Stayed here for before July 4th. Echoing what others have said in the thread: besides the location, this hotel sucks. This hotel has no business charging a resort fee. As many others have echoed, besides the drink tickets and 2 comp bottles of water/day, the fee will be useless to most people. Funny the bottled water in the room had a tag on it that said "complimentary"; uh not really I already paid for it in the resort fee . On another note, housekeeping only came if requested. IMAO, for the price point, housekeeping should be automatic. This also means your 2 "comp" bottles of water will not be replenished in room if you do not ask.

I opted for the points instead of breakfast gift because all options were a-la-cart/order off menu. I know that may not have been the best value option but I typically only take the breakfast amenity when a buffet would be an option which this hotel did not offer.

For the price point, folks that are not necessarily loyal to Bonvoy properties, will be better off booking a hotel directly on the strip if they care about location. I think the rooms here are only marginally nicer than a lower tier strip property such as the Flamingo. However, for people loyal to Bonvoy who prefer to be off-strip but still relatively close to the action, this property will basically be the only choice. For me, I will be going back to staying at the tried and true Las Vegas Marriott next time even if it means I have to walk a little farther.

On another note, I booked a rate that included parking and the FDC said he would take care of it. However, when I got my final folio the day after I checked out, I find out I still got billed for parking so I am in the middle of getting that sorted. Shame on me for not double checking the folio while checking out!

That was longer than I thought...getting off the soap box now!
