We stayed there for a day during the Memorial day weekend. It was a saturday so most hotels doubled the rates and Hilton Garden Inn was the most affordable then. It was meant to a temporary rest place before we move onto the strip, but I was pleasantly surprised at that the room was newly renovated and very clean. We had a car but still checked out the hourly shuttle since Las Vegas Blvd is notorious for the traffic. We thought dropping off at Mandalay Bay and walking would be a better idea. For those who have never experienced the Las Vegas Blvd traffic, it can take 2 hours to creep from Mandalay Bay to last hotel on the strip. Yes, it is that bad, irregardless of whether you are in a small beetle, a public bus, or a frustrated hummer trying to ran everyone down. It'll be faster walking. The shuttle's on time and the driver's very polite. One thing I'll have to agree with the rest of the reviewers, the *free* internet there sucks.
