Ok. Damn. That's the first thing I could think to say. I've been here an hour and I already feel like I need my review started because there's so much already going through my head. Not in the best way either. I liked the fact that "check in" was right through the door instead of like some places where you get dropped off and have to go on a mission to find where you check in. You walk in and there it is. Despite it being 10:00pm there was a line to check in. It went so quick though. Plenty of people working. I have no complaints except for the fact they charge $200 for incidentals. That's quite a bit. I got totally lost trying to find the "Grand Tower" because the instructions I was given at the front desk were horrible. Other than those issues check in was fine. My room is on the 10th floor room 516. This whole place is a maze. When you finally find your tower you have another mission to find your elevators! Once you find those and get to your floor you come a circle and in each direction going all around is a series of hallways. Once you figure out what hallway to go you end up going down and hallway never ends it seems like. I felt like I was walking the green mile or something. It took forever to get to my room. The ice machine is located in the "300" hallway so you have a quite always to get ice. I think each hallway should have an ice machine at least halfway down because there's about 150 rooms in one hallway!
The room is so small. The other hotels I've stayed at have larger and more cozy rooms. They have the "bathroom" to your immediate right when you come in. The vanity area is very small. They have the toilet in a little room by itself kinda like its a public bathroom. Next to it is the shower. The shower is awesome though. Great water temp and pressure and very spacious. The TV has a lot of channels but the signal goes out quite a bit which is annoying. The bed though OMG! It was like sleeping on a cloud. So comfy! The pillows were great. I had a king bed with 4 huge heavy pillows that you melt into once your head hits them. The mattress, the sheets and the comforter were so soft! I loved that bed and I wanted to take it with me. I will admit as my stay went on the room grew on me a bit.
The casino was huge. It took me a couple of days to start figuring out where everything was and still found myself getting lost at times. Plenty of places to eat and a wide variety of table games and slots. Plenty to do. They closed the pool on one of the days and it figures it was on the day I planned to enjoy the pool after my spa visit. It was a little rainy out and they closed it over that! Very stupid and dramatic if you ask me. I also loved the fact that in the lobby of my tower was a 24 hour convenient store with all the odds and ends you might need for your trip. Gambling here was great and I met some awesome dealers. Specifically Vic and Niegel. I would come here again just to play at their table.
Like most Vegas hotels this one had it;s good and bad. The good seemed to outweigh the bad and I would stay here again.
