| - We stayed here because the convention in town (ICSC) that I was attending caused everything else to be booked - even the crummy regular Hilton next to the convention center. This propoerty was built around 2004 and is still in fairly good condition. It's really a timeshare property that they operate as a hotel for the unsold units. Frankly, if my room was representative of the whole property, or similar timeshares elsewhere, I can't imagine who would buy a unit...but I digress.
If you're staying here strictly as a one-time hotel guest here are the problems:
1) No onsite casino / restaurant / shows / shopping / etc. If you're in Vegas, you probably want to do at least one of these things, none of which is on-site or even next door. So you have to get in a cab, which brings me to my next point...
2) No cab line. Since this isn't a major resort, there are no cabs lined up to take people where they need to go. And, when there are people lined up waiting, and a cab trickles in every 5-10 minutes or so, it can get pretty frustrating.
3) Rooms were nice, but basic. A little kitchenette with a fridge and microwave were in mine, but no desk to set up a lap top.
One positiive thing: it was fairly inexpensive - $149/night.
Overall, I wouldn't recommend since it doesn't offer any of what people go to Vegas for. And, it's not even easy to catch a cab from here to get to the places you do want to go.
