| - This hotel is enchanting. I have visited the Beverly Hills Location to eat at the Bazaar but could never afford to stay there so I was so excited to learn of the SLS Las Vegas having affordable pricing. I have wanted to stay here for a while and was able to book a birthday stay. I had great communication from Crystal and Emelda and a few other staff members prior to my stay so I was already anticipating a lovely adventure. From the moment you arrive you are greeted with genuine warmth and friendliness. As you step into the hotel it's a feast for the senses. As you walk in you see a giant Marilyn Monroe blowing a pink chewing gum bubble and everywhere you turn there is something fun to discover. Christopher checked us in and was amazing. He was friendly and informative and had a wonderful room planned for us. I highly recommend the LUX Tower High Floor Corner Room. We splurged a little but it was so worth it and still extremely reasonable for a weekend. The room is enchanting, bubbly, warm, and playful. There are so many little details to make guests feel special. Perfect for a romantic stay. The rooms are filled with these fun curtains on the wall and there is a chaise lounge that covers the entire wall. There are fun antique looking wine glasses, chandeliers and a fun table with eclectic chairs. There is a mirror on the ceiling and a peek a boo shower that you can draw the curtain to see into the glass or leave the curtain down. The shower is huge and absolute luxury with the rain forest shower head as well as a regular shower head. I am a bath person but this shower didn't disappoint. The ironing board has a monkey on it and there are robes and slippers. The toiletries are from the Ceil spa and fabulous. The towels are lush and soft and there are plenty of them. This room includes turn down service as well. The bathroom has a fun sink and huge light up mirror. We were on the 21st floor which was great. I highly recommend booking a high floor room. When I booked it was only $4 more for the high floor. We were facing the stratosphere which was cool, plus we had a great view of the mountains. We had the best view possible as the hotel does not face the strip so we were happy. The corner room has a little more room and more windows, plus its nice because its on the end. Oh and did I mention the bed? Most comfortable bed ever with memory foam pillows and luxurious bedding. It's such a great room to spend time in you never want to leave. Jonathan from the bell desk brought our luggage up and was just charming. He spent tons of time with us and showed us how the menus for the restaurants are on the television. He offered to get us some ice and was upbeat and genuine throughout our interaction. The whole hotel is fun to be in. Here are the places we visited and loved:
1. Center bar-Has a cool 3-d image coming from the ceiling and a fun lounge area in the casino. When we were there they had $5 summer drink specials with muddled blackberries that were amazing.
2. Cleo-I wrote a separate review for this one so I will just say that it is to die for. Best food I have had in a while if ever. Its Mediterranean Tapas.
3. 800 degrees-Fantastic build your own pizza with the freshest finest ingredients and very cheap. Our pizza was $13 and was easily enough for two people.
4. Lux pool-Nice family atmosphere and quieter than the Foxtail party pool which is cool too.
5. The photography museum is fun.
6. The monkey bar-great drinks, great live entertainment, great outside patio, great atmosphere with the pictures of monkeys everywhere. It's nice to have a lobby bar like hotels used to.
7. Perc-Coffee shop with amazing coffee and pastries.
8. Room service-Fantastic.
9. Casino-Its quaint but perfectly large enough and has a good vibe. They have a lot of newer machines too.
If you join the code which is their players club you get $30 towards food the month of your birthday and you can get rooms up to 40% off. I also got a package that included a $125 drink credit and the code is good for any of the SLS hotel locations.
They also give you a cool book at check in with tons of buy one get one free food and drink items and free admission to various locations in the hotel.
All and all this hotel is a must try. I don't know about the smaller less expensive rooms in the world and story tower so I can't comment on those but the Lux tower is fabulous. There is security at the elevators and you need your key to press your floor which is nice. All of the staff we encountered in every department from the valet to bell service to check in to restaurants, pool, and anywhere in between were just lovely. I also love how they kept the integrity of the Sahara by keeping the pictures of Frank Sinatra and the Rat pack when they stayed there. The hotel has so much history and its special to be in its presence My grandparents said they used to stay there for $12 a night so its fun to stay in a remodeled hotel that still has history.
