Make sure you get an updated room. Our room wasn't perfect but we spent so little time there it didn't matter. We stayed on the 19th floor and rode the elevator closest to the main lobby. It's not as bad as people make it out to be. The main thing they lack is keeping the elevators inside the hotel and in the parking garage clean. The pools aren't spectacular, but they made sure the water was cold especially for the days being so hot in the summer. My husband won some $$$ and he only played the blackjack table for 15-20 minutes. The adventuredome was perfect for the kids and so close to our room. The kids, aged 6 & 8 loved it! It's best to buy an unlimited ride bracelet. We were able to spend most of the day there and leave and then come back and spend another hour before it shut down for the night. We spent Thursday in there and the lines were short! We are at Vince Niel's restaurant for breakfast and were pleasantly surprised by how tasty it was. We'd eat there again. Service was quick and we were able to use a few coupons.
This hotel is great for a short stay with kids, esp for the price. We plan on bringing the kids back to Vegas, but we want to visit more hotels, so we may not make it back. Don't expect all the glamour here, but also don't be so pretentious about it either and you'll enjoy your stay.
