Check in 6pm
$88 a night on priceline bidding.
Arriving I wouldnt say the place was dead but rather the lobby is so expansive that the amount of people there did nothing to make it look alive. There was no line at 6pm and quickly checked in (quicknote: $20 resort fee upon check in). There was a lady to greet you and walk you to your elevator as her job is to try to get you to buy some timeshare. Just told her ive been here before (a lie) and that im ok and she quickly stated to enjoy my stay and let us be which was nice as I was prepared for more of a fight. The hotel is completly new and it shows down to the carpet in your room has a foam-like substance that makes walking barefoot feel quite pleasant. I have stayed at PH proper and I would say the rooms in the original are bigger if only because the kitchenette in the towers takes up space. The room has automatic blinds and an expansive window in which I had a view of the strip and looked stunning at night. To wrap it up the good is the kitchenette has a can/bottle opener (you cant imagine how many times in vegas this problem has arose!) silverware, glasses and complementary water and a fridge that you can actually put things in rather then forcing your bottles with the expensive pay ones. The bed is huge and comfy and your sofa is a sofa bed for those in a pinch situations. The bad is in order to get to the PH casino takes about 5-6 min walk through the miracle mile shop which isnt too bad but if you want to be right there in the action I can see it as a minus. And I think a fellow yelper has stated this before but the shower heads kind of lack pressure which is only a deal because I want to sandblast the filth of vegas off of me and that shower didnt do much to make me feel any better. Other then those nit picks I say it is an excellent hotel for the price I got on Priceline and would strongly come again.
