| - Artsy and hip hotel with good dining options and a blend of creative elegance. Great toiletries in each room. They are actually the brand of the onsite spa, Ciel Spa. They have NO parabens or other harmful chemicals, which is awesome. However, there is no specification as to whether or not the products are cruelty-free(not tested on animals before sold in the market). Aside from this, they are good quality and not fragrance-laden. However: For the health-conscious traveler who may want to bring your own fruit salad, yogurt, etc., Beware. The rooms do not have complimentary refrigerators as some of the Starwood Preferred Guests/Tribute Properties do. So, DO NOT remove any items from the bar fridge to store your own stuff. The items are sensored and are automatically charged to your bill if not replaced within 60 seconds. Read the fine print on item tags beforehand to avoid being charged for each item and an additional $30 fee for utilizing the bar cooler for storing personal food items. However, for $25.00 per night, the hotel will allow guests with perishable items to rent a small refrigerator. I spoke with the manager, Matt, over the phone on the same evening of my check-in and explained the error of my ways. He was understanding and opted to remove the charges as a one-time courtesy. With high expectations due to staying in other SPG hotels that have complimentary in-room refrigeration, SLS Las Vegas has caught me off guard in this aspect. Otherwise, it's an absolute lovely place to stay. Ciel Spa is simple, with no jacuzzi, but with a steam room and a custom of having massage deals during certain times of the year. Beware the onsite cab service. Walking and/or using UBER is probably more cost effective depending on your situation. Poolside bar menu is good and staff are helpful, vigilant, & polite.
