| - If you're going to Vegas, and you don't like Vegas, this is the place to stay. When you step into the lobby, it doesn't feel like you're in Vegas anymore. Myself, I don't gamble, go out dancing, or go to shows. When I come to Vegas, it's to visit family or celebrate an anniversary, or just get outta town. So, when I come to Vegas, I stay in my room or off the strip 90% of the time. For this reason, THEhotel is THEbest hotel in Vegas.
The rooms are incredibly luxurious, with rich, dark colors. The standard two-room suite is HUGE at almost 750 sq. ft., and there's two 42" plasma tvs, as well as one little LCD tv in the bathroom. Nothing like watching The Real World (since MTV is the only decent channel that THEhotel broadcasts-- CSPAN? ugh.) while taking a bath in a big, luxurious tub. The extra bathroom is a little redundant, but the mini bar is a great touch. We were actually able to mix drinks from our own room! Just grab a bucket of ice from the hallway and use the provided glasses (or wine glasses) for party-time.
If you stay here, there's almost no reason to leave the room. But if you do, there's a great tram that will take you all the way to the Excalibur, saving your feet a little from the miles of walkin' you're about to do to get anywhere NEAR center-Strip. I prefer to move the car over to the Bellagio, explore from there, and usually drag my drunk ass back to the room by foot. When I check out and have all my bags in the morning, I usually realize as I hit the lobby that my car is a mile away. Shoot.
All location issues aside, THEhotel is the best hotel on the Strip. Although I wouldn't ever pay full-price, mid-week off-season specials like $169/night are hard to pass up! Keep an eye out for those. Once you stay here for under $200/night, you'll wonder why you ever stayed anywhere else.
