For what it is, it looks so fly.

IIRC, I stayed in a Marriott Suites many years ago, like maybe 25 years ago, in Las Vegas.

The Las Vegas Marriott did indeed start life as a Marriott Suites and, of course, the rooms are still the same (all suites) despite the name change.

Some or all of the rooms in the top two floors (15th and 16th) had been converted from suites to regular rooms, as of November 2019.

The south-facing rooms have nice views of the Wynn Golf Course.

When did it change? I stayed there in 2003, but I have a feeling it was called Marriott Suites back then, but can't 100% recall.

It had a number of stays in Las Vegas in 2003 for a consulting project I was on. Other than this stay at the Marriott, most of the stays were at hotels on the strip as there was always great deals on room rates that I couldn't fiscally pass up. It was strange staying at the Marriott, as there wasn't any casino to pass through on the way to the parking lot like all the hotels on the strip.

I guess the Suites name lost its appeal?

Maybe the Marriott Suites name was removed when some of the rooms were converted to non-suites. I have no idea what year this was.

This history explains why there is no lounge at the Las Vegas Marriott. Last year (my most recent stay) breakfast was available to Platinum Elites in the restaurant.

What kind of high-end hotel has no lounge?

There are quite a few resort properties that lack lounges.

You’re not wrong about that.

SPN Lifer Sep 22, 2020 2:04 pm

Do any of the few Marriott Suites properties have a lounge?

Most true luxury hotels.

I regularly stay at Scottsdale and Las Vegas (both former Suites hotels) and neither of them have a lounge. That said, they are 2 of my favorite Marriott properties (location, great staff)
