| - Stayed here a while back. Let me start by saying, I have stayed, at the Mandalay Bay, the Mansions at the MGM, so on and so on, I think you get the point. The hotel is located off the main area of most hotels in LV, it reminders me of what LV was back in the day.
We were invited to see BJ Thomas here by our sweet wonderful neighbors, so we thought, why not. I am just going to jump right in.... In no particular order here - BJ can sign like no other, even being I've never really heard his music, well that's not true, when he started signing I've heard some of those songs being that my mom would play his music loudly on the car radio, back in the day, but frankly, the room where the concerts was held in the hotel was fab!!! It was such a nice venue within the hotel, the size of the room made it so everyone had a great seat. '1' point so far!
Secondly, the lobby is neat and clean, check-in was a plus and the service was warm and friendly - so now there are '2' points).
While waiting for our friends, we decided to eat at the Mexican café or restaurant - it's has patio seating (there are different salsa's to choose from), O M G, best salsa ever!!! And the Margaretta was AMAZING! Who new! Would definitely go there again, hands down. So there you have it, we are already up to '3' points (on the scale of 1 to 5, 5 being best).
Off to our room....... Now here is the real test. But let's be honestly, when most are in LV, it's for the shows, gambling, food and pools. Yes, we want a clean room, but very little time is spent there - well for most anyway (insert wink). Open the door to our room, and what a surprise. Clean (bathroom was clean), neat (everything had its place), nothing overly fancy, yet the rooms were updated, and the bed was actually comfortable...and that was good for us. Honestly, I was actually surprised. I didn't know what to think before goin. But all in all it was nice! The whole hotel is clean. So now we are up to '4' points.
We had dinner that night at "The Broiler" in the hotel. This place is a hidden gem, the food was Franfrickentastic! The Steaks was so good, that truly it was just as good if not better than any Ruth Chris, Morton's I've been too. I highly recommend, going out of your way, just to have dinner here, I was shocked I tell ya, my dinner was delicious!!! Kudo to whoever is the chef! Drum Roll - Dinner that evening, putting the hotel into the 5 star category.
And that my YELPER friends, is why I gave this hotel '5' stars. They earned it!
Thank you Boulder, we had a blast, and will be back!
