Let me disclose up front that I am not a Las Vegas fan. It is not a place where I would vacation and I loathe having to go there on business. It was such a relief to find the Courtyard Las Vegas South. I knew I would be getting a solid business hotel with a clean room and bathroom, and free Internet access.

The room was exactly as you would expect from a new Courtyard. It had a comfortable bed with a nice down duvet. The bathroom was clean and well-lit. The two-tier desk and chair were comfortable. The Internet access was reliable. An added bonus -- the hotel is a completely non-smoking environment.

For my business meeting, I booked Meeting Room D, which was on the first floor. Terri and Olivia in the Sales Dept. were very helpful in planning the meeting.

When my client and I were leaving for the airport, we realized we had missed the free shuttle by about 2 minutes. The front desk staff jumped on their radio, found out the shuttle bus was at the hotel next door, and routed the driver back to pick up, which was very thoughtful and helpful.

There is no doubt -- the next time I have to go to Vegas, I will book myself into the Courtyard Marriott South.

I did a one night stay here for business. It was perfect. Even though there was a big fight the next day and the hotel was sold out the next day - they still let me do a late check out (THANKS!)
they also have a FREE shutle to the airport (one way only) this was awesome! My room was very nice (double queen). I was cold and I did have some issue with the heater not staying on (once it got to the right temp - the AC would come on and I would freeze for 10 min then the heat, then AC - you get the picture). I was so tired I didnt care. I did do the buffet breakfast for $10. You get a cooked to order omelet , meats and you can even get belgian waffles! It was well worth it to me. Staff was friendly. they also have free shuttles to Mandalay so no problem getting to the strip! I will be staying here again! Note - there is not much near here so buy your sundries before you get here!

Located along the I-15, across the highway from the Mandalay Bay Convention Center, this hotel provided a pleasant stay. It seems to be newly constructed, and it's well maintained (i.e. everything is very clean...the rooms, the bathrooms, etc.). The check-in staff were very courteous, and the entire hotel is completely non-smoking, a relief from casino hotels I stayed at. Near the hotel there are a couple of other similar hotels, but nothing else within walking distance. I had a rental car so getting to/from the hotel and around Vegas wasn't a problem. The desk clerk did mention that the hotel did provide a shuttle to the airport and to the Strip (I never used the shuttle so I'd check on that one).

Others have posted about the airplane noise, and it's true. During flying hours (maybe 6am-11pm ???) you will hear the planes outside, but it's not horrendous. In the morning, when I was in my room watching tv, the noise didn't bother me (I really didn't hear the planes because of the tv). However, if you're trying to sleep during the day or early evening, then the planes might be a real bother.

While I enjoyed my stay, the hotel can be pricey for what it is. I don't know what a comparable hotel in a comparable location should cost. I paid under $100 per night while the listed price was $199. I think I paid a very fair price. Most of the cheap rooms in Vegas are attached to casinos which means lots of cigarette smoke. As long as I could get a fair price, I would definitely stay here again.

At the last minute I had to attend training for work in Las Vegas and this hotel was one of the few that was available at a price I could pay. I'm not one for much of the stuff on the Strip and so I really appreciated the quiet suburban location that was a short drive from the airport. The staff were helpful and the hotel was very clean. I was thankful for the Trader Joe's grocery across the street and an upscale pizza place in the shopping center around the back of the hotel as good alternatives for the usual travel fare.
