I've never been to Las Vegas before. So this is completely unbiased on anything Las Vegas. I've sayed at properties around the globe. I've stayed at fantastic hotels. I've stayed at ones that are trash.
I was expecting something amazing but only the employees were. The security guard Jerome was amazing and deserves to be called out for his exemplary service. He is one of the few shining stars in my visit.
Who freakin' designed this place? Whomever it was, they are morons. That's right. 100% complete morons.
You'd expect the casino and hotel to be right next to each other. You know, like within a short walking distance.
Here? Nope. Some idiot said let's put it all under one roof but make the rooms and casino so far from each other that folks will just want to stay in their rooms the whole time. Yeah... they did that.
Let me explain.
Look at the palm of your left hand. That's the casino.
Look at your chest. That's the front desk.
Now for the stupidity. Extend your right arm out as far as it will go. A little bit farther, please. More, please. Okay, that's far enough. It hurts a little to extend it out that far. That's on purpose. Bend the elbow some. Rotate your hand so that you're looking at the back of your hand. You can't see the palm of your right hand but that's where your damned room is. Seriously, that's where your room is.
Once you leave the front desk, you go to your right, walk down a hallway into an elevator to take you to the 10th floor. Once you exit the elevator, you have to badge in with your room card so that a security guard can verify that you are supposed to be in the hotel area. Now the Bataan Death March starts. Holy crap, is this a long walk. I mean really long. Down multiple hallways in a zig-zag pattern. And you finish up at... another elevator! This one takes you from the 10th floor to whatever floor that your hotel room is. And depending on your room number, you could have another extremely long walk.
Like I said, a moron designed this place.
For the rooms, they are not average. They have that fancy setup like a sunken living room. The chairs are the most uncomfortable chairs that I have ever sat in. Wait... there's this one chair at work that's shoved into a corner that no one wants. The beds are oddly uncomfortable to sleep in. I think that the only thing comfortable to use is the sofa. And that's only for sleeping, not for sitting.
Getting to rideshare (Uber/Lyft) is another joke of a walk. Yeah, they'll drop you off in front of the hotel. But if you are going to take one, another walk from Hell. To the right of the main desk is a set of double doors for rideshare. Go through those. Walk down the striped path, hang a left at the back of the parking garage area (nice gray GMC truck BTW), get into an elevator to go up to another floor, walk into a room for rentals, walk out of that room on the far side, walk more, walk a bit more, then you're at the rideshare pickup area.
We actually ran into a couple in the car rental area that were trying to get to their room. That's after seeing them at the front desk. That's how confusing this place is.
Yeah, I'm tired of walking. I haven't even left the damned property yet.
$500 a night for this disaster.
(Nice place though. /sarcasm)
