Drink all day, play all night, let's get it bumpin'! We're in Las Vegas, Trick!
I picked this place for my first overnight business trip for my new job. I was with another co-worker, so I wanted to book something a little more conserved than something on the strip. With some thrifty shopping skillz, I was able to book this place for 65/night (without tax). Here's what I think about this place.
PROS:
1. BRAND NEW - Nicely remodeled lobby, new exercise room, a couple nice dining options on site. Very slick décor.
2. NO SMOKING/GAMBLING - It's a nice break to walk into a hotel in Las Vegas without the smell of smoke or the loud bells and flashing lights of a slot machine.
3. FREE PARKING - Well, I guess everywhere in Vegas has this.
4. BIG ASS TV - I think the TV in my room must have been at least 50". They also had HBO too.
5. Club Lounge - There's a lounge upstairs on the 15th floor that's open for most of the day for Gold Members. They serve a pretty decent breakfast in the morning (Bagels, Lox, Bacon, Eggs, Legit Pastries, Fresh Fruits & Berries)
6. Friendly Staff - Adam checked me in, gave me pointers on where to eat, etc. He called me Mr. Shieh. Fast forward 6 hours later, he saw me stumbling in from the garage. He said have a good night, Mr. Shieh without looking at the computers or notes. Either he has a crush on me or the service is really good. I sure hope it's because the service is really that good.
CONS:
1. OLD - Despite the nicely remodel of the inside, the outside desperately needs a face lift.
2. LOCATION - It's behind the Wynn and a bit off the strip. The surrounding neighborhood is also a little questionable.
3. SOUND - The walls are a little thin. I heard a faint phone conversation from my next door neighbor. Not a big deal.
4. NOT A PARTY SCENE - If you're looking for a quiet place to sleep, this is the place to be. If you want to see sloppy, slutty girls prancing around in hoochy dresses... you need to keep looking.
Overall I had a very pleasant stay. Got a good night's rest and for 65/bucks this place is definitely hard to beat. I would probably stay here again.
A little about my credentials:
I just an average joe, that travels a lot for business and pleasure. I'm an Elite Premier member for United, Gold Member for Marriott, and Gold Member for Hilton Honors Reward. I usually book hotels in the range of 130-160/night depending on location, amenities, and the year the hotel was built/renovated. I'm a pretty reasonably easy person to cater and I don't have very high expectations out of anyone.
