Booked Embassy Suites through Hilton Honors as a free night.
After waying up the other Hilton options to use up our points, we decided as it was our first night in Las Vegas following a long flight, it would do the job we needed ie somewhere nice to sleep.
Turned out it was so much better than just that.
Firstly, we were able to self-park directly outside the lobby, and were unpacking within minutes, very efficient.
The room was exactly as we requested, a high floor, non-smoking, room with strip view. Perfect !
The complimentary beverages and snacks served in Coconuts Lounge 5.30pm - 7.30pm were appreciated. The complimentary breakfast is fully cooked to order every morning in the atrium, a lovely setting.
We were delighted to see all the fish, and the Royal Swans, also in the atrium, they are named Elvis and Priscilla.
The food in the Three Palms Cafe was also very good, as was the service.
We were wondering if we would find Swenson Street easily, in fact, it is just around the block from Hard Rock, so no problem at all.
Very happy with our choice to stay at Embassy Suites, spotlessly clean, and everything we wanted. Will definitely stay again, even if we have to pay !!!

We stayed here for one night before heading to Utah. The hotel was recently renovated, and our suite was spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated. There were two large flat screen TVs – one in the bedroom and one in the living area, with a fair selection of channels. There was also a wet bar with a mini fridge and microwave. The bathroom was a decent size with a tub/shower combo. Breakfast was delicious with the usual Embassy Suites offering – cooked to order omelets, pancakes, and an assortment of hot and cold cereals, bagels, muffins, yogurt, and juice. The staff at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. We asked one staff member for directions and he wrote them down for us and even drew a map. There was a statue of Elvis in the lobby and two swans named Elvis and Priscilla swimming in an indoor pond. The hotel is only a few minutes drive from the Strip and a great place to stay.

We had to use up some miles, so we decided to stay in this hotel based on some reviews. The location wasn't far from the strip, but it's probably too far to walk - unless you just really like walking (we did try it once).

They offer a shuttle, but the times aren't terribly convenient. It runs every hour, but it starts late enough and stops early enough that you just don't get enough use out of it, and you'll want to take a cab most times. The times you may make use of it are when you come back to the room mid-day and want to go back to the strip for a show or something.

You will be able to take advantage of the included breakfast and the manager's reception, but what you can't do are gamble at the hotel (have to go to a casino for that), and though they have a pool, there isn't really much to see while you do it - you're out in the middle of the parking lot. So if you want to sunbathe, you might want to pick another joint.

Other than that, the hotel works fine as a base of operations. It's just not the most scenic place in the city.

Pro
Friendly front desk personnel
The breakfast cooks were awesome and very entertaining.

Con
Housekeeping needs a little work (took some dirty towels and tub mat, but didn't leave replacements) and need to pay attention to some of the small things that customers should not have to worry about (like running out of toilet paper).

Front desk proudly mentioned the "heated" pool with a waterfall. We happend to hit a Vegas cold spell, but the pool was not heated. All the patrons around the pool complained about the ice cold water temperature.

Hotel web site described "up-scale hotel completed a multi-million dollar renovation in 2007". this place does NOT look like it's been renovated in the past two years and really does not look up-scale.


Big Negative
Absolutely NO mention/warning of airplane noise. I realize that they're designated as the Embassy Suites Las Vegas "Airport", but I've had stays at hotels at the actual airport or connected property, but did not have this problem (Embassy Suites San Francisco Airport, Hilton Boston Logan Airport). If you're in a room facing Swenson, then prepare for noise and the room rattling.

You're right below the flight line of the airplanes. I recommend requesting a room on the Paradise road side to minimize the noise. Location is not the fault of the hotel staff, but I did request a quiet room and the person checking us in did make it a point that he was assigning us to a quiet room. I'm shocked that they would put us in this room.
