| - When in Vegas recently my company booked me a room here during a biz trip.
Used to be the Sahara. Now it's more of a cool hip boutique style joint. First time staying here and it was a lot of fun. Loving the rock star look and feel.
Monkey Bar in the main lobby to get a cocktail after a long day at the convention center was solid. Perq coffee shop next door fueled me up with tasty iced coffee each morning while getting ready for the day. The gym area was just ok and offered me a reason to get in a few workouts, but it could have been better. Some restaurants - Mediterranean, Sushi, Diner, Burger place - Steakhouse - Pizza place - all on the premises. Bar in middle of casino floor too with funky seating. The Foundry live entertainment hall features many big time musical acts. A few retail shops on hand to pick up drinks, toiletries, snacks, souvenirs, and such.
Nice layout to the gaming floor. More of a smaller sized casino but with plenty of slots and assorted table games. Yeah, the kid gambled a bit and did well.
Very cool retro chic Rat Pack vibe going on here overall but with a modern twist. The rooms in each tower and halls seem to have a fun decor/theme to them. My room was clean, good AC, hot shower, flat screen TV, etc. No complaints. Slept well.
Really nice pool area with a stage for nightly performances and a DJ. Being that it was 105 the days I was here I pretty much avoided going outside in the heat and blazing sunlight. Like a vampire I only galavanted at night.
The monorail is also connected here for easy travels up and down the Strip, and to the convention center.
Winning $500.00 playing .25 cent video poker made this biz trip even sweeter! Would love to come back for a pleasure trip next time.
