ok, to be clear i did not love this hotel. in fact, i though it was just ok. why the 4 stars then? well, because in comparison to a lot of other vegas hotels, it's pretty good. it's younger and more low-key than the venetian or bellagio and not at obnoxious as the palms.
the husband decided this would be the place to stay for my first trip to vegas. (yes, i'm 30 and this was my first trip to vegas. what does that say about me? first, if you're judging me ask yourself how many times you've been and what that might say about you. ok smartie let's move on.)
our room was spacious and clean and i loved the framed photos of icons. i wasn't a huge fan of their casino area. it's not as well ventilated or as pumped full of oxygen as the bellagio or venetian so if you're sensitive to smoke, it's gonna annoy you. i'm not a gambler tho so i just avoided it.
the staff is nice and respectful and the pool is pretty cool with a fake beach and everything. you will definitely see girls with fake boobs and in g-strings here and they're always fun to watch as they angle for the attention of the nearest meatheads. we ate breakfast both mornings at mr lucky's which was solid if not impressive. the "rehab" breakfast was pretty good actually.
also hit up their club--body english--which is free before midnite if you're a guest. thank God, cause being an SF girl i was not about to wait in a line to be judged on the size of my breasts or how pretty i am just to give some asshole $30 to let me into a club full of other assholes. give yourself pletny of time tho. there's a mob scene a at midnite all of them pleading with some ponytailed david beckham lookalike to let them in. body english played pretty fun music and there was great people watching here too.
also they're conveniently located righ next to the airport and across the street from a pharmacy --just in case you need meds or water that doesn't cost $4 a bottle.
