| - This place is AWESOME! Especially because they let us check in at 9AM!!! Check in wasn't supposed to be until around 3 or 4pm, but when we arrived to just drop off our bags, they were able to get us into a room, right then and there!
We had five guys, in a one room condo, and it was more than adequate. If you're looking for top quality, high snobiety pish posh, this isn't the place for you. If you ARE looking for a super nice, comfortable place that makes you feel like you're at home away from home, then you've found it.
All of the accommodations you could want: Two pools, a few jacuzzis, a restaurant, a store, and a bar all within the confines of the hotel. The entire staff is super friendly. Everyone from the cooks, to the barmen, to the security guards, to the staff at the front desk were really awesome.
The towers are only accessible by card key, they have patrolling security guards that make rounds around the grounds. We met one, I can't for the life of me remember his name, but he was a REALLY great guy, helpful as hell too. He hooked us up with a guy at the front desk who was able to get a bad ass ride to the Palms for dinner, and was going to get us other accommodations at clubs and bars, but we didn't have the time to do all that stuff too.
It is about a mile, plus or minus, off the strip, but it isn't a bad walk, even when you're sober! Aside from walking, they have shuttles that take you to and from Harrah's that stop running around 10pm, but they keep bringing you back, even the Rio shuttle, til about 12 or 12:30am.
All around, it was comfortable, accommodating, and a good place to have fun. I definitely would stay here again.
