Would highly recommend staying at the Meridian
Just got back from 3 night stay. Upgraded from studio to 2 bedroom suite when we arrived. Provided early check-in (11am) and late check-out (3pm). Rooms were huge, clean, and comfortably decorated. Highly recommend requesting building 1 which has its own pool. Having the gates to the hotel and keys to specific buildings was really nice. Hotel was quiet and not having to walk thru a smokey casino was great! Had an issue with hot water heater when we arrived. Someone was there and fixed it within 15 minutes (power-outage had shut off the hot water heater). Great concierge and front desk. Everything we asked for was accomodated. Even had the option of having them bring in groceries. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Las Vegas!

We stayed at the Meridian for my husband's 35th birthday. All I can say about this place is that it was so boring. If you're looking for the fun and glamour of Las Vegas, stay somewhere else. The property looks like it was a timeshare with multiple buildings and converted one building to a hotel. The rooms were nice, but getting to them felt so isolated and weird, with your rolling suitcases echoing through the desolate parking lot.

Normally, when I arrive in Las Vegas, I'm excited for a great time, and arriving to your hotel with a big lobby and beautiful decor always adds to that excitement. My excitement fizzled when I arrived tiny check-in with florescent lights and messy workstations. My distasteful initial reaction actually affected the rest of my trip. The pool accomodations were limited, with no place to buy refreshments, I felt like I was hanging out at my Grandparent's retirement community. Getting a cab was also horrendous, as we discovered from speaking to our cab driver later, that a lot of companies won't go there anymore because the employees have angered them with ordering a cab, then hailing one from the street and leaving the called cab with no fare.

This would be a good place for retired couples who want some quiet or people with families who aren't interested in the fun of Vegas and need a quiet vacation. Don't go here if you're looking for a good time.

This appears to be a decent place for an extended stay but it was a bad fit for my short business trip. My first clue shouldve been the TREK across the grounds with my 2 bags in 106 degree heat. (This was after I lugged the bags up and down the stairs leading to the office - no ramp.) Yes, the properties are spread out but you would think that they could take guests with baggage to their rooms via golfcart. Instead they just hand you a map.
In the suites there are no books explaining services or local attractions. There IS one laminated piece of paper that states the rules and a room service menu. The menu had an 800#. When I called, I was connected with a 3rd party operator who connected me to the front desk. I ordered a small pizza and was told that I could pay with a credit card. When the pizza showed up 45 minutes later (from a local business - not the hotel) it was cash only. I also had a really hard time finding the ironing board, etc. It was just a "miss" for me - I mean, there was no sugar for coffee yet they had every spice imaginable in the spice rack...too much of a hassle.

As many of the reviews indicate, this is a very quiet -- yet close to the Strip -- hotel with huge accommodations. We had a two-bedroom, two-bath suite. It was clean when we arrived and was cleaned by housekeeping after the first night. As also reported, the kitchen is spectacular. The fitness facility is terrific. However, service is non-existent. When you check in, they don't know whether you have paid in advance (via Hotwire or hotels.com, for example) and thus give you a rate which makes no sense. Second, expect no service from the front desk. In our unit, there was no internet modem. While there were several possible wireless connections, none were connected with the hotel so they were useless. We asked the first night about the lack of a modem and were told maintenance would bring it over. The next morning at 10 I asked again as we left for the day. When we returned at 3, no modem -- but "maintenance will be right over." At 5, still nothing and no word. After another visit to the front desk, they confessed that maintenance had ordered a modem but it "hadn't arrived." That's very lame. When I checked out, they offered a $20 credit -- but reneged on that when they realized I had paid in advance. When I asked for the name of the general manager so I could write a note about this, the front-desk clerk didn't know her last name. Very frustrating for such a promising property.
