| - This was mine and my dad's first trip to Vegas, so I was going to go for wow factor for him. I had found a great deal through Costco travel for the hotel. When we arrived we were the only people checking in on a Wednesday night at 8pm. Lucky us, since they had miles of que line rope just waiting for the rush.
It was a quick check in and then enough walking to make you know you were going to be really fit by the end of your stay. We were on the 25th floor. The room was beautiful with a sunken living room and a great view of the mountains and the strip. I wasn't so impressed with the strip view because this hotel sits at the end and you see Treasure Island clearly but the others are blocked out by the size of the hotel itself. No biggie, it was still gorgeous.
They did waive the $25 a day resort fee since we weren't using internet or the gym. We moved the car so it was closer to the elevators for the rooms and this cut the walking down.
I am going to lump out second stay here in with this review. We first stayed Wed-thurs night and came back on Sunday. Sunday I had booked a room directly through them. Despite Sunday being much more crowded than the weekday, we once again walked right up for check in and the guy asked if we wanted a strip view and higher floor, an 'upgrade'. Okay, cool. I had been happy with the 25th floor before.
However, when we got into this new room, it was not the sunken living, nor did the shower have the extra jets in them and it was a stripped down room, and this cost $267 a night. OUCH. We were all like, WTH? It was same view we had before but now we were on the 45th floor. I had paid less for the other room, it had nothing to do with the rate calendar, believe me, that was the first thing we checked. So, if you want to make sure you have a sunken living room and more deluxe room, ask at the front desk before upgrading.
Overall, we had a great time and I would go back and stay there again, I would not stay there if it wasn't the sunken living room suite just because then it is like most other hotels. For the cost of the room, you want to feel like it was worth it. We were going to stay at the Flamingo on the second trip Sunday for the ease of going to play Keno, but decided to go back here.
The beds in the first room were more comfy. I though it was just me in the second room, but right away my husband and dad were saying the beds were hard in this new room.
If you watch the rate calendar you can get rooms starting at $109 a night. If you area Costco member, you get some perks, so check that out.
