Just made a reservation at the SLS for a $33 prepaid rate! Amazing. Lowest price SPG hotel I have ever booked. Its a cat 5 and normally 12,000 points.. +$29 resort fee, so it was $69 in all. Let's see how they treat platinums. Hope I get an upgradE!

Just checked in an hour or so ago. Took the shuttle from the airport. It arrives once an hour on the half hour level Zero, terminal 1. They usually use stall #16. Arrived on time and went straight to the hotel arriving around 15 mins later.
Had my reservation booked before it was available on the Starwood site. They added the number at the front desk and it immediately appeared on the SPG iOS app. Also booked 2 other rooms through Starwood. Booked one room in each Tower since the rates were so cheap. The two rooms I booked through the SPG were upgraded the day before to a Lux Tower Suite. The other room booked directly with SLS was upgraded to a room in the Lux Tower as well by the front desk at check in.
Was given a choice of continental breakfast or 500 points. Also got 2 drink coupons for each room (though I declined some as I wasn't going to use them.). You can use the drink coupons to get any drink at Perq or use them in the bar for alcoholic drinks. They had the breakfast coupons on hand.
Had a $50 credit for the Cyber Monday deal for the room booked through SLS. Ate at Cleo and had the watermelon salad, Brussel sprouts (which they are known for), and the kale flat bread. All were very good.
The lux suites are nice. I took a few pics. Will take a few in the morning when it is a bit brighter.
So far everything has gone smoothly and has been much better than expected.

Breakfast is a big croissant, fresh fruit, yoghurt parfait, juice, coffee/tea. Just hand over the card and you don't need to sign anything. The servers had no problem dealing with the SPG breakfast coupons.

Thanks for the info.
We reserved in the World Tower, I thought the toxic yellow tile in the Story Tower looked just awful, and we didn't want to spring for the Lux Tower.
Doubt we'll get an upgrade since we're not Plat but that's ok.

The shuttle on the way to the airport stops at Planet Hollywood, so if you want to go to the central part of the strip during the day, this is a free option. It leaves every hour on the hour. The drop off at the airport is at each individual airline/terminal.
The Monorail stop is next to the Lux Tower entrance.

How interesting...I wonder why PH, they usually like to shuttle between their own properties, so I would have thought the Westin. SPG did have PH many years ago I recall.
I was looking at a property map and it seems all the Towers are clustered together in one area rather than anchoring the property. The monorail does look like a good option if you don't want to just be stuck there, but the monorail is expensive for what it is.
I can't wait to see it for myself, I'm sure it's unrecognizable from the old Sahara.

$33.00 - - - Please share where you booked that from? That is a great rate even though the location sucks but I just might stay there if I could find a rate like that. These resort fees drive me nutz - just put it in the price already. Geez the resort fee is as much as the nightly rate, albeit still cheap but it's the principle that's killing me

That being said, you can't run a property that really aspires to be in the Mirage/Mandalay Bay middle-upper range in Vegas with substandard rooms (compared to those properties) and rock bottom prices forever, at some point someone is going to get tired of setting millions on fire every quarter like SLS LV has so far. I am not sure rebranding Lux Tower as a W fixes that- most of the rooms on the property are just not that nice when compared to a lot of other Vegas Strip properties in middle-upper or upper tier. It's a great value for a $70/night all in, as a Strip property that's got good Monorail connectivity, has been refurbished recently enough to not be a dump, and has good restaurants on site, but you can't run a Mirage-level property on Hooters room rates. Something has to give.
