| - Almost 5 stars ( in retrospect, had to come back and give it all five, this place is my new favorite casino.) I gambled here about 2 - 3 times a week for a month, then stayed there my last day in Vegas. The gambling is pretty fun. The high ceilings help the smoke to waft away. I'd leave there barely smelling of smoke, unlike other casinos where you come out smelling like an ashtray. The drink service was slow, but serviced by many pretty women with big fake boobs. You can get top shelf cocktails or what I usually got, Newcastle beer in a bottle.
As for the hotel rooms, WOW! One of the nicest places I've stayed. The rooms either face the strip 5-6 miles to the east, or Red Rocks Park a mile or two to the west. I had a room on the tenth floor facing the strip. I could see all of Vegas, which was spectacular at night, what with the ceiling to floor window at the end of the room. Big platform bed, big screen LCD tv, marble bathroom with TV over the tub, separate shower, his and her sinks, bathrobes, slippers, you name it. We had fun hiking Red Rocks in the afternoon, then getting cleaned up and going down to the club downstairs, which was hopping after about 1030p (you get in free if you are staying there). Came back up and enjoyed the room and the incredible view. This place is pricey, but you surely get what you pay for. Not to mention they have a giant bowling alley and a multiplex cinima and IMAX here also. I think I just scratched the surface, there's lots more to do here.
PS Be sure to check your bill on the way out. We had a minibar charge from their high tech, pressure sensitive minibar, when we had not even touched it. They promptly took it off the bill. Also, you will have a ~$27 "spa" charge on your bill. That's for use of their gym and spa amenities, which we didn't even get to. Next time...
