| - What an absolute pleasant surprise to have stayed here.
I didn't know we would be visiting until the day before I left, but was able to find a good deal online. Way below anything I could find on the Strip. Very happy I found a place that I feel comfortable enough to return to.
Vegas has so many hotels with such a vast difference of reviews and prices and it's hard to find something that matches my needs on a consistent basis. I may have found that with the Westin.
First, not your typical Vegas hotel on the Strip. It is far enough to be away from all of the crap of the Strip, yet walking distance if so inclined. It is on Flamingo, nearly right across the street of Bally's. Easy walk to the crosswalk, to Bally's and then all that the Strip has to offer. From the hotel, looking west is Caesars. We like to walk and went, going north, to Venetian and going south all the way to Monte Carlo. Very close to Miracle Mile Shops.
Now, the hotel. Very easy check-in and very polite. Easy hotel to navigate. Very small casino, which happily eliminates the smoke-filled casino. I would have liked more gaming, but I guess you can't have both. There could be more eating establishments; slim pickings. Starbucks is very convenient. Another awesome feature: easy parking access, and FREE! Also, a lower resort fee than anything on the Strip. Another huge plus. And one other negative: my wife was very dissatisfied with the lack of a great gift shop.
Room and bathroom were great. Excellent sleep, nice firm mattress.
Check-out was easy and very polite and helpful.
Will definitely return.
