Here are the things that I love about this hotel:
1. Great location. I don't often spend time on this end of the strip, but if was a nice change of pace and easy to get pretty much anywhere.
2. It's literally right on the strip so you don't have to walk 30 minutes FROM the strip just to get into the lobby.
3. The casino (and hotel hallways) don't reek of smoke. Instead you get assaulted with the smell of coconuts. It's a decent trade-off.
4. Rooms are a decent size for your 'standard' sized hotel room. Decor was wicker and palm tree's. I haven't been inside a Tommy Bahama store in a while, but I have visions of it being similar.
5. Casino is small so it only takes about 40 seconds to get to Starbucks once off the elevator.
Here are the things that I didn't love about this hotel:
1. Sports book needs more tables to chill and not just those little cubby things.
2. Beds are super uncomfortable.
3. A/C in the rooms is bad. Like really bad. So bad that I could never imagine staying here during the summer months. I even called the front desk asking if they turn it off during the winter because our room never seemed to cool off.
4. Rooms don't have blackout shades. This is the lamest thing ever.
My better half loved this hotel, but personally, I don't think I'd stay here again. The pool seems like it would be cool during the warmer months, but I'm still loyal to the Palazzo.
