Will take a drive over there when i'm back finishing up my last three, previously-booked vdara stays.

Sigh...

Does not look like anything hyatt. Looks worse than a former amerisuites.

Joke aside, it appears hyatt is using the same strategy hilton has employed with the resorts world property. The product at resorts world is far diluted compared to a typical even us conrad. Compared to an asia conrad that resorts world conrad is many levels lower.

At least these are pretty large rooms but who spends much time in the room in las vegas anyway? I get that rio was suites and that is why it has such big rooms...
