WARNING!! I stayed at the Artisan in Las Vegas in May 2008 during a submission grappling tournament. I booked tthrough Travel Worm getting a reasonable price at $51.00 per night for two nights (a Fri and Sat). On 21 Sept 08 my credit card was charged $433.81 by the Artisan. I called the Artisan to clear this matter up the manager stated to me that Travel Worm went bankrupt and they charged my card so they could get their money. I immediately called Travel Worm's corporate main office in Las Vegas and they told me that they (Travel Worm) are not in bankruptcy nor are they going bankrupt. Evidently I was not the first to call Travel Worm with this problem. Travel Worm took my info and asked me to email all the info to them and they would take care of it. I since tried calling the Artisan and can only get the managers voice mail. To add...Atisan also makes you pay a refundable deposit (as most hotels in Las Vegas do) but never refunded it back to me...

My fiance and I decided to go to Vegas at 3pm on a Friday. I looked online for a last minute deal and found this hotel, which was only $200 for 3 nights. The pictures on the web looked quite nice and the hotel offered a pool, which I always love to have. Off we went and arrived late Friday night. The staff is super friendly from the valet to the front desk (Note: there is only Valet Parking).

The room was same as pictured. Regular size room and the bathroom was quite small, but functional.

The lobby walls and ceiling display hundreds of painting reproductions, the atmosphere is quite dark and artsy (though not spooky) and you could quite feel as if you were on a set of a vampire movie. It was quite interesting to say the least but in a very good way.

The hotel has a bar, which is quite "happening on Friday and Saturday nights as we experienced ourselves. A very cosmopolitan crowd comes in and out... The swimming pool area is lovely with wonderful day beds, where we were able to lounge for an afternoon. They also offer a small chapel, for those who take the plunge.

The hotel is located off the strip but it only takes 3 minutes to be near the biggest casinos.

This place was a very nice surprise and we might be back!

Myself and about 40 other people stayed at this hotel for a friends wedding. She and her husband had the wedding in The Artisan indoor wedding chaple (very small, beautiful) the dinner/reception was in the dining area of the hotel. Very fancy and fun. The DJ and photographer were great and the food was good as well.

This hotel is well off the strip and most cab drivers had a tough time driving straight to it.

The pool area had some topless ladies sitting at it. We had to ask the bell hop to handle the situation as we had several young people staying who wanted to use the pool but did not need an education.

They have one restaurant, one bar/lounge and we were unable to find any vending machines on sight. The mini fridge in the rooms has a zip tie. Unless you plan on spening $4.00 for bottle water do not open the door. Bring some things to your room to drink and snack on.

We had great luck with the service and enjoyed our unique stay. Check out the web sight it has nice photos but you must see in person to appreciate the unique art and decor.

Over all it was a nice experience however we have since stayed on or much closer to the strip.

Booked on hotwire, so I didn't know what I was getting into. I expected the typical casino-hotel. Nope. Artisan has all these additional charges that are not in the listed price and you can't find out until after you booked it. They charge for parking! My wife called the place, "spooky". Worst hotel I've stayed at in years. The A/C (this being Las Vegas) must have some kind of internal timer. I woke up every hour and a half to turn it back on. Tried all the settings, none fixed the problem. Couldn't find the light switch for the entry way. I ended up unscrewing the lightbulb to turn it off. The TV has a glaring LED that stays on all the time. Stay someplace else.
