| - Attended the grand opening. Many of the restaurants were not open yet this morning, however Umami Burger was open and was a great addition to all the burger options we have here in Las Vegas.
The casino was packed, everyone testing their luck, my wife included. We signed up for "the code", SLS's players card club. My wife said she got $5 in free play, used it and turned it into $20. Yes! Free burger at Umami!
The layout is wide open, walkways along the borders of the casino and a pathway through the middle of the casino. When you enter through the front entrance you have this cool cosmopolitan type vibe about the place with mirrors on the ceiling, and walls, and a floor that lights up. However if you go further in, the ceiling is open and you see all the pipes, and building frame. I'm not sure if this is the plan, or they just decided to open their casino ahead of finishing the ceiling. It doesn't really look nice to look up though. It does not match the 'sexy' 'cool' outer appearance the casino gives outside especially at night. I also noticed the floor immediately outside the casino, and the carpet were pretty dirty. This will be tidied up eventually, I'm sure.
All-in-all, the hotel was probably rushed to open before the holiday weekend next week, but it has plenty of potential with a plethora of restaurants, multiiple nightclubs, and ample space in the casino floor w/ a variety of options for gambling. Good luck, SLS!
