| - So I came back here six or so months after my last visit to what was then LVH. I wasn't impressed then, but I got an offer that was too good to refuse (two nights for $19/night plus resort fees). Upon returning...well, not much has changed besides the name.
Rooms: The rooms are an OK size with some nice views. I was in 2442 in the central tower, and I could see SLS to one side and Wynn/Encore on the other. The bed is comfortable; the bathrooms, though? Not so much. It took a good 5-7 minutes for my shower to heat up last night, and the water pressure wasn't good. Additionally, there were some unexplainable black blotches on the tub (almost ink-like).
As far as amenities are concerned, you supposedly get free wi-fi with your resort fee. I say supposedly because I would not know for sure. I own a MacBook Pro laptop and an iPhone, and neither device was able to connect to the wi-fi in the hotel (seriously, folks, move into the 21st century). Meanwhile, the casino floor is usually dead, the buffet (per my father, who I met in Vegas) isn't great, and the monorail really IS your best friend if you stay here.
I can't in good conscience give this place one star. The staff is friendly, the rooms aren't awful, and I certainly don't feel ripped off given the deal I got. However, would I recommend it to others, especially at full-price? Absolutely not. There are better, probably cheaper options in better locations, and unless the new folks in charge change things and change them quickly, I'm not entirely sure Westgate will be in business much longer.
