| - SLS is suffering from an identity crisis.... I know hotels in LV are no longer "themed" and the era of the NYNY's & Luxors are over, but in the way that Cosmo and Aria are cohesively designed, the SLS is most definitely NOT. It's like the designer had multiple personality disorder! SLS is trying so hard to be hipster, but it can't decide if it's the "woodsy/hippie/plaid-wearing/bearded hipster", the "urban renewal/ street art hipster" or the "spacey/other-worldly/ultra-modern hipster". I mean, what is with the hunting lodge themed buffet, the classic huge B&W gallery images, the graffiti wall, and the outer-space casino....I just don't get it. And the plaid jacket the staff members wear is like Scottish-golf-club attire. I'm so confused.
On top of that, the Casino is TINY. And that weird blob star fish statue up front is just creepy. And the elevator in the parking structure is still having issues....
Positives:
+Food options: Buffet was tasty and, if given a deal, definitely worth it (I'll have a separate review for this one), Umami Burger! Bazaar Meat! Katsuya! Basically a who's who of awesome LA foodie paradise.
+The Foxtail pool looked nice
+Sayer's Club decor....it's a small club, but I loved the ambiance, and would love to see a small intimate live music performance here someday
+Fred Segal :)
+Overall friendly staff
