I recently stayed at the LV Hilton for a week-long visit to Vegas. I've stayed at the property before, and because I was "rated," was able to stay for 5 nights for only $215. I'm not a big gambler at all, and was impressed with the rate -- so I decided to go for it.
First, DO NOT believe the reviews that say the hotel is old and falling down. I was just there for a week and the property is in very good condition, especially all of the public areas. I do know they are in the process of renovating some rooms, so it would be wise to request a room that has already been updated. The updated rooms are nice, and include a flat-screen TV and nice decorations.
That said, this is not an ultra-luxe property on the strip. It's a fine, clean, comfortable hotel with some imperfections (bathrooms could be bigger, they charge for internet, the safe is small, etc.).
The dining here is pretty good. And if you're into Sports, the Sports Book is the best I've seen in town.
Personally, I prefer being away from the insanity of the Strip, which is why I chose this hotel. Also, it's right on the Monorail, so it's easy to get to other places. I would definitely stay here again for the right price.
