Us: a mid/late twenties couples that booked a 4-star through priceline NYOP and got a two night stay at the Trump for $80 with taxes.
At first, we were upset because the hotel is slightly north of all the action, and a block west of las vegas boulevard. But then, we realized all the extras that we'd get:
- a very quiet environment without a casino
- great service
- a jaccuzi in every room (easily fits two)
- a KITCHEN
- lots of bling, of course.
We used the classic $20 sandwich trick (a $20 folded between driver license and credit card) and were upgraded from a city-view studio to a strip-view high-floor large studio. We also requested a late checkout, and were granted our request without a charge.
The room was extremely spacious, and it was heavenly to relax in the bed for a couple of mornings. The kitchen was useful, and the cleaning of the dishes was done by the maids every day. There were plenty of complimentary water bottles and coffee provided to us every day. The bathroom was the best hotel bathroom I've ever seen (better than westin and hilton's), as evidenced by the many pictures all of the others have posted.
The walk to the strip wasn't bad at all. Come on, let's not be this lazy.
Also, be sure to expect:
- the $15+tax daily resort fee
- the $12 extra daily fee access to the sauna at the spa
- the mandatory valet parking (no self-park)
- noise from the train throughout the night (on the strip-view side, it's not loud enough to wake you up).
I wouldn't hesitate staying there again at all, especially for the price.
Don't forget about the sandwich trick!!!! $20 seems to go a long way at the Trump.
