I use to stay at the Hard Rock Hotel all the time. But sometimes when I couldn't get a room I would stay across the street at the Amerisuites. Mediocre at best and overpriced. BUT NOW! I booked through the Hyatt web site and they surprised me by booking me at the SAME PROPERTY UNDER A NEW NAME.

It was WAY WAY WAY BETTER! Everything. Rooms, lobby. Wood paneled and huge flat screen TV. Great Hyatt beds. I read some other reviews about airplane noise. Totally wasn't an issue. Yes they are near McCarron but it's muffled. And I was on the 5th floor.

I know my comments sound so good I must be a shill. I'm not. But I am very picky and was expecting another mediocre experience in Vegas hotel staying. I thought this place was perfect. Great service. There was a slow drain in my sink and the TV didn't get HD so they came up immediately and fixed it. There's free internet. Coffee in the room which I like. Huge fluffy pillows which I like. Kind of a suite layout. Living area and bedroom area.

Wish I could rag on something here. But can't. I'd look here first before going to any of those crappy casino/spa joints.

I stayed here last weekend for one night on a Saturday and was familiar with the location as I frequent the Hard Rock Hotel and have also passed by the Hyatt Place on my way to the Vegas airport. Like almost all things in L.V., this is a much larger Hyatt Place than normal and it was pretty full from sports groups booked there (I think the S.D. State women's basketball team was one of the groups there). Seeing that, I was a bit nervous about room noise and the long lines for the complimentary breakfast but after requesting a quiet room, was surprised that it was a nice quiet corner room on the second floor. No noises from the other rooms around or above and the room was clean, well kept and comfortable (if you don't like firm beds then beware). As stated in some of the other posts, the only noise was from the airplanes overhead----having previously lived under a flight path, I think I was somewhat insulated from the noise but it is an issue to consider until they change the flight path.

The wait for the breakfast line was not too bad and while they had run out of a couple of things when I first got there, I was surprised at how quickly it was replenished (compared to some of the other Hyatt Places I've stayed at). Did not take advantage of the pool (which was outdoors and looked nice) or the exercise room (which was on the second floor). They have 2 internet stations by the breakfast area in addition to the free wi-fi throughout the hotel. Did not take advantage of the free airport shuttle as I had driven over (but this is a great feature for L.V.) nor the complimentary shuttle to Planet Hollywood as I was told you had to call for pickup. However, location across from the Hard Rock Hotel/Cafe is great and if you're a walker, a great selection of restaurants on their "Restaurant Row" on Flamingo Rd. is about 10 min walk away.

Overall, I was impressed with this hotel as I'm a frequent visitor to Vegas and I don't always stay or play on the Strip. If you're looking for Strip casinos or action or this is your first visit to L.V. you might want to pay extra for a strip casino. Otherwise, this is a great place to stay.

Booked a room through Hotwire for around $50 USD/night. Hotel looks great. Rooms are big, with massive LCD TV , coffee maker and key-operated safe. Bathroom a little small. Modern interior decoration. Very clean. Free wi-fi with good signal. 2 computers and a printer are also available for use in the lobby.

Included breakfast was good. Bagels, bread, english muffins, cereal, fruit, yoghurt and Starbucks coffee and teas.

Location was ok. They provided a free shuttle to the strip (Planet Hollywood), which leaves at half past every hour. In order to return to the hotel, you need to call and book the shuttle. Definitely more fun to stay on the strip if you plan to have big days out. Also, there is a free airport shuttle. Plenty of restaurants around, as well as a laundromat and CVS pharmacy.

We weren't bothered at all by the noise of the aeroplanes as flights finish at midnight. Very friendly staff.

As a travel arranger for our company I made this reservation directly on short notice due to all other hotels filled. My traveler attended a convention and this hotel was on the shuttle route. However, the staff was unaware of the timing or any information relative to the shuttle to get to/from the convention and kept referring to going to pick up the shuttle at another nearby hotel. Rooms a bit worn/dirty, and staff were just ok. Not a good choice for people expecting shuttle service for a convention.
