| - I stayed here for a recent business trip and found it to be a breath of fresh air in otherwise smokey Las Vegas :)
When you go to Vegas for fun, a casino in your hotel is not just fun, it's convenient! You're going for the party and the night life, so that's to be expected. When you go to Vegas for business, all that stuff can be overwhelming when all you want to do is rest and maybe go out for dinner.
The Renaissance is one of the only smoke free hotels in LV, which is AWESOME... it was so nice to not come home reeking like an ash tray and having to re-wash all my laundry. Plus, this was the first time I came home from Vegas and didn't get sick- which if you ask me, speaks volumes of this hotel's cleanliness.
The gym is clean and nice, and has a lovely stocked (free!) fruit bowl and water. The machines are newer, and some even have video screens built in them.
While the steakhouse (Envy) downstairs was raved about, I had no intention on blowing my entire day's food allowance on once meal so I opted for tapas at the bar. I left full and satisfied, and the cost was much more reasonable.
They lose a star for charging so much for wifi and for the thin walls. Saturday night was tough to get to sleep early when our neighbors came home obviously pretty wasted... plus, hearing alarm clocks in other rooms made for earlier mornings than necessary.
I'll happily stay here again any time and would recommend it to either the business traveler or anyone who doesn't want a smokey casino-like hotel.
