| - I've always wondered what it was like to stay at THEhotel. I've stayed at the Mandalay Bay and that was pretty nice but the s/o said that THEhotel is the bomb. Hmm...is it really? As much as I hate to say this, yeah it was pretty awesome!
During our last adventure to Vegas, I made reservations to stay here. I like how the hotel is secluded, not talking about it's location on the Strip, but the location of the front desk and elevators. It's like, if you're walking through there, you're a hotel guest otherwise, you're really lost. When checking in, there was a long line, ehh, every Vegas hotel has a line, no biggie. When I got to the desk, this handsome but cocky Twink checked me in. (That's not derogatory because I'm allowed to say "Twink" as I was one years ago. :) ) Gurrrl, I mean, duuude, you can tell that he and the other desk agents check in hundreds of people a day so, you're pretty much dealing with a robot that has his schpeel down, no genuine small talk here; unfortunately, you're a number, not a guest. (That's where my -1 star went.)
The elevator bank had 6-7 elevators but the cabs were quite small, thankfully they don't stop at every floor otherwise we were screwed.
When we got to the room, I mean, THEsuite, it was exactly how it looked like online. A living room area w/half bath and wet bar, a bedroom and a bathroom with a stand-in shower, soaking tub, dual vanity and a private toilet. THEsuite wasn't elegant like the Venetian or plush as the Wynn but it was more trendy, if anything. Now I can see why the s/o liked it, the decor were dark woods and clean lines. The bed was quite comfortable and the bath amenities were awesome. I didn't like however when our room was serviced, they replaced all our bath amenities which were barely used, with brand new ones. IMO, that was quite wasteful.
Speaking of which, around 12pm we were in the room a housekeeping representative called to see if we wanted our room serviced, because we had the Do Not Disturb sign illuminated. I asked her what was the latest and she said the housekeepers go home at 4pm. What? For such a large hotel, you won't have one or two housekeepers on duty beyond that time? SMH.
Beyond the little quirks in service I encountered, they're quite easily to overlook and yes, I can honestly say that I'd stay here again!
