The hotel is very nice.
Envy restaurant is a real up beat place with a trendy feel to it I had lunch & dinner their & both meals was great.The staff is good & the food is what makes this place but i will say I expected a more creative menu but the off menu specials is what makes dinner very special.Thay have to put the banana bread pudding on the menu

Stayed at Renaissance in Las Vegas on Paradise Road from 2/10-14 and was extremely pleased. I am a Marriott Rewards member so stay was free, but I would have gladly paid for the stay. Upon arriving, I was greeted by the friendly doorman and check-in was efficient. The room was nicely done with a very comfortable (actual) King bed. Of note: many Marriott's seem to have 2 double beds that are bound together to form a king bed and they are not very comfortable.

Nice flat screen TV, bathroom spacious with separate tub (though this could be a bit larger, though I assume they get more business traveller's). I did not eat at Envy, so can't comment on restaurant but I did hear from locals that it was quite good.

The location near monorail was a big plus, getting up and down Strip for $6 round-trip beats a taxi. Also, another plug for the monorail: clean, well-lit and with a sherrif at each station for security.

All-in-all I would highly recommend the Renasissance for a less hectic alternative to the madness (though fun) of the Strip.

Stayed here the last weekend in January, and everything was excellent. Beautiful decor, comfy beds, friendly staff, and a location adjacent to the convention center and monorail. I would highly recommend this hotel to any business traveler or anyone who doesn't want to have to walk a quarter-mile through a smoke-filled casino to find their room. (I've also stayed at the Renaissances in Hollywood and New Orleans, and those are superb as well.)
If you do have the urge to gamble, though, jump on the monorail, don't go to the nearby Hilton!

I have been to Vegas many, many times, and stayed at some of the best hotels in the area: Mandalay Bay, the Venetian. This hotel is not as luxurious, but it has its own very unique and special appeal. No casino, which means no smoke-filled hallways. Easy to get into the check-in desk and easy to find your room. The rooms are not large, certainly not when contrasted with the luxurious sweeping rooms in the Venetian. But they are clean, stylish and designed with the business traveler in mind. A generous desk with high speed connection, a TV you can watch easily while working at your laptop, and amazing views of the strip. Add to all this, one of the best steakhouses I have had the pleasure to dine at: Envy. The restaurant is extraordinary, and what a bonus to have it just downstairs. The monorial to downtown is across the street, and you are minutes from the casino action.

One downside and strangely designed feature. The small pool is in a courtyard that is basically in the shade the entire day. Makes no sense. A spa would have made this even more desirable. But all in all...if you are in Vegas on business, you can hardly do much better.
