We strolled in on Sunday around 5:00pm and did wait in what I felt like was a shockingly long check-in line for the day/time. We spent about 15/20 minutes waiting to get into our room. We hit the lottery however and were given a 56th floor suite upgrade from the amazing lady at the front desk. If your not so lucky and want a great view south of The Strip (MGM Grand/Mandalay Bay) head to the 55th floor and they have some huge panoramic glass to get a breathtaking view. Here is a tip... the 56th floor just has a big wall so you won't be seeing anything.
The suites provide some small kitchens but needing ice will provide you quite the adventure! According to the lady at the front desk they only have ice machines on the 5th and 50th floor which seems a tad sparse considering the large hotel.
The pH Westgate does lack a casino which keeps the late night volume down and the Miracle Mile Shops does have an ABC Store close to your hotel entrance to get cheap liquor, snacks, and even healthy things like fruit for your room.
You are connected through the Miracle Mile Shops to the pH casino and tons of great dining and budget dining in the immediate area (Earl of Sandwich - My Review: http://www.yelp.com/biz/earl-of-sandwich-las-vegas#hrid:K5mBPENNb-gjr9-lExmz6A). The Miracle Mile Shops has a new quick access walkway into CityCenter adding to the convenience of the area.
Our room had better television choices than almost any other Vegas hotel we have stayed in. So note to yourself if your not in Vegas for gambling and want something on TV (I recommend here possibly over some casinos).
The lightning in the hotel is spot on and our living room area has more than enough space to please you. We had a small dining room table that never got touched. A great comfy couch and nice chair to enjoy our amazing view. A bed high off the ground with some convenient reading lights and unique leather headboards.
The people talking about the "long walk" through Miracle Mile can get over it. The walk is not this bad to get out of the casino and it's a super convenient location all around compared to other hotels. if you don't like walking or are not interested in doing so then you should drink more or not come to Vegas. Walking around The Strip is more than half the fun of this place.
