Getting back to the discussion about the property it still is definitely a work in progress. I’m writing this post on my phone as the wifi has been down all day. And there is still no ETA Of when it will be fixed.

When the wifi was working earlier in the week I found that it was constantly logging you out and returning you to the login page every 15-30 minutes which was very annoying. (Even with the same MAC address and not using private network settings).

Wifi speeds are barely acceptable but this is fairly common in older hotels also. 10-15 Mbps up/down.

The TV in the room was down (no channels) all day but the TV is back working tonight.

Perhaps not unlike other properties in Vegas nobody ever answers the phone if you call the front desk from your room. I’ve had the hold music going 30 minutes it’s pointless.

On a more positive note I’m not sure if this has been mentioned but valet parking is free for globalists. I haven’t bothered as I have been using self parking.

Nobody seems to know what the permit parking signs are for in the surface lot or the parking garage. The person at the front desk thought maybe they’re leftover from the previous owners. They haven’t heard of any one being towed or ticketed. However keep in mind there are spots marked and reserved for taxis although not very clearly.

Hours for the VIP check in desk or to get your bottled water are 9am to 730pm.
