Very important update! I found out that I "wasn't" staying at NoMad during my last trip but was only using the NoBad elevators to stay on one of the top floors of ParkMGM. Confusing huh?
Well, I "did" stay at NoMad this trip, which I've heard may not be NoMad much longer. It was a much nicer check-in experience this time. The front desk people were SUPER friendly! We joked a little, and she did a great job of setting us up. The hotel was full due to events at the nearby arena and theater, so I was thrilled to be helped quickly and efficiently.
The rooms are unique. Since there are already tons of pictures of the rooms, I took pictures of the more unique features I found. More importantly, I took a screenshot of the all-inclusive, very expensive honor bar. menu. Yikes!! What you pay for convenience.
I loved that they had bathrobes! That's one of my favorite features of any hotel that has them. The beds were super comfy. We stayed in a small suite that had a separate living area from the bedroom. While I love bathrobes, the lack of a regular fridge always irks me.
One quirky thing was that the toilet was in the entrance hallway, and the shower/sink/makeup were off the bedroom. In a way, this was great for two people because one could use the other without bothering the other person.
One thing that was frustrating is that the elevators are not exclusively for NoMad, which is the top three floors. While you didn't have to stop at the lower two-thirds of the hotels, the elevator rides did take longer as you stopped to pick people up on the way. Also, at night, with a completely full hotel, the elevators were very slow, and we ended up passing on one or two cars because they filled up with people, and not everyone was respectful to those who got there before them.
Overall, it was a good experience. The ParkMGM casino is nice, and you can easily walk to New York, New York, or take the tram to Bellagio/Cosmo and stay inside if the weather isn't nice. It's a great location if you want to stay on the strip.
