We stayed here last year at the same time. The location is great a little (half a mile) away fromTthe Strip and the pokies and the cigarettes! The monrail stops almost at the door and it is great ride using a season ticket - so conveneint and scenic.

The hotel (suite) was just as good this time and the bar staff ,after a day's driving to Hoover Dam and Grand Canyon and to Death Valley Junction and other places, were great company before hitting the town.. The room was fantastric, great view.

Tip - contact Robert Cole (Director of Rooms) for a great deal - we did twice, thanks Robbie.

The fact that the hotel is not on the strip is mitigated by its proximity to the Vegas monorail system. Just a quick walk over to the monorail terminal and you're on your way to whatever group of casinos you want. Not as convenient as being right on the strip, but somewhat cheaper as a result.

We loved this hotel! The only reason I gave it a "4" is because the pool and hot tub were closed while were there. This was a huge disappointment to my husband and kiddo. Other than that - it is close to the monorail entrance (without crossing any major streets) and everyone was kind and accomodating. They even give you a free drink from the bar when you stay.
The doormen were especially nice and helpful. Our room was clean, and the bathroom was spacious, and had a second light over the sink that we used to keep the bathroom lighted in the night. We loved that it was so quiet and peaceful after spending our days on the strip. And the beds were magnificently comfy!!!

I was here for a meeting that didn't want the image of a casino - this worked. It is easily accessible to the monorail station that was pretty convenient, although I did get stuck at Harrah's when the monorail station there closed unexpectedly. I just taxied back. Also, the pool was being redone while I ws there, but I doubt I would have used ti anyway since it was right next to the meeting rooms for the conference. (Hi bossman, just me sitting here half-naked in the hottub, not at the meeting...) Really, an upgrade would have been mirroring the windows surrounding the pool.

The room was great - pretty big with a really nice bathroom. I love rooms with a separate bath/shower. The room service was good too as was the maid service. I had a steak sent up medium rare - cooked to perfection!

The only thing that detracted from the hotel was a duo of prostitutes in the hotel bar one night. Sure it's Vegas, but this is a non-casino hotel and it took away from the classy image the hotel seemed to be trying to maintain. The bar staff knew they were prostitutes and didn't seem to mind much.

I'd stay here again happily if I had to, but if I come next time for fun, I'll probably stay at one of the casino hotels.
