| - We stayed her for our little Staycation night. We got there about 4:30-5pm, enough time to check in, relax for just a bit and then off to dinner before our show. We parked in the back lot, stupid because didn't know better, and since it was just a night we were only lugging around two overnight bags but the walk, otherwise fine, with bags it's not. We couldn't figure out that maize of construction to park in the garage we circled it twice before giving up and listen neither of us lack common sense. Anyway, so on the front desk, gosh! I haven't stayed on the strip since before I moved here and really the check in line at that time! I thought by then it would have been shorter nope! We didn't have time for that s#&^! So back to the car with the bags. **enter long story of our fun night** *Back at the hotel, I wanted to be able to come back to the hotel to crash out from a drunken state and not have to worry about 'business' So I bucked up and tried to act normal. Since we couldn't wait prior, were checking in at about 2am or something late. "We upgraded you to the newly renovated tower" Oh sweet! No! It was right next to the elevators. They didn't have anything else available because we were the late checking in. So we had not choice to deal with it. It ended up not being that bad but remember the drunk part....
The room itself was nice, it was clean and upgraded and we had a great view of the Linq and surrounding sights. There was a little grim in the sink that you could only see while sitting on the toilet. The bed wasn't super soft and comfy like I prefer a hotel bed to be, it was on the stiff/hard side but not unbearable.
The thing that got me was that when I booked my room I got a $25 food and beverage credit. After we check in we went to the Mexican restaurant that they have there, Tequila Bar & Grill. I charged it to the room per the manager of the restaurant. We dropped our keys in the express check out. And the next thing I know my card is charged for the food! Grr! The line in the morning were check out and check in and slow just like the night before! So now I have to go out of my way to make the phone which is painfully impossible to get a manager on the phone. Which at this current time I've actually given up on. I need to call again, but I hate tracking someone down. Anyway, the point is when I asked to speak to a manager and the phone rings and rings and they don't even have a voicemail! Is there someone even on the other end? Did you just transfer me to a phony phone number? Lame!
When we returned to the hotel at night we valet not wanting to walk the walk with the bags again. In the morning, it took 15 minutes for them to get my car. There were people getting their cars that came up after us, we were about to ask about it but then we see my car. The attendant was nice and apologized for the wait that they had the wrong description/wrong space of my car and he couldn't find it. Awesome!
Can't comment on the casino or much else as that is all we did in the hotel that evening.
