The hotel has a wonderful assortment of restaurants - Il Fornaio, Greenberg's, Gallagher's (amazing steaks!), etc. The employees are efficient and friendly and the rooms are very comfortable and reasonably priced. Beware of the $25 per night \"resort fee\" which is to cover telephone, swimming pool, and in-room WiFi (which was down most of the time we were here).\n\nThe dealers are friendly but not overly so and the general feel is not as hip as the Aria but not cheesy like most of the downtown hotel/casinos. And the location on the strip is ideal - convenient to stroll down Las Vegas Blvd., and close enough to the trams and all many of the other Casinos - Excalibur, Luxor, etc.\n\nThe swimming pool was closed during our stay but I took a peak and it looked very nice. Parking is easy and the cigarette haze is about average as far as casinos for. All in all a solid 3 1/2 - 4 stars."^^ .
