
Even the standard rooms are beautiful and roomy. But the suites...oh the suites. The 2 bedroom version was larger than many people's houses and includes a wraparound terrace with great views. The junior suite is wonderful as well, super comfortable beds and sitting area.
Truly a top notch property, it's a hidden gem for people looking to get away from the strip.
