My husband and I recently moved from the East Coast to Las Vegas with two car loads of belongings. While waiting to close on a house, we were staying with a friend. But, as the weeks went on, we felt like we were imposing and it was time to move out until we got the house. We stayed at a Motel 6 for a week, but the room was just too small and felt cluttered with our belongings and we needed to move to a larger place.

I looked around at a few hotels in the area before finding Blair House Suites. They let me look at the room before deciding to stay. I was impressed by the size of the rooms. The large walk-in closet was a lifesaver. We fit most our moving boxes and other stuff in it and it kept the room from looking cluttered. The rooms looked freshly painted and the furniture looked and felt new. The room had a king size bed which beat the futon we were sleeping on at my friend’s house and the queen size bed at Motel 6. The kitchen enabled us to cook a few meals in the room vice eating out all the time. They had coffee and newspapers in the lobby every morning where I got to chat with other people staying there. Everyone I met seemed real friendly. Many of the people I talked to have lived there for years and seem to love it.

The hotel was a block off the strip and was a short walk to Greek Isles, Riviera, and Circus Circus. There is also a Walgreens and 7-11 a block away, so getting snacks and drinks late at night was easy. I ended up staying for 12 days and the price was less than what some of the hotels on the strip wanted for just 3 days. It was also $32 less than the Motel 6 per week. I would definitely stay here again if I ever need to.

I stayed at the Blair House during the Sema convention as was pleasantly surprised at how clean the hotel was. It had been recently renovated and was a good value for the money. I could walk to the convention which was nice because getting a taxi was next to impossible. I will be back next year.

Well 1st off the sheets were stained the toilet broke and the husband and wife who work there were the rudest people. When we would ask for more towels they acted like the towels were made of gold at Motel 6 they dont make a big deal about towels. One day I went to exchange towels and Mina the front desk clerk asked what I got on my towel I said its probably make up she said that it would be a $4 charge because they cant get make up out of the towels. I told her I can take the towel back and wash it myself. These people were so rude and Mina's husband was such a smart [--] to our party I will never stay at this hotel ever again. Motel 6 treats you so much better.

My husband and I travelled to Las Vegas to deal for the World Series of Poker. We absolutely knew no one in Vegas, and we had never visited before except for a 24 hour period to audition for the Series. We drove from Pennsylvania (2500 mi) and just started driving around the city looking for a decent short-term rental for our two month "business trip." After looking at about 15 different locations, we settled on the Blair House Suites. The prices for the different locations were very similar. What set the Blair House apart was its convenient location to the Strip, and its king size beds.
I must admit, we were very nervous to rent any short term housing, but this place looked warm and inviting. The internet-accessible computers in the lobby were very convenient for handling bill paying while away from home and keeping family updated on our "adventures" in Las Vegas.
The beds are not the most comfortable, and in fact, I went to Target to purchase an egg crate mattress for my side of the bed. My husband was fine; he can sleep on a hardwood floor peacefully. The kitchen was tiny but it served its purpose. It did not have a microwave, and if I stay there again, I will simply bring mine from home or purchase one at the local thrift store.
The pool was well maintained, though the palm trees seemed to constantly shed leaves into it. Not a big deal. We were so busy working that we didn't have alot of time to laze by the pool. Another nice feature was the two laundry rooms. Obviously, we didn't pack enough clothes to last two months. The front desk always kept extra quarters on hand. The breakfast on the weekends is a little weak. It's not worth $4,00 when there is an IHOP on almost every corner. Ok, not really, but there is a Denny's less than one block away. As stated before, this place is very close to the north end of the Strip (you are right behind the Wynn) and its less than one block to the new monorail system. Very convenient. If you have a car, it takes less than 5 min to get to the closest supermarket, and if no car, you can walk to the CVS which is next to Denny's. Overall, if we do deal for the World Series again, we would definitely stay here again. One last piece of advice: make sure you put the DO NOT DISTURB sign on your door knob, or the maid will simply walk right in w/o knocking! Very embarrassing when you are relaxing in your birthday suit...
