| - My mother has a non-terminal form of cancer. So I've been to a lot of fuckin' hospitals in town as a visitor, is what I am saying.
This one, I think, is the one you want to land at for your scheduled surgery. It is clean. The nurses at my mother's room seem on the ball. They put her in the woman's ward, and because she's had bad experiences at other hospitals with roommates, they gave her a private room on request. It is normally the isolation room, which is a bit weird. She had a problem with the television, and despite being short handed, maintenance got it fixed within a couple of hours.
Amenities: well, all hospitals in Las Vegas have free wifi these days. Theirs is a pretty easy system to log in, and it was fast. They also have complimentary valet, which I appreciate. I broke a vase and had to buy a new one at the little shop: they gave me a discount for red day. Nice.
Cost: I don't know yet, my mother's insurance is picking it up.
Cafeteria Food: Cafeteria is clean, but cash only. On the day I went they had baked chicken, thai veggies and fried rice on the hot menu. I went for this and a bottle of mango juice, which was about 7 bucks all together. The baked chicken was dry/flavorless, but the fried rice and veg was surprisingly flavorful for hospital food. Except the veggies were drowned in oil. I saw the nurses carrying out bowls of just fried rice.
Overall, it is well lit and clean and if you had a choice for elective surgery, the rooms are much nicer than at UMC or Valley.
