We are staying at the Hyatt as we speak. We came to Vegas for the New Year and chose the hotel after reading the reviews, but mainly because it was opposite the Hard Rock Hotel where we were spending New Years Eve.
For the money you can't really complain. The staff are fantastic. When we checked in we were told to use the free shuttle bus that they provide to travel to and from the strip ( it operates from 5.45am and finishes with the last pick up at 11.45pm ) They advised about walking anywhere because of the "area" so be warned!!
Our room, like the other reviews suggest, was the size of a suite. Reasonably clean but quite an unpleasant smell lingering in the corridors.
We were absolutely gobsmacked to find that we were under the flight path - perhaps flight path are the wrong words. Flight path suggests the planes have actually taken off before they bounce over the roof of the hotel. We are on the top ( 6th ) floor. The planes are constant - the sound of one, not disappearing before the next. The room vibrates as they go over and car alarms in the parking lot below sing in unison as the jets set them off. We asked if we could be moved to a lower floor thinking that maybe a few storeys above us would kill the noise ,but the room we were shown stunk of cigarettes ( although this is a non-smoking hotel ) and there was no getting away from the planes. The local pharmacy sells ear plugs. What we couldn't understand is why no-one else had mentioned this in their reviews. Well the answer is that for the next 6 months they are relaying a section of runway at the airport and during this time planes are taking off and landing on a different approach. So be warned!!!!!!!!!
The comp breakfast is not bad, so if it wasn't for the planes the hotel would be fine for a base.

This is a very clean , comfortable hotel about 1 mile off the strip. It is near the airport and across the street from the Hard Rock Cafe. The rooms are great, like junior suites, with a great buffet breakfast. The pool id quite good. Overall I would recommend a stay there away from the craziness of the strip.

This was my second stay at this property and this stay was not as good as the last. Great TV and great bed but the room was a little dirty. The elliptical machine in the workout room had old dirt and sweat and looked like it hadn't been wiped down in a long while. The gym wipe dispenser was out of wipes too! Breakfast was unimpressive. They ran out of juice glasses and charge extra money for eggs or sausage. Some of the staff members were friendly while others were not. Guys that stepped off the shuttle bus in suites where greeted warmly. The staff just kind of stared at me when I walked in like maybe they thought I wanted to rob the place and I'm a GP Platinum member who travels regularly.

This place also smells. When Hyatt remodeled the property they apparently spend money on new granite, wallpaper and carpet but forgot to scrape the popcorn ceilings in the rooms and the halls so this material holds the same old stale, smokey smell the hotel had when it was a dumpy old Amerisuites. For GP members who need a place in Vegas to accumulate points, I guess it is okay for a night or two; however, I would NEVER bring my wife to a place like this! Hyatt Place still has a ways to go before they are up to the level of Holiday Inn Express or Marriott Courtyard.

Hyatt was good w/ our kid. We had to share a room, which is always a bum. Kid on sofabed in living room part. We were cumfy. Bed was foamy. Breakfast was toast, fruit, coffee (no eggs/meat) which left much to be desired. Not enough people working to refill coffee pots, etc. Long lines for breakfast. Even so, for price paid ($120) it was clean and nice and I'd recommend for families. It's a re-don AmeriSuites. Best part was huge flat screen TV. Off strip, and quiet, except for airplanes (right near the airport). Front desk printed out a list of places to take children, which was very nice, and the free shuttle took us to the strip (GREAT!) but didn't know info. for the Strip bus ($5 all day is good for 24-hrs.). Drop off was at Planet Hollywood which was fine and close to everything (Paris/ and Bellagio).
