This is a great hotel for the price - you can get so cheap deals and good rates online, and for some of the nicest rooms I hear in Vegas. Only drawback is that it's not on main strip, so if you're ok with that, here is what you need to know, and I am going into explicit detail here because there website doesn't really explain the set up very well:
I stayed in a room in the "ivory tower" I didn't hear any noise from the pool party so I think it's a good idea to ask to be placed there if possible to avoid noise/vibration from the parties. Room was great, comfortable bed, very large bathroom, huge wall hung flat screen TV and WIFI. Clean, modern and very hip.
There is a $10 breakfast buffet every morning. Its pretty great-unless you care about eating healthy in which case you'll have to make due with an omelet, cereal and melon. If you want to fill up for the day though it's a pretty fabulous deal with bacon, sausages, eggs, omelets, every variety of hash browns imaginable, Asian foods, and much more. On Sundays for $19 there is a champagne brunch which includes a huge and endless assortment of food from Mexican make your own tacos, to stir fries to a carving station along side the basic breakfast buffet options.
There is a food court. It has a McDonald's, a Chinese place, a pizza place, a Nathan's hot dog place (best chicken strips and chips ever), a Mexican place, a coffee shop, a sandwich shop, a yogurt shop and a movie theater.
Near the hotel lobby area is a gelato/coffee shop and a convenience store selling expensive water and KY jelly. You WILL end up shopping there and spending $18 on a bottle of sunscreen. Be prepared.
There are two pools. One pool is the main "see and be seen" pool party pool, and one on the other side of the resort. This pool is small but nice and quiet in a very relaxed setting. If you want to avoid the crowds and noise of the main pool it's worth checking out the smaller one across the way. Pack a little bag w/ sun block and water and head over! It will be an adventure. You have to walk through the casino and the food court and over on those people movers like in the airport to get to it. Then you take the elevator at the end of the people mover up to the 6th floor. It's a bit of a trek but once you do it and know where you're going it won't seem as bad. There you will find the quiet pool and the spa and a nice little restaurant. This pool has a bar and a serves food from the restaurant. I didn't get to eat there but the menu options looked a bit more interesting, reasonably priced and healthier than some of the other spots in the main hotel area. Pick up a towel and snag a lounge chair in the sunshine. If it's overcast go for a soak in the hot tub or...For a $15 day pass go to the spa next door. If you go, here is what you need to know, because this is going to be the best $15 you have very spent. You will get:
A cozy snuggly bathrobe, slippers and a locker.
Then you will get access to their dry sauna, steam room, a huge soaking hot tub, and a cold soaking tub as well as the hammam.
The hamman I was told is not as hot as the smaller steam room so bring your towel and hang out for a while. It's a huge tiled circular room with built-in benches all around. In the middle is a very large sort of table/bench you can beach yourself on. When I went it was completely empty so I had whole table to myself. If you get too hot, in the corner is a little cove with a cold water shower.
I was told to start off with the dry sauna then go to the hot tub, then the hammam then the super hot steam room and finish with the cold soak. I felt fabulous. There are plenty of lounge chairs all around the hot tub so come when you can spend some time just relaxing. There is also a separate lounge room with magazines, water and juices as well as fruit and trail mix too keep your energy up. (This is all FREE as part of your entrance fee!)
Next to the steam room and hot tub is a cucumber water dispenser (heavenly) and a bucket of ice w/ rolled up face cloths for you to keep cool with. There are also plenty of bottles of water available everywhere as well as extra towels. The showers are fantastic. Your little shower room comes with YOUR OWN high quality disposable razor, shaving cream, and luscious smelling shower gel and shampoo and conditioner. When it's time to get dressed you can do your hair and make-up with complementary hair products and a really good blow dryer.
They scrimp on nothing here and you get so much more than your money's worth.
If you live in Vegas, this is a great way to pamper yourself and have a spa day on the cheap(if you're not staying at he hotel I believe the day pass is $30-still worth it.) and if you're just visiting I suggest going like I did on check out day -especially if you have a late flight, just check out but you can still take advantage of the pool and spa and still have a place to get to get showered and changed.
