| - I glanced at the negative reviews and I have to say that I didn't have any of these experiences.
Let me caveat by saying that a) I am a business traveler and b) I *HATE* Vegas. Sure, when I was a young cat I liked heading to Vegas to do the Vegas thing but I am not a young cat anymore. I hate lights and bells. I hate smoke. I hate gambling and people who gamble. I hate that there are no trees. I could go on but suffice to say, I hate Vegas. But, I end up having to come to Vegas for business fairly often and a have to have a place to stay. Since discovering the Westin Casuarina, the trips are now bearable.
The casino area is tiny (this is a good thing) with minimal noise and lights. The bar area is small and relatively tasteful (I don't partake but it's nice to not have to walk past a tacky, smoky bar area to get to my room). Coming off the elevator, the colors are neutral and muted--not Vegas-electric. And when you get to your room it is a Westin room (this is a VERY good thing). Great bed, great shower, great room. And, unlike most Vegas hotels, the room service food is actually decent quality.
The only thing that I would mark them down for is that at certain times of the year, the taxis kinda forget about this place. So this isn't really a knock against the hotel just a caveat about the overall stay experience.
