Trump is now my new go-to place for Vegas accommodations for the following reasons:
1.) The entrance is literally directly across from Nordstrom at the Fashion Show mall. I spent more time shopping than at the gaming tables, somehow that feels wrong for a Vegas vacation.
2.) The doors to the rooms consist of a double entry system: The 1st door opens into a small foyer connecting to 2 individual suites. Keeps the noise out and my precious Panda from barking at every elevator ding and random passerbyer.
3.) Pet friendly! Although the rate is a bit steep ($200 per stay, max 2 dogs / 50lbs each) but since Panda is such a sweet tempered and tiny little thing, we negotiated the rate down to $100. Pet amenities included, such as doggie bowls, treats and bed.
4.) 4pm checkout affords an after-lunch nap while avoiding the LA-bound traffic jam at noon.
5.) The lobby is delightfully fragranced with some sort of heavenly scent, I'm guessing a jasmine / lychee blend. If only my house smelled like this.
6.) Non-gaming and most importantly...Smoke free! Now my coats can go back in my closet rather than straight to the drycleaner.
7.) The view from our room was fantastic. The elevator was lightning fast, and I kept getting small bouts of motion sickness after each ride but I suppose that's a small price to pay for having such a fabulous view of the city lights.
I love this place, I probably would not consider staying anywhere else from now on.
