| - If you are looking for a place to stay in Las Vegas and you have a car, this would be fantastic. It's a new-looking, quiet, modern Marriott with great amenities. The gym is better-appointed than most Springhill Suites gyms. There was a pool on the roof, although I didn't go in it. The breakfast was passable (weird eggs), and free, which is always a plus. There's a happy hour with free drinks and potato skins. I got fantastic sleep, because the beds are crazy comfortable.
Now, here's why this place isn't getting 5 stars from me. I was in charge of a conference that we had at the Springhill Suites. From what everyone else says here, we were overcharged for the hotel rooms and then overcharged again for the tip on meeting rooms and banquet (22 percent rather than 18 percent). MOST of the staff are friendly, but there was one guy at the desk who had a very bad attitude. And the only reason that the conference went off without a hitch is that I double-checked things every day before every panel. Their banquet manager was MIA for the entire second day of the conference and nobody seemed to be in charge; on the first day of the conference, things weren't set up in the morning as they should have been.
