I didn't take it since we never actually made it to the strip. It's a nice hotel overall. The decor is nice, everything looks relatively new and clean. The rooms are good, especially if you're in the suites. Those are really nice. HOWEVER, I have to say that the beds are terribly uncomfortable. They're hard and so are the pillows. I had shoulder and neck problems from them. Also, check your pillows for possible bed bugs, as I met a woman in line for breakfast with bites all over her face from an unknown source - the last time I saw something like that it was bedbugs at a hostel.
The cafe downstairs is nothing major. Decent food at any hour. Nothing special to speak of. During the 12:30am hour service was slow and kind of unfriendly. During the 10am hour it was speedy and friendly. We did the buffet on the last day there... $15 per person but terrible food. The only fresh fruit on the salad bar was watermelon- all the rest was canned in sweet juice. Blech! The desserts looked better than they tasted, though the chocolate chip cookie was good. The majority of the food wasn't anything better than what was served in the cafe restaurant, it was the same actually. Same mediocre quality. The cheese crepes were terrible and made with cottage cheese rather than ricotta like they're supposed to, and who puts strawberry jam in a fruit crepe? Not good quality.
The staff was always friendly throughout the rest of our interactions. It's a decent place if you're not looking for a great party experience in Vegas. Also, it seemed this was best suited for the over 35 crowd (sorry, but I'm young and like a different experience!).
