Besides the Mandarin Oriental this is my favorite spot to stay in vegas. Its the perfect balance between the super fancy hotels (Wynn, Encore) and the smaller lets say not so fancy ones. It also is the perfect size big enough so it does not get super crowded in the casino but small enough that I can still find my way around without getting lost in a sea of slot machines. They have some decent dining options (I am sad that Dos Caminos is no longer there) and they have a great shopping area which connects directly with the Venetian shops. The rooms are exactly like the Venetian for the most part only updated and with a lot newer feel.
