| - Decent hotel. The wife and I went to Vegas to see some shows and do a little gambling, but knowing our trip would fall during the dog days of summer, and the weekend, we know our options were limited in regards to hotel price. So, we had to venture off the strip and found Doubletree. It was one of the few hotels directly off the strip that was a major chain and also wouldn't require you to put a deposit down for "incidental charges". Whatever.
Solid room all around and the staff were very friendly. The room was a little small, but had a nice tv, as well as hbo. They also give you a free shuttle to the MGM grand. It is around 5 miles off the strip, but with the shuttle running every couple of hours, you can save on taxis. They also had free wireless Internet and a nice fitness room, which are always a nice touch. A $12.95 breakfast, was pretty subpar, considering they had limited options. All in all, a nice weekend was had, but with the exorbitant price of $100+ a night, I would hesitate. This hotel usually charges sub-$50 during the week, so take that price.
