| - Trump, the dump is a good nickname :)
The basic deal is that the Trump is a 5 star hotel. Now, 5 stars makes one think fancy. Though, to get stars a hotel only seems to have to offer certain services, like room services etc. It doesn't have to be fancy.
The Trump is pretty much a Holiday Inn, only the bed is firmer at the holiday Inn and the TV larger. The TV was the size of my laptop screen at the Trump. They have a stove and sink, which the Holiday Inn doesn't have.
The evil trick that got me here is Priceline. I bid on Priceline half of what all the other 5 star hotels (the real 5 star hotels) charge. Priceline put me in the Trump, which charges half of what the other 5 star hotels charge for a good reason.
The room is an orchestra. The steal ropes of the elevator sing as they catapult people up dozens of floors in seconds. The air conditioning hisses. The refrigerator rumbles. And, everything gets drowned out by the passing fright trains. They don't honk their horn. They lean on it like someone was on the track and the operator in mad panic tried to get the person to move out of the way.
A nice touch is that the Trump gives away wifi and two small water bottles for free. I know Holiday Inn gives you free wifi as well. Though, every other Vegas hotel will nickel and dime you for every little thing (more like $20 bills). The gym is free. Though, it's not great.
I'm not the right target demographic. If you are looking for a place to put grand pa, it's perfect. It's quiet (= no Vegas party, what everyone comes for). There are no casinos, clubs, or pool party. Behind the hotel are two strip clubs. We know grand pa likes those. By day, he votes to restrict women's rights and sexual freedom. At night, he sneaks out to get what he outlawed. Oh, Dick Cheney stayed here a few times. I told you grand pa likes it here.
Service, supposedly service is what makes the Trump outstanding. The receptionist walked me to my elevator. I guess that's what extra service looks like. I would have been fine walking by myself instead of having someone say empty platitudes next to me.
The dead bolt on the room was broken. When I called, they said that they would send security up. An hour later, house cleaning arrived with an clothes iron. I guess, the thought was to iron out the wrinkle in my stays. A while later, finally a handy man shows up.
He was a nice guy. He worked really hard. He had to disassemble the whole door. Some of the screws were stripped. Some where jammed in so hard that he couldn't get them loose.
He kept beeping. Yes, after having given staff Blackberries for a while, management realized that some people were making personal calls. So, they took them away and gave people pagers. Don't you just love it, when companies try to save pennies by taking away the tools that employees need to do great work?
I have stayed at the Wynn across the street. That's a great Vegas experience. I have stayed at the Rumor hotel. That's an off strip hotel for when you want to save money. It looks like it's a converted apartment building. Yet, it has hip stuff, like crazy furniture and sexy photography in the room, you know Vegas. And, my absolute favorite is Cosmopolitan. That is super awesome. When I stayed there, I barely left the hotel, because the room was awesome, there was party 24 hours, great club, great pool, great fitness center.
