| - Ahhh Westin, you had me hello. After reading some of the other reviews, I was slightly worried as to how my visit would turn out. After all, I was leaving the comforts of Vegas and going to the Westin for a relaxing ladies trip. But I was more interested in the Westin than any of the other resorts.
Once I arrived I knew I would enjoy myself. This was my first time at Lake Las Vegas and I was determined to have fun. The check in process went smoothly and we were taken to our room. We were even allowed an early check in. The room was great. The view was amazing and it was time for a drink and the pool.
We took a quick stroll around to see what was offered and headed up to the "adult" pool. Don't let that fool you though, there were still kids around but it didn't have that "oh my god, the kids are driving me crazy" feel to it, just the snotty teens hanging around trying to be noticed. The five of us ladies settled in and waited for a drink. And we waited and waited. Really? 5 ladies ready to spend money and tip big and you can't even come over and offer to get us a drink. After 30 minutes we got our own drink at the stand up paddle bar and headed back for our chairs. We finally had to ask someone to take our drink order and to come back regularly. Even though that didn't happen and we had to frequently go get our own drinks, it was nice to have someone occassionally bring them to us.
The prices varied from bar to bar for the same drink or the same round of shots. At some point the drinks were a couple dollars off which wasn't that big of a deal. But our first round of lemon drop shots were over a $20 difference in the second round and we had the receipt to prove it. We were told constantly that the computers were messed up so they all charged differently. Come on Westin, get it together. No matter which bar or staff member, drinks should all be the same price. That's where one star got taken away because it became such a fuss and really a joke, each order we were paying something different.
Our room was great. Very clean and spacious. Great view. We even took advantage of the shuttle, where we caught a ride to the Village for dinner.
We woke up and headed down for breakfast then back out to the pool. The service was much better on that Sunday but still the drink prices were all different. The restaurant was great (different review) and once again the staff was amazing! I will definitely be back!
