Had a wonderful experience despite being apprehensive after reading so many poor reviews. Here is my response to some of the common complaints:
1. Check in. Yes there was a line, it moved quickly , room was ready and charges were explained up front and check out was quick and accurate as well
2. West Wing. Yes it not luxury , but it suited our needs just fine, exits right onto the strip, comfy bed, room service was amazing. Agreed that the bathroom set up is awkward and I would not recommend it if it's your first trip together as a couple or you are shy about your bowel habits (lol) but we will be back next year. We did not once smell cigarette smoke or the elevators which we were right beside
3. Size of hotel. Compared to our casinos in Connecticut, all the casinos here were small , so no... Did not feel that the walk to anything was an inconvenience
4. Dinning: we only ate at The Avenue... Breakfast was amazing . Pricey... But it's vegas and I was on vacation.... So not an issue for me. Otherwise there are several places we grabbed coffee and snacks( the crepes... To die for ) but if we wanted, there were plenty if choices and price ranges to choose from
5. WiFi. Perfect connection the entire stay
6. Stolen items. There is a safe in the room. The hotel has them for a reason and you should always use them. Period.
All in all, we were very pleasantly surprised and are hoping to make it back out within the next year!
