| - Based on a quick check of the five star hotels in Vegas right before Memorial Day weekend, the Trump was the cheapest option, so away I went.
The hotel, and the rooms, are beautiful. It's described as "off the strip", but it's not far. It was a 5 minute walk or so to the Wynn, and probably 10-15 to the Palazzo or Venitian. Where it is right across from, however, is the Fashion Show Mall, which may or may not be a plus.
What is a plus to me, maybe not to others, is the fact that this hotel doesn't have a casino. This property was a failed condominium project that almost went under and was converted to a hotel when the real estate market dropped after 2007. It has a small pool area, a so-so spa, a nice fitness center, a tiny bar, and a small restaurant.
The rooms, as mentioned, are gorgeous, and the bathrooms are huge. (I was expecting a tacky gold gilding and mirrors look from Trump). Definitely a location to relax at while you're in the room, and cab or hoof it when you want to go out on the town.
Donald, you're hired.
