| - Of all our past trips to Vegas, this was the first time ever that we stayed off the Strip. In fact, the Trump is probably the "farthest" we will stay off the Strip since it's only less than a 10-min walk to the Strip.
The building was originally built as a residence but was converted to a hotel. We originally reserved a studio but thanks to my husband who decided to add in an extra treat for my birthday, he decided to upgrade our reservation to a 1-bedroom suite. There was a kitchen (fitted with a fridge, oven, microwave, electric stove, kettle, toaster, silverware, plates), and a large enough living room with an L-section couch and a 4-seater dining table. The master bedroom has an attached bathroom that is huge enough to fit 2 sinks, a dressing table, a jacuzzi, a shower stall, and a separate area for the toilet bowl. There was a second bathroom in the living room area. It's definitely big enough if our family joined us. The room amenities made our stay very convenient and we were able to eat something quick in the morning our suite before heading to the pool.
The decor is alright. I'm not sure if "dated" is the right word but it was of the classic type and definitely not contemporary like the Encore at the Wynn where we've stayed during our last two trips. The hallways at the Trump is beige and maybe a little dull... again, not sure if "dated" is the right word because the hotel clearly isn't old, but it's just a little too mundane.
This hotel is not really a resort-type of hotel so the pool area is just your rectangular shaped pool and guests surround the pool to tan. Again, if I were to compare the Trump with the Wynn and the Encore, the pool over there is almost like a sprawling area in itself. As for the pool area at the Trump, what you see in front of you is all there is to it. Pretty small area but it does its job if you're just there to lay by the pool but be sure to get there early as the chairs get taken up before lunch time.
There's no casino at the Trump and it's also non-smoking. Literally right across the street is Nordstrom which is part of the Fashion Show Mall. So you can either get to the Strip by walking through Fashion Show Mall if you want to escape the heat, or you can just walk outside along the sidewalk from the Trump to the Strip. For an off-the-strip hotel, the location is very convenient and easily accessible.
Overall, it's a very good choice of hotel but again, it lacks the hip and modern factor that Vegas is all about. Not a big deal but my heart still has a special place at the Encore at the Wynn :)
