I was here for a destination wedding this past weekend and found that these bad reviews do not represent this place. The room was clean, orderly and comfortable. We loved the cabanas and pool. Check in was as smooth as you can imagine and the staff was helpful. Loved the bartenders, they came up with good drinks and great attitudes.
While it was 2 miles off the strip, it was simple to get a taxi to the action for only $10.00. Plus having the Hard Rock Casino across the street made it simple to get a quick fix of a game and then back to the party and pool.
Stay there if you want a nice ambiance that is not right there but easy to get to the action of the strip.
