| - In Vegas, you will find hotels that are newer or more extravagant than the JW Marriott, but there are only a few that can match the old school class and elegance of this excellent desert haven. It's not the first place to come to mind when you think of Vegas, but it only took one stay to convince me of its place among the premier hotels in Sin City. It's not perfect and the layout is a bit odd, but it's definitely a laid back Vegas experience for those wanting less hustle and bustle.
Pros
Friendly staff
Clean and comfortable room - great bed
Non-smoking property
Quiet - feels more like a villa than a casino hotel
Food options
Cons
Off the strip - might disappoint those looking for a "classic" Vegas experience
Non-smoking property
I don't know where to start because the whole experience was memorable. From the super friendly check-in to the peaceful vibe of the resort property, I just cannot say enough good things about this hotel. Other hotels try to impress you with how new or big their resort is, but the JW Marriott simply charms you with a combination of service and the desire to satisfy the guest. If you're tired of the loud and hectic environment of the strip hotels, then you're in for a pleasant surprise desert getaway.
The hotel is off the strip - that's really my only negative comment. I guess you can say that the hotel's architecture isn't as impressive as the newer monstrosities or that the casino floor is dead compared to the ones on the strip, but these things also lend to the overall character of the JW Marriott. By the way, by not being on the strip, you avoid the usual drunk and annoying folks that you meet in the elevators and casinos.
The hotel is perfect for couples or families. You won't get the typical Vegas experience but it's kind of nice being surrounded by golf courses and private homes. The breakfast buffet was awesome - I highly recommend getting the breakfast at all JW Marriott and Marriott hotels: waffles and omelets cooked to order, not to mention the fresh fruits and other hot foods. I will post a separate review, but The Carmel Room is a "can't miss" dining experience. My wife wants to go back to Vegas just to eat there, again.
There are only a handful of hotels that I like to stay at while in Vegas, and the JW Marriott is on that short list. With specials, the rooms are quite affordable, and although it's a quieter experience than staying on the Strip - it doesn't diminish the Vegas experience one bit. This hotel is an excellent example of the Marriott chain and makes me want to visit the other JW Marriott locations across the world.
