| - Stayed at the Las Vegas this past weekend and I have to say it was pretty average. It's definitely not shiny and new like the Aria, elegant like the Wynn or hip like every hotel on the strip but there are a few pros to the LVH and some cons too.
For this trip I decided I was tired of wasting my money on a baller hotel room that I barely used and decided to book cheap here as I've stayed here when I was 21 and broke. The hotel has significantly changed since then. When I booked the room, they had a wide variety of rooms to reserve and their respective price points which gave you an idea that you get what you pay for. So I went very cheap, booked their lowest priced room, no view, no freebies, nothing.
The front desk experience well, they just want you in and out before the line grows and I can't blame them, that line does get long. I'll skip the details of what went on. Checked into the room and it was pretty standard for any Hilton. The room itself was very inconsistent. It had a flat screen TV, a newer credenza but the rest of the furniture in the room didn't match, like the nightstands were from 10-years ago, the lamps were from 5-years ago, the carpet must've been changed in 2-3 years, etc. However, the bathroom, man...talk about blast from the past! It had the Hollywood style lights, you know, the two strips of white bulbs. A pink countertop and a huge soaking tub/shower which was that faux marble looking crap that had to be from the 70's. It felt like I was in that movie, "Hot Tub Time Machine." Just because it looked old, I questioned it's cleanliness but that's just me. Overall though, the room was great and the bed was super comfy, as if I've never slept any better in my life!
Oh yeah, the room safe didn't work but got charged $3.00/day for it anyways. What a rip off. I didn't notice it until I got the e-mailed folio but, it's not worth fighting over.
The pool area is disappointing. They had no umbrellas or trees, not to mention the pool was quite small.
The rest of the hotel/casino was okay, it's mostly a chill, older crowd, but an oasis if you want to get away from the bustling strip. Speaking of which, it's a little bit of a ways from the strip so you'll need a car or, just jump on the Monorail or the Deuce to find your way there.
If you do self-parking, it can be pretty hard to find a spot, especially during the evenings but, why bother with the hassle when there's free valet parking? And PLEASE, tip the valets, they haul ass running through that 100f+ parking lot to get your car.
Overall, had a nice stay at the LVH. I'd stay again but I'd choose a "Deluxe" or "Superior" room the next time around.
