| - Checked out of SLS a bit earlier this morning and I'm by no means happy.............to be leaving, that is....
The bed, .........Jesus, the BED!!!! I swear if sleeping on a cloud or mattress of cotton balls was ever a such thing, this would be its equivalent.
From valet parking down to the saunter in, this hotel oozes swag. Well, perhaps ooze isn't all that lovely an adjective,... however what this place does wreak of is DESIGNER IMPOSTER PERFUME! While its initially somewhat refreshing as it provides the hotel a bit of a unique appeal... it honestly began to get on my nerves as I saw a migraine approaching merely while checking in and I couldn't help but question if this is what Blanche would wear on 'The Golden Girls'. Now that I've mentioned it SLS....feel free to thank me for being a friend---
Add to that ^^^ the stench from lingering cigarette smoke brought to you courtesy of the adjacent casino and I'm led to question whether or not Victoria's Secret is actually "Nicotine".
Stefany, a fellow Yelp friend of mine and previous reviewer of this hotel probably stated it best, ...the entire hotel embodies that of Los Angeles. I was just made aware however, that it originated in West Hollywood. This Las Vegas location is kind of "a test" on a new demographic. Bearing the LA theme in mind, I can honestly envision douchebags and wannabe hot chicks flocking to this place in droves all flashing their abnormally white teeth, oversized implants, collagen lips and nectarine tans.
From the establishment's lounges to the slot machines, thereon to the swanky restaurants alongside the hotel's very rooms themselves....sexy is clearly the goal here HOWEVER the question becomes more questionable of just whether or not the message attempted to be conveyed was actually achieved.
Leading us to the topic of the rooms themselves...
Those of us traveling from LA are no strangers to subpar square footages. We'll make a micro-loft out of a sardine can and a cracker box...., and that into consideration, I'm led to speak up on this place maximizing EVERY square foot down to the mirrored ceilings, lol.
From walk in,... the bed, positioned in the room's center shares floor space with a small sofa at its foot. This is met by a fully stocked bar that the hotel makes no hesitation in notifying guest(s).....breathing on the merchandise will result in imminent death---
Note: There is no stocking of your own merchandise within the hotel's fridge' AND opening the door for a period in excess of 30 seconds will result in guest(s) being charged $30 minimum.
Wow. Just wow.
Without a doubt do I love the aesthetics of the place as a whole. Once again, from the mirrored ceilings to the mounted flatscreen, this place is SEXXXY without remorse. DID I MENTION THAT THE BED ILLUMINATES?! Yes. The backlight possesses a dimmer that takes the aura to a whole' nubba' lebba'!!! Then there are the upgraded fixtures and the rain shower nozzle. Yazz yazzz!
I can't for the life of me determine the overall theme, but apparently they're going for "Grown and Sexy" with a touch of goth, hipster, chic and a vague hint of divey sprinkled on top.
Disclaimer and definite CON: SLS is far as hell from the rest of the Strip (think Circus Circus and Stratosphere) ....but away from a boatload of traffic and pedestrian congestion as well. That can serve as a definite pro and con all in one.
1/2 a point deduction however for the room's needing better window sound treatments. I'm uncertain of whether or not the windows are dual-paned however we were soon made aware upon checking in, that this was Rock In' Rio weekend, ....NOT BY THE STAFF, but by the sound of bass vibrating upon the windows..................and this was from the 14th floor!!!! Dammit Taylor Swift! I also didn't notice any coffee makers. Boo for that!
The additional 1/2 point deduction is from the genius concierge that "transferred me to valét" when I attempted to request my car be pulled around ONLY TO FIND that valét didn't even have a frikkin' extension. She needs to be smacked!
This could also use some work guys. The only way to request your transpo-, is to physically come down to the first floor and present your ticket stub.
Super..... -__-
Would I knock this place off my list? Without a doubt, HECK NO. I'm actually looking forward to my/our next stay here and thanks to promotional marketing at one of the ground level kiosks offering one free night's stay to those taking time out enough to register......I'll be returning SOONER rather than LATER!!!
Hah-lurrrr---
