I really enjoyed my stay at Renaissance. Since I've been going to Vegas often, my boyfriend & I have been trying to hotels with reasonable prices that are close to the strip when MGM isn't having a special. heheh. Anyway, we came across Renaissance. The thing that caught our eye was the great price of around $80 a night even on weekends & a $50 gift certificate to use at ENVY. I say thumbs up to a deal like that!
Renaissance is located right next to the Hilton Las Vegas/Convention Center & so it about a block or two away from the Wynn. The rooms here are a decent size, with enough lounging space for two people. The bathroom was also nice with a tub & a shower. The bed was comfy & the pillows were firm yet fluffy. I felt comfortable staying here and glad I did. We took taxis at night to Venetian...it cost about $10 one way. If you took a taxi to Wynn or Encore it'd probably be a few bucks cheaper. But it was definitely worth it saving the extra hundred bucks on a room & taking a taxi to the strip.
The hotel itself looks really new & modern. I didn't visit the pool area since it was Winter time but it looked nice from what I saw. They also a fitness center for guests to use which was pretty awesome. And we can't forget about the hidden gem here...ENVY steakhouse!!
You can't go wrong staying here. If you don't want to dish out the dough on the stirp, you can always cab it from Renaissance. Plus, you're like a 2 minute elevator ride away from the best steak of your life!
