I have stayed at this hotel, Excalibur, Stratosphere, MGM Grand and Mandarin Oriental on my trips to Vegas. This is not a bad hotel but theres nothing that stands out here.
Pros:
*Location location location.
Close to MGM, Excalibur, Ceasars and a lot of other hotels on the strip.
*Free parking garage (as most hotels on the strip)
*Lots of restaurant choices to choose from.
My favorite? Gallaghers for the steak.
*Rooms are large and modern. Feels like its been recenty remodeled
*Starbucks opened at 05:30 in the morning wich is great for the jetlagged europeans
like myself.
Cons:
*While not an expensive hotel i think its a little to pricey for what you get.
*The pool area. Small and with poolbar that fits it and theres not a lot of people there.
It also gets shady pretty early in the afternoon.
Conclusion? This is an "ok" hotel with fair pricing and lots of restaurants that has a good location on the strip. As the Excalibur is cheaper, has the same quality of rooms and a lot better pool area i would stay there instead. Yes the lobby/casinopart of Excalibur feels really old and dated but as im not a gambler who spends a lot of time there, i dont care.
And if moneys not an issue? Mandarin Oriental all the way in Vegas where the service and ambiance is unmatched.
