| - I have to admit, I was skeptical about this hotel because it is one of the older hotels on the Strip, but after staying here for NYE 2011, I would say that I'm a fan and I would stay here again. I'll put this review in bullet points:
PROS:
- Easy access! Getting on and off the freeway was easy. Finding parking on NYE afternoon was easy. Finding the way through the casino was easy. Getting our luggage to the room on our own was very easy (no maze, no long walk, no lugging your bags through a mall, then a parking lot, then ten casino rooms etc). We went from the parking garage to our room within 5 minutes easily. And most importantly, access the the Strip was fast and easy. If you forgot something in your room and had just walked out the Strip, it wasn't a big deal to go back and get it.
- The Tram to the Mirage: a nice bonus in cold or hot weather. It was nice to be able to have a tram to go to another hotel without walking a mile or two to get there.
- The rooms: UPDATED and CLEAN. Even on NYE and the day after, house cleaning was prompt, thorough, and quick. Upon arrival, our room was clean, the bed was clean, the bathroom was clean, and it was comfortable. The towels had a bit of a bleach smell, but at least you knew they were getting clean instead of having a BO smell, right? No complaints about cleanliness here.
- Customer Service: We got to the hotel on NYE two hours before check-in and went to the front desk to see if we could check-in early. And guess what, it wasn't a problem at all. The lady working at the front desk was polite and very helpful. We requested a higher level floor and she put us on the 31st floor and then said it would be easier for us because it was the first floor on an express elevator so we wouldn't have to wait for it to go to a bunch of other floors to get to ours. How nice of her!!
- Location: Beside just easy access to the Strip or the freeway, it has a walkway to the Fashion Show Mall next door and a tram to the Mirage on the other side. Walking across the street wasn't a problem at all. There isn't a maze to get into the casino like there is at others. It's at a GREAT location on the Strip, especially for the price.
CONS:
-Casino Smoke: This is a given though in ALL casinos in Las Vegas, but I think since it's a bit older of a hotel, the smoke has just been in the carpets too long, so you can smell the smoke a bit more here than in say a brand new casino, but it was never unbearable. The room wasn't smoky at all and was a nice get-a-way from the smoke.
- No refrigerator or microwave in the standard rooms.
