| - Being that this hotel has the word Trump in it, I didn't want to book it and I didn't want to like. However, hard as I try I can't find any reason not to give it a 5 star.
We did book through a travelzoo deal and expected to get 2nd hand treatment similar to other bookings I've had through hotwire; however, it was anything but the case.
The hotel is located a little bit to the side of the strip right across from the Mall with Nordstorm and about a 8 minute walk from the new Wyn towers.
There are no casinos in the hotel and was exactly what I wanted. The smoke of stale cigarettes and beer is not what I want to smell right before bed.
There is a shuttle that takes you to either Ceasar's palace or the Wyn every 10-15 minutes.
There is only valet parking - Good because you don't have to walk back through the heat of lots to your hotel, bad because its really annoying to call up a valet each time you forget something like say beer in the car.
The room we had was HUGE. We had a king size bed, a love seat, a little couch, a kitchen area with a tea pot, coffee maker, one of those European two burner stoves, a mini fridge, and drawer with utensils, can opener, bottle opener, etc waiting for you to move in. And the bathroom had a shower, two sinks, a toilet area, and a hot tub and a TV! Very cool to watch the news while brushing my teeth.
The beds were comfy and I never heard any of the noise from the side-rooms which I was surprised to learned had like 20 kids in there, or the hallway. So good internal soundproofing. HOWEVER, the room we were in faced a train stop or something where in the middle of the night there were one or two (maybe three) loud train honks. I heard one at night, but I once I'm asleep, it didn't bother me. It did bother my bf whose a very light sleeper, so you might want to ask about that before checking in to get to the other side.
I mentioned the trains as a sidenote about my boyfriend when I checked out and said it didn't bother me at all since I slept through it all. The guy said our hotel stay is pre-payed already but he waived all our charges such as the resort fee without a second comment. I didn't think the train was that bad (BF did) but I can't say no to free stuff and no resort fee for a few days. The resort fees I think are $25 per day.
There's a pool area with very comfy chairs.
My only real complaint is the gym! The gym was nice, had wet towels, dry towels, 10 treadmills or so, a few ellipticals, weights, water and everything a gym needs but it was like 75 or 80 degrees there! I know people who sit and walk in a gym like it warm, but those of us who try to run are dying! Might as well just run outside, that's hot hot it was in there! Really a shame because it was one of the nicer hotel gyms I've been too, just wish they lowered the temperature there a bit more.
However, after camping for a week in a small tent on the ground, life couldn't get any better than our stay at Trump tower vegas.
