| - I'm writing this review whilst I sit at the desk of our junior suite on the 30th floor. It's coming up on midnight, and me and the gf just got out of the jetted tub where we'd been soaking in a hot bubble bath for almost two hours. Late-night munchies have hit us so we're thinking about ordering some room service. I see Southern fried-chicken and mash potatoes w/ gravy is available all night, yum. It's our last night here, so we're kinda desperate to make the most of what's left of our 4 night stay. President Obama is due to arrive in town around the time we'll be heading to the airport, so I asked the concierge to send our complimentary limo (a perk if you take advantage of the Prima Privilege Program) an hour earlier than originally planned. Would be nice to hang around to maybe catch a glimpse of the POTUS, but oh well.
It was a nice little vacation here at the Signature, although not a flawless experience. Our room greeted us with a slightly unpleasant odor (like someone got sick in the room some time ago) that was annoying enough for me to call housekeeping to bring a can of deodorizing spray. Help didn't come until after a third call to the front desk to explain the situation. Maybe because it was the 4th of July that they were slow to respond, but this kind of delay at such a highly-rated hotel makes for a somewhat disappointing experience. It must be noted that some minor trash was found under our bed, as well as a moist spot on the rug. Disconcerting stuff to say the least.
Well, after the initial bad feelings, I have to say that the staff at the Signature made the rest of our stay pleasant and comfortable. For example, we slept in on a couple days, preventing housekeeping from making their rounds. But a call to the concierge is all it took to get our room fully serviced while we were away at night. And the housekeeping staff is very transparent here, no apparent noise in the hallways early in the morning or even a sighting of a maid or cleaning cart. I don't know how they did it, but I am impressed.
The amount of walking required when staying at the Signature is considerable if you don't like to walk or are unable to be very mobile on foot. One good thing about staying at the Signature is that you're relatively close to the monorail that runs the length of the Strip - very convenient. If you're considering trying the Prima Card, make sure to ask the concierge to explain the program benefits in detail. We got the impression that some of the vendors associated with the program were not at all familiar with how it operates, and found ourselves having to explain the program more than a couple of times. Depending on how important the benefits and perks are to you, you may or may not be willing to front the $500 that the Prima Program requires.
I'm giving the Signature 3 stars, but it's really more like 3 and a half. Can't go as far as giving it a 4 because of the initial room issues and because the hotel is located just far enough away from the Strip to keep it from being ideally situated. Also, the pool was too crowded to go swimming in comfortably, while an adjacent pool intended for weekend use only remained vacant. But go ahead and give Signature a try - you might have better luck and have a 4 or 5 star experience. And if you find a good price online, it should definitely be one of the better deals in town.
