No doubt this hotel is nice. The rooms, particularly the bathrooms, are spectacular. Service is also great and the staff are exceptionally friendly and handsome, holding open doors and elevators.
I spent three nights here and was able to check out everything but the Buffet. The place is very clean and well kept and offers a surprising range of amenities. We stayed at Mandalay Bay last time and I had a hard time keeping hydrated during the multi-mile treks across the place.
The faux Irish Pub is marginally more interesting than a Bennigans - offering Guinness does not an Irish Pub make - with slightly overpriced mediocre food. The Japanese restaurant was a nice treat and pretty good. The cigar bar was a nice looking retreat, but that was about all. The waitress was great, but the poor girl was sent into battle with no ammo. The cigar bar had 5 whole different kinds of cigars and NO CAPTAIN MORGAN's! What kind of a bar, let alone one in Vegas, runs out of CAPTAIN MORGAN's? They practically issue a pint to everyone who visits an ATM down here, but I digress.
The casino is a responsible size and very friendly. The crowd is a mix of retirees and conventioneers. I didn't seem to see many locals, who I am told favor red rocks down the road.
The rates are very reasonable and if you want a relaxing vegas vacation without the chaos of the strip staring you in the face every five minutes, this is a great choice. Summerlin is a short drive from downtown or the strip.
I could have gone 5 stars if they had more variety in the dining department. Everything else is pretty good and certainly a good choice for a convention or conference.
