Comment: Food from Zen Kitchen is mediocre at best, but their desserts are delicious, and I ended up going in the morning and asking if they could serve desserts. The waitress was confused but able to serve the desserts on the regular menu after confirming with the chef. If you are Hilton Gold/Diamond member, you will receive $25 per person (2 people) in addition to the $30 per person. For one night stay, you will get $30*2+$25*2+$125=$235 food credit, which is a lot!

Late Checkout: Used, checked out in the very last minute
Breakfast Credit: Complimentary Buffet for two in the Wicked Spoon
Credits: $100 spa credit was unused because they are fully booked and cannot do spa pass during the holiday season
Comment: The "One Bedroom Suite" is HUGE (>1000 sq.ft), and I cannot even find it on the website (I stayed at 1855 FYI). It is at the end of the hallway in the Cheasla tower, and it combines two city studios into one suite. It could easily fit 4+ people as there is a sofa bed in the living room. Although it says city suite, you have the fountain view from the living room, and the view is excellent! Not sure if my Titanium status from Marriott helps or not, but it is definitely beyond my expectation.

Comment: The suite looks lovely, and you have the freestanding tub in your bedroom, which is very traditional and useful. The weird thing is that although there are two bathrooms, the one in your bedroom does not have a toilet, and you need to go all the way to the foyer to use it in the powder room, very inconvenient during the night time. Also, there is no desk in the suite, and I miss that during my stay. The club in Park MGM had a party going until 2 AM, and I could hear the beat and music. The soundproof is bad, and I guess it was remodeled from the old Monte Carlo, and the old one might not consider that at that time. I think I will stay at NoMad again because I just love the Old World feels.
