THEhotel has luxurious suite style rooms. This was great for this trip as I was rooming with a guy friend and it helped to have a bedroom (with 2 queens) and a living room/office type area so that there was plenty of privacy for changing. In addition, they have one and a half baths so there is a small extra bathroom with a toilet and sink near the door. The rooms have a large flat screen TV in the main room, a small flat screen in the large bathroom, and a regular TV in the bedroom.
The rooms have a mini fridge and several snacks. Neither are weight sensored. There is also a large desk with a very comfortable leather chair. The alarm clock in the bedroom is an iPod dock as well. The bathroom is very nice with a stand up glass shower that has amazing water pressure and temperature control, and a huge, extremely deep bathtub with a waterfall-like faucet. The robes were some of the most comfortable I have tried.
We had a gorgeous view of the strip and The Luxor. I thought the light on The Luxor would bother me but the glass used for the ceiling-to-floor windows is tinted so you can't really tell there is a light at all.
CONS: I usually prefer when the mini bar is not weight sensored, however, they have a minibar attendant that come around in the evenings, which really irritated me because it always seemed to fall during my nap time.
If I was staying with a group of girls, I would have preferred to have one large open room rather than a bedroom and living area. The area seemed a bit too small for that and kind of just secluded you.
I'm not sure why the TV in the bedroom was just a regular large tube television. It should have been a flat panel like the rest. Also, the picture wasn't very good quality.
The biggest con is the $20 charge per day to use the fitness center AND an additional $10 to use the spa locker room. They won't even give you a tour unless you buy it. There is a deal for 3 days at the fitness center for $45.
There are no co-ed hottubs... A dealbreaker is I were going with my boyfriend... Well I guess there's always the huge bathtub ;)
PROS: In addition to everything I named above, I should mention the great customer service. We were upgraded from Mandalay Bay to THEhotel. We even got a Buy 2 Nights Get 1 Free deal. This we got 3 nights at theHOTEL for around $350 including taxes and fees when the regular price should have been around $650.
