I was a little disappointed with this hotel. The rooms very outdated and look dirty. It's hard to tell if anything is clean as the decor is so dark. Our bedding had holes. No free WiFi, no flat screen tv's. It was okay for a night, but I would hate to spend a vacation at this hotel.

We stayed here with four young girls (9,6,4,7 months) when my husband had an engineering convention. (Yes kids in Vegas for the Hoover Dam, Grand Canyon, The Shark Reef!!!!, The Children's museum!!!!, The Lion Habitat, The fountain and Garden at the Bellagio, The chocolate factory and the Dolphin habitat). We picked this place primarily because we did not want to stay on the strip and we always stay at an Embassy Suite because of the free (or included) breakfast. The service was excellent.

They have a fountain that was fantastic for the children. It had thier undivided attention. It was very entertaining for them.

We have seen more extensive breakfast at other Embassys but it was more than sufficient.

One thing to watch for. We had dinner at the restaurant the first night and my 6 year old burned herself on the on-table candle. The flame comes over the top of the votive. The staff was very attentive and the dinner was free.

We choose the Embassy Suites Convention Center, because we had our 11 year old with us this trip and did not feel as we would be able to take advantage of a casino. Plus the added value of the free breakfast and the managers receptions.
We arrived a little after noon, and our room was ready. We upgraded to one of the “Large Balcony Rooms”, and I’m glad we did. They all face the strip, and the view at night is spectacular. I am convinced the view is better than anywhere we have stayed on the strip because you can see it all. The balconies are about 12 feet by 30 feet with several chairs and lounges. (See Picture)
We only made the managers reception one night. About the same as any other Embassy Suites. This one how ever does not give you a limited number of tickets for drinks like I have run into at other Embassy’s, so it is all you can drink.
The free breakfast is very good and the quality at this one was above normal.
The room is typical Embassy, but I think they had just been re-done. Everything looked new and fresh. The bathrooms were above average size.
The lobby has a computer to print out your boarding passes, but it was down, so the clerk offered to print them for us. Nice touch on their part.

We rented a car, and this hotel is very conveniently located to the strip, and makes a good starting for doing all the touristy stuff. We had no issues parking at any of the casinos and malls.

Day trip to the dam and Green Valley was only about 2 hours total, and worth the trip to me, but my daughter was not impressed with driving that far to see a “Brick Wall” holding back water. She would have rather just shopped that day.

Did the sign. They have a parking lot now. Guess enough people were killed running across the highway that they decided it would pay for a lot. Once you park, you pretty much get in line and the “tourist etiquette” takes over. You offer to take a picture of the person in front of you with their camera, and then you ask the people behind you to take one of you with your camera, and so on.

Pretty much crammed all the tourist stuff we could into our trip for our daughter’s sake. Volcano, Fountains, Conservatory, Sirens, Lions, Dolphins, M&M World, Caesars Shops ect.

We did see Cirque du Soleil KA at the MGM. I will put up another review of it, but we really liked it.

I do have to add, that I thought the porn slappers did a very good job of pulling back when my wife and daughter went by. They did put them back out for me after they walked by, but hey, at least they have tact.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay at the Embassy Suites and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone else. Feel free to PM me if you have any other questions.

Breakfast - made to order & hot
Service - great
Not a slot machine to be seen in the hotel - nice.
Near convention ctr but not so near to the strip & casino's
