Hilton Garden Inn Las Vegas Strip South {US-NV}
Some positive news for Hhonors members who have to visit Vegas and ( who claim to, anyway) hate casinos, a new Hilton Garden Inn to open early October. Location at south end of strip just past Mandalay Bay ( I believe).
I like HGIs since they are all new, are predictable and since I only eat breakfast in Hiltons ( have yet to stay in a Hilton anywhere in the world with a more than fair restaurant) generally meets my requirements/expectations.
Personally, I will still continue to stay at Paris.
Now how about an opening date for the new LV Conrad?

This hotel is scheduled to open November 19, 2004. We will be taking online reservations soon. For immediate reservation requests, please contact the hotel directly at 702-453-7830
It seems to be within a short drive from the strip (near Belz outlet). Good to see another option for hotel hopping in Vegas.

Does anyone have a report on this property yet?
I am scheduled to go to LV soon and have both the HGI at $89 and the hilton on points and am not sure which I should choose.
Any opinions there.
I have stayed at the hilton many moons ago and it was a bit far from the strip but I understand that there is a train now.

The Las Vegas monorail closed for a time, but presumably re-opened December 24. A one day pass is US$10, a one ride pass is $3. There is a station at the LV Hilton.
I suspect you will find transport easier from the Hilton to the strip, now that the monorail is back on track, but others who know better may advise differently. (My choice is usually the Embassu Suites "Convention Centre", whic is not AT the centre, but rather within a walk of it.)

Stayed there twice last week. Excellent property. Great breakfast. Was upgraded both times to a Jr. Suite. Manager came out and introduced herself and gave me her card. Would highly recommend. ^

I have Stayed 6 times so far this year. Very nice and I liked the location, near the airport and could go anywhere without having to go down the strip. They do have a shuttle to the strip if you want. You will need a rental car for the most part, a gas station and a couple of restaurants are within walking distance. It is near the freeway ramp. It has a small gym and nice breakfast area. They usually had a small meeting or something their. I was upgraded to a suite 4 of the 6 times and one of those was during Comdex week. Prices can be higher then the Hilton $99 if not sold out versus $129 at the HGI 1- 30 days out.

I think that the two properties aim at different audiences. The HGI is great for me: I don't want to be on the Strip and I don't want to have to deal with the traffic and parkng hassles (or exorbitant cabfare) and I like the fact that the HGI is a brand-new property with very nice upgraded (or regular) rooms with free breakfast and internet. It's also all of 5 minutes from room to airport.
