Oh the happiness! As a SPG Gold member, I was acknowledged by the check in staff, offered a free drink as a welcome amenity and given my traditional SPG points amenity with a "Happy Birthday" comment, even though my birthday was still about a week away!
Hotel has a fun bit of hip old glamor mixed with a new chic energy of foodie happiness. If you have the opportunity to try the restaurants or the $49 foodie card they have, do not pass up the opportunity! 5 restaurants with an appetizer and an adult beverage for $49 in Las Vegas?!? Awesome deal and amazing food. Save Cleo for last, because the food is amazing.
The World Tower suite was nice, but I hate shower only bathrooms and there are no bathtubs unless you are in the penthouse type of rooms. I used the work desk regularly and the internet was great.
The in room amenities were above average and the cleaning staff kept my room spotless, the bathroom always stocked with everything from lotion to a sewing kit (that I actually needed so it was awesome) and even a cool black make up wash cloth. The minibar had a wide variety or offerings, including some interesting bedroom toys. Who would have thought to find THAT when perusing the snacks?!?
Great hotel that makes getting onto or keeping away from the strip as easy as changing your mood or your shoes.
