| - I have to say that if the only factor in my decision to stay someplace in Vegas was based on the hotel alone (excluding casino, nightlife, shopping, etc.) I would only stay at THE Hotel from this point forward. The moment you walk into the lobby you feel like you are somewhere peaceful and luxurious, rather than crowded, noisy, and hectic (a la Venetian or Mandalay Bay). The lighting is pleasant. The decor is sleek and modern. There's no overdone, cheesy Vegas theme going on.
So here are all the good things about THE Hotel:
-The room: We stayed in a V Suite, as opposed to a THE Suite. Not sure what the difference is but we had 2 bathrooms and a bedroom that was separate from the living room area and had a door that you could actually close. This came in handy when we peer pressured our friends to miss their flight and crash in our room. We had a great view of the strip and the pool. The bathroom was spacious and had good amenities like a professional quality hair dryer with a straightening attachment, flat screen TV, a scale (so you can see how fat you're getting), and unlimited supplies of q-tips and cotton balls (little things like that make a difference!). The robes are super plush and the slippers are so soft and cozy.
-The service: The concierge managed to get us on the guest list for Tryst on Halloween night. My husband stayed through the week for a conference and he should have downgraded to the room that his company booked for him, but they actually let him stay in our suite from the weekend without charging him an upgrade fee.
-The MIX Restaurant and lounge is another great reason to stay. And if you're coming during the summer Moorea Beach Club is also reason enough to choose THE Hotel.
Here are the reason why I might choose to go elsewhere next time: -Mandalay Bay. So many families and awful tourists there. And since THE Hotel doesn't have it's own casino, you have no choice but to be amongst them. Who brings their kids to Vegas!?!?
-Also, MIX is the only real restaurant here. It'd be nice if there was more than one restaurant of that caliber like at the Wynn or Palazzo. If you want any variety, you have to venture into Mandalay.
-Proximity to the Luxor (yuck!)
-ZERO SHOPS!!!!! How does a hotel of this quality not have any good shops?!?! There's a small shopping hall in Mandalay Plaza but all those stores are pretty low-rent. And you're so far from Caesar's or the Palazzo... You can pretty much rule out any shopping if you stay here. That's not as much of a problem for me during the summer because I'd rather be by the pool during the day, anyways. But what's a girl to do during the cold months??? INSANITY!
