| - I have to say, this hotel has been nothing but disappointing, and we still have three nights to go. We came to Vegas for a wedding and stayed here as the bride had booked a block of rooms. The only plus thus far is that it's pretty central within the strip.
Thus far: Parking is a nightmare. There is construction going on where the usual entrance would be and the only signage is a tiny sign hidden behind trees letting you know to make a U-turn and go around back. Then, the elevators from the parking garage to the lobby are disgusting. They look like death. Not to mention, parts are missing - as in, you look up, you can see the cables. Super re-assuring.
Check in: We arrived at 11pm on a Wednesday. We were waiting 30+ minutes to check in! I would have to imagine they're used to crowds, they should really have more than 4 people checking people in. Yowza.
Room: The room (if you get an updated one) is fine. It's big (we had two queens, standard room). Problems: The bathroom vent fan filter was absolutely filthy. Dust everywhere. The toilet and the shower ran - constant noise. Both the lights in the room didn't work. Walls are very thin, you can hear everyone and everything in the halls and next door. Also, ask if you are going to face the pool area - music blasts until about midnight (Which I don't mind so much, but you'll want to know). The beds, I will say, are super comfortable. No complaints there.
We ordered room service - a 'movie package' which included 'large popcorn, Red Vines, two sodas and two bottles of water" - $25.00. When I called to order the lady put me on hold three times and finally said "I'll call you back" because apparently this was a new menu item and she couldn't find it. When she did call back, I had to remind her about the sodas. What arrived (45 minutes later): Two bags of microwave popcorn (half popped), 4 Red Vines, two glasses of water, and two mini-bottles of soda. Excellent.
Overall, I'm not impressed at all. I love the history of this place, and its location, but it's so not compensating for the rest of the mess.
