| - I'm going with 4 stars based on the great service during the weekend I stayed. The SLS is the old Sarah that's been remodeled, & they did a decent job with it. The hotel/casino feels more like a place in downtown Los Angeles or Sunset. The valet was pretty fast the entire weekend, around a 5 minute wait time (the hotel wasn't that busy). My room was in the Story Tower, based on all the other reviews I'm sure all the rooms in the Story Tower are small/intimate, there's no ice machine in the Story Tower so you can call the front desk & they'll bring you some.
The rooms are pretty basic with a bed, couch, TV, & a hanger area for your clothes (not a closet), bathroom, & there's also a mini bar (not a fridge that you can use). I'd compare the SLS rooms to what'd you get at the Luxor, Excalibar, or Treasure Island a decent basic room so don't expect anything like they Wynn, or Cosmo.
There's only two other big casinos at this end of the strip (circus & the stratosphere) so there isn't much site seeing or walking around to do down on this side. Downtown Vegas is only about 3-5 miles north so you're pretty much in between the the center of the strip & downtown.
If you're planning a trip to Vegas & you're going on price, if the SLS is around the more affordable places on the strip it's worth it to stay here. If there's a price difference of $50 a night & you're deciding between here or dump like circus circus or the flamingo save yourself the headache & stay here.
