The Venetian® Resort Las Vegas
Staying at The Venetian Resort Las Vegas was an absolute delight. The room was freshly renovated—spacious, clean, and incredibly comfortable. I stayed in a room layout similar to the one in Macau, featuring a sunken living area that provided a cozy, private space perfect for kids to play. One of the highlights? The view from the window directly onto Sphere—it’s stunning, especially at night when the lights come on. Plus, the resort’s grand lobby is just steps away, making it super easy to walk over without needing to go outside. It’s also only a short five-minute stroll to Bellagio’s famous fountains. Everything is so well-connected and convenient. From the ambiance to the service, every detail felt premium. This place truly delivers value and experience. I’d definitely return and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Las Vegas.
Las Vegas Hilton at Resorts World
I was surprised there was no bathtub, but overall the stay was still great. The pool is huge—perfect for lounging or swimming—and it’s a real highlight. Just keep in mind it closes at 6 PM, so plan your visit accordingly. Located right next to LV Street, getting around via shuttle is hassle-free, and public transit access is convenient too. The giant ball in the lobby is such a fun detail—it’s quirky and Instagram-worthy. Even better? They have a Lady M café on-site! It’s been ages since I last had one, and wow, still as delicious as ever—had to laugh at how good it tasted. A solid choice if you're looking for comfort, convenience, and a little sweet treat.
Club Wyndham Grand Desert
While the hotel is a bit further from the Strip, the facilities more than make up for it. I was really impressed with the room's kitchenette—fully equipped and perfect for preparing meals on-site. The overall comfort and cleanliness were excellent, and the quiet neighborhood made for a relaxing stay. It’s easy to get to the Strip via public transit, and I’d definitely come back if I ever visit Vegas again. A great value choice for travelers who want convenience without the premium price.
Club Wyndham Desert Blue
Staying at Club Wyndham Desert Blue in Las Vegas was a fantastic experience overall. The location is super convenient—just a short walk from the Strip, and everything you’d want for dining and nightlife is nearby. The room was clean, spacious, and very comfortable, with a great view of the desert landscape. I loved the outdoor pool and fitness center, which added to the relaxing vibe. Staff were friendly and helpful from check-in onward—always ready to assist with any request. The amenities are well-maintained and thoughtfully designed. It’s rare to find such a peaceful retreat so close to all the action. For the price, this hotel offers excellent value. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending it to friends and family.
Polo Towers by Raintree
Everything was perfect and exactly as expected. It’s a small studio, so the decor is a bit dated and the bed is foldable—but for four nights, it worked out great. The kitchenette was a real plus, letting us cook our own meals and save money. We even brought a small toaster—maybe the platform left one behind? Cleanliness and staff service were excellent, and access to the pool area was convenient with well-maintained facilities. The only minor downside was some construction noise in the mornings, which might be noticeable if you’re sensitive to sound. Also, walking back through the corridor late at night from the strip can feel a little eerie with just one staff member on duty, though the lighting was decent overall. Still, it’s a solid choice for travelers who value comfort, convenience, and good value.
Lucky Gem Penthouse Suites at Signature
Staying at the Signature penthouse suite was an absolute delight. Located in a luxurious high-rise building, the convenience of valet parking and unlimited access to the massive MGM pool made the experience truly special. The spacious apartment offered a relaxing atmosphere with a Jacuzzi in the bathroom—perfect for unwinding after a long day. However, one minor issue stood out: the right double sink was completely covered in ash, as if someone had emptied an ashtray into it—quite surprising and not ideal. Also, the kitchen seemed untouched, lacking basic essentials like salt, pepper, or even a drying towel. It would be great if these small items were stocked for guests. Despite these small hiccups, the overall location, view, and amenities more than make up for it. A fantastic choice for a luxury stay in Las Vegas.
NOBU Las Vegas – A Caesars Rewards Destination
The location is absolutely perfect—just a short walk from the Strip and minutes away from major attractions like The Venetian and Paris Las Vegas. Everything you need is right outside the door: great restaurants, shops, and entertainment. It's incredibly convenient without sacrificing comfort or style. I'd definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Las Vegas.
Collection 6 Las Vegas, NV - Tropicana
The location is absolutely perfect—just a short walk from the Strip and incredibly convenient for getting to the airport. I took the train directly to the airport without any transfers, which saved me so much time and hassle. The hotel is clean, well-maintained, and staff are friendly and helpful. It’s hard to believe such a great value place exists in Las Vegas. I’ll definitely be returning here on my next trip.
Jet Luxury at the Vdara
Staying at Jet Luxury at the Vdara was an absolute delight from start to finish. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from the heart of the Strip, with everything from casinos and dining to shopping within easy reach. We booked a corner suite, and it lived up to every expectation: spacious, well-lit, and with panoramic views of the city skyline that were especially stunning at night. What really stood out? The hotel welcomes pets without any restrictions—my dog was more than welcome, and he loved every minute of it. The place is clean, modern, and staff go the extra mile to make you feel at home. For a luxury experience in Las Vegas with such convenience and pet-friendly flexibility, this is a top-tier choice. I’d come back in a heartbeat.
SpringHill Suites Las Vegas Airport
We arrived late at night, right around midnight, and the front desk staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Even though parking usually comes with a fee, we were given free parking—still not sure if it was included in our booking or just a nice surprise because of the late arrival, but we appreciated it! The hotel itself was spotless and well-maintained. Breakfast service was another highlight—the server was an Asian lady with a warm smile and super attentive, making our morning much more enjoyable. The price was very reasonable too, and overall, this place offered great value for money. Definitely a solid choice for travelers landing in Las Vegas, especially when you're tired and need a stress-free start to your trip.
Arizona Charlie's Decatur
My stay at Arizona Charlie's Decatur was absolutely fantastic! The hotel was spotless and the rooms were incredibly comfortable, making it easy to unwind after a long day exploring Las Vegas. I really appreciated how close it was to parking—no need to walk far or worry about finding a spot. The location is convenient for getting around town, and everything felt well-maintained and welcoming. It’s a great value for the price, and I’d definitely book here again if I’m back in Las Vegas. Highly recommend for travelers who want comfort, cleanliness, and a stress-free experience.
Hilton Garden Inn Las Vegas City Center
Staying at the Hilton Garden Inn Las Vegas City Center was a solid choice for me. The hotel is just across a major street from the Strip, so walking over is possible—though it means passing through several other hotels, which makes it less direct than expected. We arrived by car initially, but parking proved difficult and expensive, so we switched to Uber for short trips—around $10–$15 per ride, which felt reasonable. Breakfast was decent with a good mix of hot and cold options, enough to fuel a full day. The only downside was the paid parking, but considering the central location and overall value, it’s still a great option for travelers who want convenience without breaking the bank.
