| - My husband and I were very pleasantly surprised by this hotel! I got it via a Priceline bid so I didn't choose it and I'm always a little nervous going that route. But once we got there and walked around, we saw how nice it was. Very new looking, clean, modern, and welcoming. It's designated as a non-smoking hotel so it smells wonderful inside, like a spa, but unfortunately we saw a few people smoking anyway by the casino (ugh). So it does have its own small casino, along with a Starbucks and a "gift" shop on the lobby level. The pool and hot tub were on the second floor, we only went into the hot tub. It was small but nice and we were the only ones in it! Since this hotel isn't directly on the strip, it's not nearly as crowded as the others. But it's easily walkable so we actually loved it - less crowds and noise, but just as nice!
During the week, the Westin has a "happy hour" at 5 in which guests can go down to the 2nd floor and get free beer, wine, and water (maybe soda? not positive). There were also snacks like cheeses and chips, salsa, grapes, veggies, and a couple of hot items (quesadillas). We enjoyed it!
When we checked in, I mentioned that it was our anniversary weekend and we were immediately given a free upgrade to a "Preferred Guest" room on the second-to-top floor. Nice view and very nice room. The bed is "heavenly" as described! The bathroom was fine, average new hotel bathroom (granite, dual-head shower, but not very spacious). One bummer in my opinion, no free wifi. I believe the cost was about $11.99 for a day? I hate that, I really think it should be free these days.
Also, had a nice little coffee maker in the bathroom with free packs of Starbucks coffee, which I thought was a very nice detail!
All around great for the price level and we would go back. Will definitely recommend to people looking for something along these lines!
