we couldnt get our usual suite at the marriott grand chateau for this trip so we ventured down the unbeaten path. my friend got us a discount on 2 suites for the weekend and what sold us was the perks..
free breakfast buffet with made to order omelet station. free happy hour from 5-7pm. and shuttle service
the rooms were small. the bathrooms lacked that "strip" pizazz you might be used to, and they put is on the highest floor on the very very back. the staff was really helpful for anything we needed and we were in need of much
there was a shuttle from the hotel to the convetion center and also to the wynn which helped save money; taxi service racks up fast. There was a gas station that sold beer right next door, tons of couches to lounge out in the lobby, and a neat little fountain that had these confusing air bubbles that made it seem like fish were being pumped directly into the fountain.
I cant remember the name of the latina bartender but she made these amazing bloody marys. everyone loved them and were sure to get ordered a few more times throughout the night. they had complimentary snacks too. popcorn, nachos and trail mix.
there was a cool african american dude at the front desk too, i think his name was kevin. he helped out alot since i didnt want to put the $500 authorization on my Debit Card.
also there was petite pinay chick at the gift shop who took reservations on her downtime. really pretty and very helpful.
we didnt use the pool much but it was indoors and kinda small.
all in all it was a success. the stay was legit.
