Star rating

The hotel

Boasting some of Las Vegas’ finest rooms and suites after a $380 million dollar transformation, it’s easy to understand why. The accommodation is divided between four majestic towers with wonderful views of the Las Vegas Strip, the Spring Mountains and the hotel’s incredible pool. Then there's the Tank, as the swimming complex is known, comes complete with a shark tank, 3-storey waterslide and 13 private cabanas for hire. There’s also an infinity pool, aptly named The Hideout, which is strictly for adults only. Other temptations include a superb spa with steam rooms, sauna, massage and beauty treatments plus a state-of-the-art fitness centre to work off those American-sized portions! Several restaurants are at your disposal, including Vic and Anthony’s, one of the country’s finest steakhouses. Alternatively, head to Chart House for sumptuous seafood, Red for Pan-Asian cuisine or Grotto for Italian fare. Come sundown, Troy Liquor Bar is the place to be with a lively atmosphere, DJs and exotic cocktails. An incredible hotel with an incredible range of amenities, look out in particular for the Hand of Faith in the lobby - a 61-pound gold nugget found in Australia in 1980 with a metal detector just six inches below ground – now that’s Lady Luck at her finest!

Had a good time. Good selection of restaurants and enjoyed the meals and proximity to the street experience. Room was a little disappointing as it showed some wear. Kuerig coffee machine did not work. Room was not cleaned or resupplied with the promised water and coffee as listed in their promotions.

We stayed at this hotel for a trip where my son was proposing to his girlfriend of 4 years. Her parents and two sister came to surprise her at the proposal. Also, another couple we are friends with came. While there we rented a cabana one day, the pool side party pit and cabana another day and the poolside party pit in the final day. When booking all of these rooms and cabana’s we were unaware that the hotel had entered into an agreement with an outside media company to film a show at the resort. On our last evening there, my soon to be daughter in law had a medical incident that caused her to pass out twice. The scummy camera crew thought it was appropriate to try to film the whole incident to use for their show. Several people from our group asked them repeatedly to not film her and tried to block their view. The “security” and night manager at the hotel told us that they had a right to film and that we shouldn’t have any expectations of privacy. While I understand we don’t have a right to privacy in a casino, we very much have a right to decency at a hotel that we paid thousands of dollars. After the incident, my husband and my soon to be daughter in law’s father both asked to speak to management. They were both brushed off by people that told them it was above their pay grade. I hope this reaches whoever’s pay grade it is at and they reconsider having this camera crew in the hotel. It’s not right to have people filming young girls having a medical episode, especially after her family has asked them to stop. Read less

I had a horrific experience at this property. The room was infested with bugs they were everywhere: on the walls, the floor, and even crawling in the bed sheets. To make matters worse, the room was filthy; the bathroom hadn't been cleaned, and the trash cans were still full from the previous guest. The phone only worked on speaker and was filthy.… Read more
I had a horrific experience at this property. The room was infested with bugs they were everywhere: on the walls, the floor, and even crawling in the bed sheets. To make matters worse, the room was filthy; the bathroom hadn't been cleaned, and the trash cans were still full from the previous guest. The phone only worked on speaker and was filthy. The refrigerator had a strong sour odor, the outlets didn’t work only one for tv. The staff was incredibly rude and unhelpful when addressed. Between the lack of hygiene and the heavy smoke, it was a miserable stay. Save your money and go elsewhere. Read less
