| - I think they did a great job turning the old Sahara around into this a modernized trendy place. The location can be away from the core of strip, but it serves as a good middle point between the downtown area and the strip. The monorail station at the hotel also makes a great transportation alternative around the strip, and hopefully to the airport someday.
They have three different towers, all of them have new rooms, and I have stayed both sides before. The Lux Tower has the best rooms, and the beds did seem bigger in comparisons with the other towers. With status good casino or Hilton HHonors, you could generally get an upgrade there. They do not feature any rooms with two queen size beds, but rather full size, so it could be a bit tight for a party of 4 to stay in one of those. The room rates are usually lower than the rest of the strip because of the location unless there is a big convention at the Las Vegas Convention, then the rate would skyrocket a few folds.
I did not spent much time at the casino or the restaurants, they seems very trendy as well, and the restaurant selections within the hotel premise are reasonably good, and they seem to try pleasing the younger generation foodie crowd.
Of all the Hilton brand hotels on the strip, the SLS was definitely my top choice whenever I stay in Vegas. The staffs were professional, and after a certain hour, they have security guards at the elevator entrance ensuring only hotel guests can get in. The layout for both valets and self-parking were both conveniences enough.
