Stayed here for four nights. Nice large room, upgraded, very clean and tastefully decorated. The staff great, very friendly and helpful. There is laundry facilities down the hall, they might be on every floor, we didn't need them but its nice to know it's available. We ate at the ENVY Restaurant downstairs, the food was amazing, our waiter Dionte was fabulous. Hotel is next to the convention center and very near the Strip. We had a car, it was easy to get around, no nightly parking charge either. Close enough to the action but relaxing in a smoke free environment, so important. We stayed here once before and I will stay here on our next visit to Las Vegas. Only negative comment would be the Executive Lounge, I think they can have a better selection. They don't compare to other Renaissance Hotels I have stayed in and Reward Members expect them to be equal to the Renaissance/Marriott standards.

First, the location is a plus. It is right next door to the LV Convention Center, which means you can walk to a show. It is also off-strip without the hassle and constant barrage of a strip hotel. You can get to the Strip via a cab $6-$10, a 1/4 mile walk to the monorail via the Convention Center station, or it you have a cab-drive and park free in any of the hotel parking garages.
Also, there is plenty of Dining choices on Paradise Road nearby including PF Chang's, Lawry's, Bahama Breeze, Hofbrauhaus, and Del Frisco's.
Second, the rooms are nice (and excellent compared to what you may end up with on the Strip.) Third, the amenities are worthwhile. From a nice lobby and pool to your eating choices--Cafe, Bar/Grill and Upscale Steakhouse, you have what you need at the Renaissance.
Finally, the staff is friendly and values you as a guest.

I stayed at this hotel during a conference in Las Vegas. Hotel is at a convinient location with lots of restaurants nearby and off the strip if you want something quieter and smoke free. Staff is decent and the rooms are average. I stayed on the club level floor. I would recommend for conferences but not for vacation.

My company required me to stay somewhere that was not associated with a Casino, but I needed somewhere close to the Strip. The Renaissance fit the bill. I was able to walk to the office park where I did my work and to the strip, although I probably wouldn't walk to the strip after dark. But it's an easy cab ride to the attractions. The rooms were nicely decorated and the staff very helpful. I received an upgrade to a suite at check in, but I traded a standard room on 15 to a suite on 3. I think next time, I'll stick with the higher floor. View on lower floor isn't great, particularly as tram runs by windows.

Restuarants were fantastic, which was nice given that it was easy to stay in after a long day. All and all a nice visit; I would stay here again.
