Stayed here in October 2013 with my family. It is a beautiful hotel, with amazing rates. It is close to everything but loses one star for location for me. I like to be right in the centre of everything when I'm in Vegas, but I'm lazy like that, realistically it's probably a 15 minute walk to the centre of the strip!
Pool area is nice, the hotel rooms are very clean and roomy. The staff were pretty nice and they have really good rates. So if you're on a tight budget this is a great place to stay!!
