| - We stayed here specifically for the view -- We had a "fountain view" room so we could see the Bellagio, it was great. We could see the Eiffel Tower from our bed. This was the biggest plus of our stay.
We were happy with the room except that the bathroom doesn't have a fan. Also the safe didn't work even after requesting a fix (we have no idea if it was broken or what, they didn't leave a message or offer an alternative). Also the tv controls were funky-- couldn't use the remote to turn it on..and the volume went to full blast and it reset to some channel each time it got turned on. So immediately had to hit the volume down button, which then went completely to zero. Ok, so turn it up now. LoL No channel guide, so flip through at least a half dozen casino channels before you can find a real tv station. Oh and the sleep timer button doesn't work. We stayed in cheaper places with much better TVs than this. Geez!
We didn't get much info when checking in, which is bad service. The clerk scribbled "north" next to my room number which I didn't notice until after proceeding to the South Elevator. Then we had to search for the North ones, which are harder to find (especially on the casino level). We could see a pool from our room but never saw a soul, so we assumed it was closed?? We also would have liked to know that we could get restaurant discounts with the Total Rewards card. Usually those cards are hotel specific for points, and not worth signing up for since I'm not a frequent visitor. But we could have saved money dining there for 3 days. Didn't realize that until the end of day 2, kind of too late.
The self park was hard to find and a loooooong walk through the Mile Shops. We were glad to be staying near a mall though. We didn't have to drive anywhere if we needed something, Walgreens came in very handy.
All in all, we don't regret staying here. The view was worth it and was #1 on our list of priorities. But we think we could have had an overall better experience across the street at the Cosmo.
