content: 3.5* \n\nDATE: Sunday, December 16, 2012 - Tuesday, December 17, 2012\nROOM TYPE: New Grand King\nLENGTH OF STAY: 2 nights\nRATE: $63.20/night after taxes @ http://hotels.com (Resort fee paid for at check-in.)\n\n___________________________________\n\n\nWe booked this hotel the same day we left for Las Vegas and were happy to have found something reasonably priced. Our expectations were rather low since we were used to staying at the newer, nicer hotels in Las Vegas but we were pleasantly surprised by how modern the rooms were and what a nice job they had done with the renovations. Definitely better than other hotels of it's class including the Mirage and the Treasure Island. I'd say the same about the Hard Rock as well but each time I've stayed there, I've been upgraded to the King Suite in the HRH All-Suite Tower.. which is, of course, not a fair comparison.\n\nWe checked in at 2am, so there was no line. The check-out process was easy and the simplified with the availability of a stack of cards next to a check-out box by the elevator.\n\nAs is the case with many of the older casino resorts in Las Vegas, be prepared for a bit of a trek between the self-park lot to the room.
