| - LVH is getting an upgrade from me!
I wound up getting a room at The LVH the other night. I'm not going to lie, I wasn't expecting much.
Well, I'm here to tell you I'm a believer in The LVH! The room we stayed in was recently remodeled and very large and comfortable. We had a standard room, but upgraded to the premium (as opposed to the classic).
Here are the pros and cons of The LVH premium rooms and of the casino in general:
Pros:
-Very spacious rooms, recently remodeled
-Flat screen TV with plenty of channels
-Comfortable bed
-Well-lit bathroom, large shower, vanity mirror, and real hairdryer
-Room and bathroom were spotless
-Friendly employees at check-in, easy to check-in
-Lots of deals to the restaurants for staying at the casino
-No ridiculous resort fee like every other casino in Vegas charges their customers
-It has a Vegas Monorail station
-Very close to Convention Center
Cons:
-Furniture a little worn
-Bathroom could be a little bigger
-Radio needs replaced with an iPod docking station
-Could hear the neighbors at 3 in the morning drunkenly talking about their exploits in Vegas
-Shower was cold at night (but was fine in the morning)
-Getting to the parking lot is a hike
-Check-in and check-out can get heavily backed up
-Casino is far from everything else in Vegas
-Casino is seriously lacking restaurant choices and interesting bars/lounges to spend the evening
Basically it comes down to this: Are you ok with driving or riding the monorail to visit the rest of Vegas and to get dinner? If you are, you will save a ton of money staying here without sacrificing a comfortable place to stay. We really enjoyed our room and on the Thursday night we were there we paid only $40. $40 after tax! The hotels on The Strip were going to cost at least $80 a night after resort fees and taxes, and that was for the Excalibur and Luxor which have older rooms than The LVH.
If you are more concerned about convenience and don't want to worry about getting in a car to find dinner, then I would think about staying somewhere on The Strip. If you would only be taking a cab to get around, you're going to lose a lot of the money you are saving on a room, so - again - I would think about staying somewhere else.
I really hope The LVH gets some new bars and restaurants soon to make their casino more of a destination that people would want to stay at. Until then, I just have to take it for what it is: a nice hotel with an ok casino that's far from the real action in Vegas.
Four stars based off of quality of room and price I paid. Still sticking with my two previous stars based off the casino alone.
