I've become one of those Yelpers that would review places she's stayed for business. Came here before when it was Westgate for a weekend Vegas trip and now since it's a Hilton property, it's my go to place for lodging when I'm in town for work and when the Four Seasons too expensive that week. For less than $100 per night, I get a studio room with a kitchenette (perfect for dinner leftovers transformed into easy breakfast). On a good week, my studio can be upgraded to a one bedroom suite. (Score!)
Elara still has the same decor as its predecessor Planet Hollywood Westgate but has tighter security at the elevators--you must have a room key to be allowed through. I find their showerhead a little weak but am appeased with the TV in the bathroom--the only way I catch up on Charmed reruns.
Will be back here again in a week for my last business trip, so going to make the most of it then. Play nice with the front desk and they may return the favor with a slightly nice view of the strip.
