Not a new hotel. Under new management persea use to be the Belmont. Everything from front entry to rooms has been refurbished. New carpet, furnishing designes! All of it. Off the strip but walking distance to the Hard Rock Casino, PF Changs, Morton Steak House etc. And a short $8 taxi ride to the strip. Advice u have them drop u off at Bally's right up the street. Its only 1.2 miles.. But this is the desert so.. Sunscreen in January is not unheard of! Enjoy
