Have you ever had the desire to listen to a train blasting its horn at 2am, 4am and 5am? What about constant honking from the congested valet parking area? Or, have always wanted to turn on a TV and enjoy the crackle of completely blown speakers? What about...taking a mildly warm shower with only one of the shower heads pumping out warm water and the other producing cold? Then the Trump is the place for you!
We've stayed at numerous hotels in Las Vegas. We do not spend a ton of time in the room... it's Vegas of course and you are there to have fun. But, with that being said, your room should be a place you can retreat too when it's time to rest from all the fun.
We tried the Trump and after reading some reviews about the train I was a little concerned. In the end we booked with them and took a chance. I let the front desk know during checking it was our first time at the hotel and I was a little concerned about the train. The staff were very professional and courteous. The guy who checked us in mentioned we shouldn't hear anything as the building was designed very well and if so, let them know and they would accommodate us. We were up on the 34th floor.
Upon entering the room, it was clean but a little worn looking. I turned on the TV to rest from the days travel and the speakers were blown as mentioned. TV #2 in the bedroom worked and I just pressed on ... we were not going to watch a lot of TV while there but... the set needed to be fixed at some point.. if not for us.. some other guests.
Even up on the 34th floor you could hear a lot of honking going on below. The way the hotel is setup.. the valet area is very small and it gets congested quick. The staff work hard to keep it moving but they get overwhelmed. So, this causes frustrations for people trying to leave, trying to merge on the the street and for the traffic on the street. Poor setup and flow.
The hotel offers a shuttle service to the Bellagio and Caesar's. it's a cattle call and the typical wait time is about 30 min. It's just easier to catch a cab and move on. Again.. the staff/valet were nice/professional.
After a fun night out on the town... as I mentioned... the showers were luke warm at best and cold most of the time. Maybe we just got a room with issues? But, it just wasn't what we expected.
I knew after being able to hear the cars below.... if the train did blast its horn... we would hear it... again... even up on the 34th floor. Well... 2am rolls around... HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORN BLAAAAAAAAAST! I just had to laugh. This hotel is lauded for being so great when it was just average at best. The train sounded off again at 4 and 5. I can't even imagine what the people on the first few floors must have heard.
All in all... the Trump did not live up to what I have read in the glowing reviews on Yelp. The place looked worn, had noise problems and several other issues.
We will not be going back and we will not recommend others to stay there.
