$99 on a Saturday night! All non smoking. 1 mile from Red Rock Casino on 215. Westin bed. Rain locker shower. Hot breakfast. The mod stuff is wasted on me. Some road and airport noise, bring ear plugs. This is an intro rate thru the website. Vegas on a Sat nite, $99.

The Element is a great place to stay when you want to avoid the congestion, noise, and expense of the Strip. My partner and I stayed one night on our way to Death Valley National Park, and we loved the cool, modern design of the Element. We had a one room suite that included complete kitchen facilities, sitting area, and complimentary wireless internet service. The bed was just short of Westin's Heavenly Bed in comfort, but the shower and bath facilities were great! The hotel's workout room is well equipped, bright, and clean. Our room faced the highway, and we wouldn't have known without looking out the window--sound proofing was excellent.

The only drawback (as mentioned by another reviewer as well): Breakfast service is woefully inadequate. The idea is excellent, but the Sunday morning on which we ambled down to the lobby area we found an army of guests including several families waiting for THE SINGLE STAFF PERSON to bring more breakfast burritos to the breakfast "buffet." A dozen burritos would arrive...a dozen burritos would disappear in a flash leaving everyone else waiting for the next delivery. The other components of the buffet--pastries, bread, yogurt--had all disappeared a long time ago. We would have been better off going to a local grocery store and buying some breakfast items for preparation in our gorgeous kitchen! (The hotel has a small pantry where you can buy a limited selection of frozen foods, pasta, and tomato sauce. Apparently wine and beer will be coming soon, but there is no full bar as in the Aloft Hotels) Or, there are several upscale coffee houses and restaurants in nearby Summerlin shopping malls that provide morning food service.

Breakfast (or lack of it) won't stop us from returning to the Element. It's a comfortable, relaxing and low-stress place to stay.

We stayed here in March. The hotel appears geared to the business crowd however we were attending a large swim meet (swim meet not at the hotel) and many of the rooms were booked to swimmers. Anyone looking a nice hotel away from the strip would like this property. The hotel is new and the rooms all have contemporary style decorating. Our room had a king bed - very nice bed, a couch, kitchenette and a good sized bathroom. All very clean and well stocked. Some rooms look out to the freeway. The freeway is noisy however these rooms have more light and have a view of the desert. The gym is well equiped and there is a pool. For those that want a larger gym or pool, Las Vegas Fitness is very close and offers memberships by the day or week. The staff at the hotel was helpful and courteous. My one complaint is the free breakfast. The food is really subpar. Granted it is free, however it could be better. This is a great hotel for those that do not want to stay on the strip. It is close to everything yet not in the midst of the casinos. We got a good deal on Expedia.

Our first "Element" experience. We only live two hours away and use a Vegas hotel for overnight business functions only. First of all, everything about the Element franchise reaches out to our sensibilities, the food in the morning, much better than you are use to for this hotel class, trust me, the decor, the shower, the natural light, work out facilities, etc.

Secondly, the Vegas staff was fantastic in every way. Attentive, polite, professional. This location on 215 is real quiet, yet accessible to everything. I am a full time climber and guide at Red Rocks, for this it is perfect. My wife attends horse shows and no matter how far she has to drive across town, would rather stay here, clean, quiet, exacting atmosphere.
