| - I was expecting a lot more from this hotel which is luxurious from the outdoors on the opposite end of the strip.
The W hotel has now taken over this hotel chain (Marriott/Ritz-Carlton/SPG - Starwood Preferred Guests).
We stayed on the Sophia Loren floor.
Bedroom: (World Tower) - 17th floor
*1st thing...do not even try to tip the desk/check-in staff. The $20 trick (found on YouTube) does not work.
You'll get what they give you.
Our 2 bed ($99/per night for 2 nights with a $100 drink credit) was an ok deal. I'd seen on other sites the $85/per night deal.
The beds were AWESOME! Soft, not too firm. The room was the same size as the rooms at The D hotel.
Amenities:
No microwave at any of the hotels
No mini fridge
No coffee maker (room service hot water $5)
Towel service:
You will be given ...
(1) face towel
(2) hand towels
(3) body towels
(1) floor towel
* you have to ask for a bath mat and extra towels
**if there are 2 separate people in the room, not a couple...you'll have to ask for extra shampoo, soap, and conditioner.
Because their is a casino attached you do receive 2 bottles of complimentary water in the room. You can ask anywhere in the hotel for free bottles of water.
The room comes equipped with in-room mini liquor cooler and Saint &Sinner snacks (very expensive). I advise EVERYONE just walk around the corner (cross the street) and a massive/very CLEAN Walgreens is right there. And a McDonalds...in the mini strip mall...REALLY it is only steps away, like walking to your mailbox.
Don't be a fool and take from the minibar!! You'll pay heavily. Walk around the corner.
*Complimentary Conference Shuttle (@this location)
Mirrors:
The room has these over sized mirrors. To turn on/off look for the button inbedded into the front of mirror).
Pool:
During our visit the pool was open 9am til 8pm.
No more pool parties!
Food service closes at 6:30pm
Drink service ends 6pm
It looks like the entire pool area is getting ready to undergo a major overhaul. The cabana seats and couches are worn and ripped. The bar seats are falling apart (gosh, I should have taken pictures to prove what I'm saying).
Limited shade places. Arrive early to get a spot. Otherwise be forewarned the sun will welcome you along with skin Cancer!!
Near the 4 oversized outdoor mirrors (in a far away corner) you will find hidden a narrow lap pool (for 1). I was told it's a hot tub but others tell me it was not warm and is only a lap pool. I can't see this as a lap pool..it's too tiny.
The pool is NOT heated. The pool goes to 4' deep only with shelf seating.
Concierge:
Their was always at least 1 Concierge on duty to help make arrangements for trips, plays, shows, restaurants, etc.
Monkey Bar -
The small bar in the hotel.
W hotel -
Attached ...but at the time a sign was up "Private Party only". I could only see a huge bar from where the sign and employee was staffed to keep folks at bay.
The Perq -
A small coffee shop that serves pastries, desserts, sandwiches and adult coffee drinks/smoothies.
Casino -
A nicely kept, clean gaming area. I was told doesn't really pay back very well.
Her boutique -
Friendly very helpful, outgoing and knowledgeable staff. They carry the most up to date fashions, hats, purses, etc. Good sales.
I saw several restaurants and the nightclub but since I was out at a conference during the day and with family at night I cannot review those places fairly except to say...this establishment is CLEAN!!
Do not bring food back which needs to be kept or heated. You'll be wasting your money. Use the ice buckets to chill your drinks.
Valet -
Confusing. Their are 2 sides to this hotel. To park your vehicle with Valet go to the back side on Paradise Road (or shoot straight through the "DO NOT ENTER"/"Diplomat Exotic Rentals" way from
S. Las Vegas Blvd...which will bring you to the valet.
Crazy I realize .... but that is the more direct route.
Drop-off/Pick-up:
S. Las Vegas Blvd.
(BONUS)
Staff is ALWAYS around for 24 hour help and security!
Hope all of this helps someone!!
The W is taking over.
