This is a great place to stay in Vegas. I have lived near Vegas all my life so my stays tend to push away from the usual noisy casinos. No complaints. What i likes was they had dishes, forks and knives and a refridge in the room. You can go to the store and stock up on food and conveniently live in the room without having to do room service etc...

One day we were so hung over, we ordered lunch at a nice Italian restaurant but were unable to eat all the food due to our uneasy stomach! So we took the doggie bag of food back to the hotel, put it in the refrigerator. After our recovery nap we were able to take the left overs, put it in the microwave provided, the eat the food on the plates and silverware provided – that rocked!!! So easy and convenient! At the pool there are barbeques there for anyone to use. Bring your own meat and cook it!! Just so so cool! The pool was nice and the Jacuzzis were excellent. In the hotel they had a store (if you didn’t want to go to the local grocery store) where you can buy food for the room. I liked it there. If you drive, Self Park, it saves you 5 bucks each day.
I liked the stay there. Location, it is off a bit from the strip, however, there are more and more new hotels being build near the stratosphere, so there is more near the hotel. The fasion mall is near the hotel .. the mall has excellent shops!!
Staff were very friendly. Internet was excellent and free.
Do not take a taxi, it is now 10/15 bucks just to get to the main area. It was never this expensive years back. What we did is get a daily rail pass of 13.00 each person. You can cross at the Sahara hotel and get the rail to the main area.
All and all it was a great escape from the main hotels. This is a resort, there is not casino in the hotel. Also note, get a Hilton membership card as the points can be automatically converted to virgin air miles!!!

Let me start by saying I have stayed here in the past. As Hilton Platinum I typically receive a room upgrade and/or breakfast. In the past I've stayed in the one bedroom suites and they are nice with a kitchen and separate bath and shower.

This trip I was booked into a "studio". When I say it was no different than a typical Motel 6, I'm serious. It was very small, the word cramped comes to mind. The hotel was maybe 50% capacity, although the check-in person who was really nice although a bit clueless kept saying we have a lot of people who own a HGV stake staying here.

I guess if you own a HGV membership for a one bedroom suite, sure it's a good place to stay. Otherwise, with the current offers available on the strip I would not stay here again.

LOCATION
As previously mentioned, location is down strip a bit although you can walk to Sahara casino if you want to gamble. There is a CVS within a 3 minute walk where you can get snacks, drinks, etc.. to bring back to room.

CHECK-IN
The check-in was slow considering there were 3 people checking in guests and only 2 people ahead of me in line when I arrived at 8:30pm. It took about 20 minutes. I knew I was in trouble when the woman checking me in said we have a great room in tower 2, where i had stayed in the past, then she sad "h actually no that is not available, but i have another great room in tower 1." When I got to the room it was awful, it appears some room have been remodeled, so ask at check-in if you are getting an remodeled room.

ROOM
As noted BIG difference between one bedroom suite which was nice and studio which was awful. In need of updating. Neither room had flat screen TV. Otherwise, was clean, but nothing "fancy".

NOTE: There is no casino on the property which I like as I was out here for work and it was a distraction free lobby.

It is a hotel, not a casino. Has really great staff, the rooms are clean and provides great value for mo.ney. Close to all Vegas land marks. Would visit again.

Although this hotel lacks the spice of the other hotels in Las Vegas it is a very nice place to stay. I was in a two bedroom suite which was perfect for us 3 travelers. The hotel itself did not have a casino or any restaurants but its situated on the strip so you are not too far from all the action. The pool area was gorgeous and the climate in November beautiful! I would definitely stay here again.
