content: 3.5 stars overall for this ?\ni doubt the reviewers here are 4seasons/ ritz carlton type of customers so gimme a break.\nthe pool area here exceeds other strip/off the strip joints.\n7 pools (2 are private/ club affiliated) but the main pool if you will is huge.\nthere are TONS of poolside lounge chaises & even the big kingsize beds are up for grabs if you work it ($200 something rental )\nthere are cocktail waitresses ($10 beer $15+ cocktails) .\nthe sun hides around 5 though which is the only sucky thing.\nour palace tower room (which ,by the way, is the tower closest to the pool. dont listen to anyone else.... palace tower closest to the pools. as soon as your elevator hits the ground casino floor, poof, your in front of the pool entrance.. )\n& speaking of, the palace tower is the 4th nicest tower .  ...\nso,we went on a tues-thurs in early july & each night (including taxes) was around $150\nour room was king size, 2 bathrobes, hot tub, his/her sink, walk in shower, & in a separate room was the toilet.\nthe parking lot,however,is super far from check in desk.\n& our text msg check in didnt work.\nno free wi-fi.\noh, & they charged me alot more than my guaranteed rate (the prob was fixed,but i was panicky while waiting on hold & that was not cute)\nthis is a super hotel if you insist on spending $7 for bottled dasani water  on a strip hotel... or if you feel like splashing/tanning in the best pool on the strip / las vegas.\n& might i conclude, i found a fu%&*# bargain !!\n----- OOOOPS i forgot to mention the best part ..!!\nin the hallway, in front of the (big ) closet, there is a vanity desk w/ a lamp & a light mirror that flips over to magnify like crazy... but the fact that theres a lamp & the vanity mirrror lights up gives you crazy makeup options!  WOMENS DREAM COME TRUE------ the hubby can get shave/ crap in the other room, & we get awesome lighting / tons of space to apply our eyeliner!
