Starwood Platinum lifetime guest. I was really expecting the worst given the reviews but was pleasantly surprised.
The pros: friendly check in. Clean room with great upgraded toiletries and fun style. Comfortable bed and great shower pressure - good food options. Ate at Northside and Kaysuna
The cons: the gym was clean but not a huge fan of techno gym and the rower was broken so that's a negative for me. But totally just a personal preference. The biggest negatives really were that the hotel smells like smoke (of course. Las Vegas) and that it isn't front and center on the strip. But overall it's a great hotel for the money and doesn't deserve the poor reviews in my humble opinion.
