| - I really love that there is a Westin so close to the strip - literally one block away from two tram stations and 2 blocks from the best shopping areas (planet hollywood & ceasars). The hotel casino, gym, bar, conference rooms are amazing, but the room that I was in was crappy (except for the heavenly bed). There was a big ass tv in the room (no flat screen) and the remote was finicky; there was a digital scale in the bathroom. but no batteries; there was no fart fan in the bathroom (not cool!); and pool and spa was small and full of loud kids (expected, but still not cool). Thankfully, I used my free points to stay here, but I think that's part of the reason why I got such a shitty room location. I've never stayed in a smaller room before. I understand that this is vegas and they love to have shitty service and oddly screwballish kind of rooms and amenities to try and make you get out and spend your money, but damn what good is it if I never want to come back?
It wasn't all bad though, the resort fee is $12, but it comes with valet service (if you want to tip), boarding pass printing, water in the room, use of the sauna, and gym. The casino area is relaxed and not smoke filled and loud. You can actually learn how to play the games because the dealers have only a few customers playing at a time. Oh, the best part is the happy hour! There is an open bar in a room downstairs where you can drink wine (white and red) or beer for 2 hours! Needless to say, I got my $12 resort fee EVERY night.
