| - We came to Vegas for a 4 day/3 night stay to celebrate our anniversary. We had a two night stay at the Orleans already booked (for free) and decided last minute to try this hotel out for our first night. Overall, we're pretty happy with our stay...
When you first pull in to the parking lot you're greeted by a guarded gate. After confirming our reservation, the gates opened and we were directed to the correct tower (we stayed in Tower 3). Loved the security of the guests! When checking in, we were asked if there was any special reason we were staying there and I mentioned that it was our anniversary - we received an upgraded room on a higher level (PH) without asking! Customer service was AMAZING!!! Not just at check in, throughout the entire hotel! Every single employee we encountered, from the front gate security guard, to the valet, the bell guys, the maids, everyone was very, very nice, professional, efficient, and made us feel welcomed!
When we arrived in our 30th floor penthouse room, it was beautiful! A large suite with a HUGE bathroom and spa tub. The "strip view" through the huge floor to ceiling windows was nice, but you can't really see the strip from it. The Hilton vacation tower blocked much of our view, but we were able to see the Linq ferris wheel, and at night, it was lit up. The ferris wheel must not have been working because we didn't see it move once during our entire stay throughout the weekend, but it was lit up pretty. We saw everything you can see in the photos provided by previous guests... a large, plush bed, the couch (which was super comfy), sitting chair, and table in the mini living room, a small table with two chairs to eat at, a fridge with 2 small bottled waters, a coffee maker, sink, two burner stove (shocked by this), and in the cabinet, a toaster. We didn't use any of these except the fridge, which kept the drinks we had bought from 7-11 pretty cold, so not sure if they all worked or how well they worked. There's plenty of drawer space for utensils, but they're all empty so you need to bring your own. The TV was nice and there was a DVD (may have been BluRay) player available. The closet has lots of space and has an iron, ironing board, and extra blankets and a pillow (I assume for the couch's pullout bed, but we didn't use it), but I didn't see any robes like some other reviewers had mentioned.
The bathroom is lovely, with nice flooring and double sinks so there was plenty of room for both of us to get ready with nice toiletries. The shower is spacious and I love that the toilet is tucked away in it's own separate little room for privacy. We've been married a long time, but we still enjoy our privacy during bathroom breaks! The spa tub is, again, HUGE, and YES, is plenty big enough for two!! The Mister is 5' 11" and I'm 5' even, and we're both a little "meaty"; we fit perfectly with some room to spare! Me alone, I was practically swimming in it! The jets were a lifesaver, because both of us had backaches after the long drive through traffic from California. We didn't want to leave the tub, but had tickets to see a show at the Mirage. We did end up getting right back in when we got back, even though it was nearly 1 in the morning.
As much as we really enjoyed our stay, there were a few downsides:
* Although the rooms seem private, you still hear everything going on in the room next to you. I don't know if the lady next to us was just a naturally loud talker, but we could just about hear the whole conversation. I know I laugh loud, so I was afraid that I would disturb them when we were watching TV. I could hear guests turning the water on and off and flushing the toilet in the room on the other side of us, too (only when we were also in our bathroom, so not a huge deal).
* It's kind of hard to get into the spa tub because the edging around it is so wide. I'm short, so I usually have a tough time with large tubs, but the Mister is pretty tall and even he had a hard time.
* The faucet in the spa tub was a little loose, like someone had leaned on it one too many times (probably because the tub is so hard to get in to).
* The shower tile was very slippery! This could be a hazard. I mentioned to the Mister that I knew we wouldn't be able to bring my 75 year old grandmother (who we bring to Vegas a lot) to this hotel because she wouldn't be able to use the hard to get in to tub or the shower because she might slip. A shower tile that's more porous would be helpful and perhaps a bench in the shower.
* The bed sheets pretty stiff. The bed was comfy, but the sheets could have been softer for a nicer rest.
* One sink was clogged with a bunch of ash looking stuff in it. Since we were only staying the one night, this was not a huge deal or reason to complain to the front desk, so we both just used one sink.
We paid $190 for a Friday night, a few minor issues, but still not a bad stay. We may return again, especially if deals are provided by our MLife cards!
