They did an amazing upgrade of the hotel rooms and it gives you that feeling of luxury without the hefty price...(while they DID raise their rates, its not NEARLY as bad as the strip). So when you open the door to your room, you will smile because the room is spacious....especially the bathroom. The bars there were fun as well. This isnt my first rodeo here so i know what to expect. TGI Fridays is gone but replaced with their own little sports bar which seems to be reasonably priced (as seen on the menu). A new Oyster bar was added if you're into that sort of thing.
Its a comfortable hotel, and its nice and quiet away from the chaos of the strip, but they have a shuttle that goes there if you MUST attend the Strips daily activities.
