Overall the stay at the SLS was great! It was a last minute trip for only one night and as someone that visit Vegas often I have stayed many places on the strip. The worry withy the SLS was the distance to the main portion of the strip. The monorail resolved that issue and is cheaper than a cab cause almost no one should be driving late in Vegas ;). The room was smaller but clean and modern. The pool was exciting and good size. We ate at Ku that night and my bf who has eaten noodles in Hong Kong said that it was right up there with the authentic noodles he ate there. I wish we were able to stay longer to really explore the hotel but I will definitely stay there again!
