| - *************** All that glitters is not gold *************
You pass by the fountain watching its spender, wander through the casino, the "O" theater, the retail shops, it all just feels so great. So the lodging experience has to be even better right?
Nope, keep walking. When do you realize this? It all starts with the check in experience. High brow hotel? High brow service? Nope, get in one of the random lines and pray you will get checked in. No one to direct you to an attendant, no one to organize the guests, just kinda figure out if you are in the "right line". In my opinion, not a good start, but I was still looking forward to relaxing in the room.
From there, while the room was nicely appointed, once you look past the glitter, it is just a basic room. Mine came with a slow running sink and well used towels. Not my idea of a 5 star hotel.
Clearly the big plus is the location, but that has a bit of a downside too. I found getting in and out of the hotel parking area was problematic because of the foot traffic on the Blvd. Big glitter, big hotel and I would stop at big disappointment, but clearly a disappointment.
