| - I was here in post-Christmas December 2010 and put a lot of things in my body, said a lot of things out of my mouth, and let yet other things hang out of my mouth in here with little to no care. We had a view of the Luxor next door, and an ok view of the strip. Room was about $130 for a King bed, fairly large and hospitable bathroom and separated living room if you wanted to segregate business and ...well, sleep.
The lobby is appetizing and gives you a fair prelude of what you'll have in the rooms, but alas, I still find it a letdown that flat screen TVs are still not the norm in Vegas. But to THEhotel's credit, there is a flat screen, 14"-ish, TV in the restroom so that you could watch from the bathtub, which unfortunately has no jets.
The suite will make you feel like you got a good deal in Vegas, but that you're still missing out on some key throw-ins that should be part of any no-holds-barred sojourn of hedonism in LV---jets in a bathtub, comps for at least a day to a resort, FLAT SCREENED TVs, and slightly sleeker furniture. When your furniture itches your skin a bit, you know you've probably skimmed a little too much and should reassess why you came to Vegas in the first place.
This up and coming hotel can't compete (except for with location) against the Palms, where your bathroom will be fit for the sultan of Brunei and prices for rooms at heights above the 50th floor are comparable if not $10 cheaper. If you have to have the strip, this is a good place to experiment with.
