| - My job requires me to travel a lot, and my boss told me to change my flight home to a flight to Vegas to assist one of my colleagues with a training event. When I'm at Vegas I normally stay at MGM-owned hotel because I'm an mLife member, but this was the weekend of the Mayweather fight and it was also the first week of the NBA playoffs so I was bound to spend an arm and a leg.
LVH showed up on the HotelsTonight queue and it didn't seem half bad. For a good price I ended up getting a very spacious corner unit and free Wi-Fi. That's something you don't get at some of the best hotels at the strip. While the room looked good, it was when I got to the bed where things got weird.
The bed in my room looked to be one of those that flips over to the wall. While I have no issue with that, the gap between the mattress and wall had so much lint and dust that is quite scary looking. Don't get me wrong, the bed was clean, but the upkeep of what was behind it was rather concerning.
Anyway, the TV sucked too, because the quality was horrible but the hotel did exactly what it needed to do for me.
I'm guessing the spot is pretty old. I hear it was the old Hilton, and all the dealers and people at the casino seemed a little older. But that doesn't matter. I won big at the craps table that night, and the shooters were all hot. I was a bit afraid because everybody looked intimidating... I won't go into too much detail, but hey -- I won, and that's all that matters.
I'll look into this place if I come into another situation where I can't use my mLife card. But I hope they fix that bed situation. The location IS off strip, but the monorail is here and it's very affordable, so that shouldn't dissuade anybody from saving money and staying here.
