The pickings are slim for lodging options in Vegas when you have a canine companion (non-service dog), hence the decision to stay at the Residence Inn. Location is ok (opposite the Strip on the other side of Hwy 15) and there isn't anywhere close to grab a bite but it is a clean, safe property and they happily took me and my boyfriend in w/our dog (plus a $100 fee). It lacks the Vegas glitz and gaudiness but all of that is just a short free shuttle ride over.
