| - My friends and I loved every bit of our stay at the Westin! It was just what we were looking for - slightly off the strip, quiet, clean, and smoke-free. In other words, it isn't your typical loud, crazy, happenin' Vegas hotel with a loud lobby and a gazillion guests. So if that's what you're looking for, it's probably best to go elsewhere.
We booked the Westin for $105/night through Priceline during July 4th Weekend - this was such a steal compared to the other hotels on the strip.
So why did we love the Westin?
1. No problems with Early Check-in. They were quick and accommodating. We got there 2 hours before check-in time and our rooms were already good to go.
2. Smoke-free lobby and casino area. There is a large, but relatively empty casino area... but since all of us are non-smokers we really appreciated the fresh, clean air.
3. Starbucks in the lobby. Gotta get a cup of our daily joe before we head out for endless fun!
4. The Beds. I slept like a baby on the plush, luxurious, pillow-soft beds. No complaints. At all.
5. The Shower. The water pressure was AMAZING!!! It has TWO showerheads so the water is blasting and heats up easily.
The only negative I can think of is that we wanted to lay out by the pool, but realized that the Westin pool is pretty small. It's not like anything you'd find at Mandalay Bay or Bellagio. However, after some quick research I discovered that the gazillion pools at Caesar's Palace are open to the general public FREE of charge. Good thing Caesar's is so close to the Westin.
The Westin is only a 10 minute walk to the strip, which isn't bad at all. You can see Caesar's Palace from the hotel room, and the Westin is located on the cross street between Flamingo, Caesar's, and Paris Hotel... so it's actually a pretty prime location!
I'd be more than happy to stay here again.
