    Overall, we had a fantastic week in Las Vegas, and I want to start by saying there were many positives about our stay. The casino staff were friendly, the food and beverage offerings were enjoyable, and we truly had a great vacation. We stayed in the Royal Tower and fully understood we were booking one of the older sections of the hotel. I have over 15 years of experience in the hospitality industry, including with Marriott and Hilton, so I know the challenges that come with maintaining older properties. My concerns are not about outdated décor--they're about maintenance, cleanliness, and guest safety. Unfortunately, our room had several issues: * The secondary security lock on the door was broken. * The bedside reading light was broken, with exposed metal and wiring. * There were numerous black scuff marks throughout the walls. * We found bindis left behind from a previous guest on the desk, wall, and shower, making it appear the room had not been thoroughly cleaned. * The air conditioning only seemed to work when set to 68°F, and the room had a constant damp, swampy smell. * One dresser drawer was jammed shut and unusable. * Most concerning, we encountered cockroaches in the room on two separate occasions. I have an allergy to cockroaches, and during our stay I experienced hives and skin irritation. After spending long days enjoying Las Vegas, it was disappointing that we dreaded returning to the room because of its condition. I don't fault the front-line employees--they were consistently kind, professional, and helpful throughout our stay. My concern is with the condition of the room itself. Regardless of whether a guest books an older tower or a newly renovated room, everyone should expect a clean, safe, and properly maintained environment. I shared these concerns directly with the hotel after my stay but never received a response, which is disappointing. I hope this feedback encourages the property to address these maintenance and housekeeping issues because the staff and many other aspects of the resort made for an otherwise enjoyable trip.

    We had the best time and felt like royalty in this nice room for a tenth of the price of the other major strip properties. Josh the hotel manager treated us with so much hospitality that we will be coming back here instead of the Wynn. The rooms were super stylish and romantic best time ever.

    Excalibur feels like stepping into a childhood storybook. Turrets, bright colors, and castle walls evoke something almost theme-park-like. Being one of the older hotels on the Las Vegas strip, it focuses on fun and fantasy. Families, casual energy, and an approachable atmosphere give it a different role on the Strip. You will be transported to a diffferent space in time.

    I recently visited the Excalibur Hotel and Casino and I can see why this is still a budget friendly option that's located right on the Strip. Very large property with lots ot see. Unfortunately it isn't maintained as well as I remember back in the early 2000s. Restrooms are also not clean. Missing toilet seat covers and toile paper. There were many people checking in and I can tell that the staff was trying to keep their cool with the influx of customers. Parking is available on-site, but it's not free anymore. There is paid self-parking and valet, with in-and-out privileges once you pay, which is convenient if you plan to move around the Strip. As for the casino areas, it is not fully non-smoking. Like most Vegas casinos, smoking is allowed in designated areas, so you may notice cigarette smoke while walking through the gaming floor. I am hoping one day it will be completely non smoking as it is hard walking around the casino and trying not to get 2nd hand smoke. And even harder when I bring kids along. There are some must see events at this hotel that I recommend: 1. Tournament of Kings: This is the most iconic experience at Excalibur--a live medieval dinner show with knights, horses, jousting, and pyrotechnics. You eat with your hands while watching the show, which makes it super interactive and fun. Quite fun if you are bringing kids. 2. Fun Dungeon Arcade: Lots of games located at this arcade. Definitely fun with kids and it is casual and entertaining. 3. 4D rides and attractions: I saw the signs about this immersive 4D experience but didn't have time to try it out. Next time for sure!

    Surprisingly a solid option when needing a room on the strip. My friend booked a room for Wrestlemania from Thursday to Monday. The room was clean and had just enough space for two adults. The air conditioning was on point and the TV was a good size. Definitely a place to shower and rest to get back out where all the action is. Though considered a large resort, I found it very convenient to get in and out of. We had a room on the second floor and didn't have a view at all aside from a wall and what appeared to be a forgotten ladder. Fine for me we just kept the curtains closed. There was a desk which was perfect for us to leave our things and a few bottles on. The dresser had room for what might have been a fridge but we didn't use it. The bathroom was clean but dated. The shower door actually didn't close all the way. No biggie for me though. Inside the shower, there were two dispensers of shampoo! No soap, shampoo! I made it work. So my only hair is as smooth and shiny as the hair on my head. Lol The toilet was super low to the ground and flushed on its own. I had to jimmy it to make it stop. Initially I thought the room was haunted. I didn't spend too much time in the room but if I had to I would. The bed was comfy and had three fluffy pillows. Quality you wouldn't expect. Did not dine at the buffet or fancier restaurants but did have Krispy Kreme and Johnny Rockets. Solid but the latter being extremely pricey. If I needed a place to stay and didn't have comps, I wouldn't mind staying here. Location, price and service. Everyone that I interacted with that worked at the property was friendly and welcoming. This time around I did not use the gym or pool but both are solid and available. Be back again soon. Excalibur - an oldie but goodie after some really good renovations.

    Besides the cool medieval castle structure on the outside, there wasn't too much special I thought of Excalibur to be honest. It was tough just finding a seat here inside sometimes, and not because it was crowded.

    Where to begin? I've stayed at most of the big name Vegas hotels over the past several decades and I've seen a few of them torn down for less. The once mighty Excalibur is now a shadow of its former self. If you're misguided enough to spend money to stay there, be prepared for filth and dysfunction and nearly every turn. The rooms are grotesque. The "digital" check in and keycard system is broken. Room service includes zero service. And whatever you do, do NOT flush the toilet! It doesn't matter if it's a number 1 or 2, that sucker is going to make your bathroom floor into a slightly cleaner version of the Excalibur swimming pool. I asked for a full refund and actually got it. The staff knows what's up. If this dump is still standing by 2028 i'll be shocked.

    For a cheap hotel on the Strip (we only paid $70 for the night), it mostly met our expectations. The giant castle was fun to look at. The rooms were dingy and outdated, which was fine. The wait time to get a room was frustrating though. They have kiosks for self check-in, which made us think the process would be very efficient. However, we waited at least 20 minutes after we checked in for a room to actually be assigned to us via text. This was very frustrating as it was very late at night, so the rooms should have been ready by then. It was crowded with nowhere to sit, so we sat on the floor waiting. Even though I had booked a room with one king bed, we discovered the room had two queen beds. Parking, as is the same for most hotels nearby, was $20 per day on weekdays.

    I've been a House Seats member for about a year on a 2-year membership, and it's been a solid value. I've seen 2-3 shows and the membership more than pays for itself. The shows are fun and entertaining, a great way to enjoy Las Vegas entertainment without breaking the bank. Most recently, we went to see the Australian Bee Gees tribute show at Excalibur, and the show itself was fun. However, what really left a bad taste was Excalibur's decision to charge a flat $30 for parking simply because the Golden Knights were playing at T-Mobile Arena that night. Here's the thing, we weren't going to T-Mobile. We were locals coming to Excalibur for a show provided through House Seats membership. Because of the membership deal, we were there to be customers potentially dining, gambling, and spending money at their hotel after the show. Instead, Excalibur and several other hotels in the proximity of T-Mobile have figured out that they can cash in on event nights by charging everyone a flat $30 parking rate, regardless of where those people are actually headed. Yes, they may be making extra money on parking but they're losing far more in the long run. Because of that unexpected charge, we made the decision to leave right after the show and take our dining and gambling dollars to South Point instead, where we had a great time spending money we had originally planned to leave at Excalibur. If Excalibur thinks they're winning by squeezing locals for parking, they're not seeing the bigger picture. The business they lose from frustrated customers, people who came for shows, dinner, and gambling, far outweighs whatever they're collecting at the parking booth. As a local, I'll now be reconsidering any hotel within proximity of T-Mobile on event nights. There are plenty of other options on the Las Vegas Strip and beyond that actually value the business locals bring. House Seats, still worth it 3 stars. Excalibur, do better, for now you lost my business.

    The Excalibur will always have a soft spot in my heart! When we were young and broke this is where we would stay in Vegas. I even got married many moons ago here... But today we came to tiki and play! The new tiki bar is a sight to be seen and tasty drinks. Spacious and decorated to be exotic. Plenty of fruity concoctions and frozen drinks. But the music is nit ehat one would expectbat a tiki bat but beaides that we enjoyed the tiki. The game table minimums were right on par for our Excalibur expectations ($10 roulette at 4pm on a Friday afternoon.) The employees were all nice and friendly. Nothing for new card members (come on Excalibur!) Overall we always have fun at the castle!

    Excalibur is a decent place; I came here to frolic in the casino area with my friends because apparently it's less smoky than other casino lobbies. I think that was probably true to some degree, but there were still plenty of people smoking (I'm very sensitive to it/it makes me sick). The waitresses in the lobby area were really friendly though! I appreciated how hard they work. I've never stayed in the hotel rooms here but I'm told they're fairly spacious and that on the whole, this hotel is a little more kid friendly than most others. That generally also seemed true; I heard some folks doing karaoke in a place near the lobby, and saw a decent number of families with small kids going through the area.

    Kiosks to check yourself in. No human interaction anymore (except the 3 ladies pointing for you to go to the kiosks).
    Faye A.

    Excalibur was way more magical in my childhood memory.... pretty sure 'kid-me' stayed at a completely different hotel!!! These days, there's zero human interaction at check-in... unless you count the three staff members whose only job seems to be pointing at the kiosks you're already standing in front of. You check yourself in, then immediately go to another kiosk to make your own room keys, bc apparently that's a separate life skill now (being your own front desk clerk). Pro tip: Pay the $20/day flat fee for your vehicle and it connects to your room (your room key doubles as your parking pass and you scan it to get in/out of the parking area). *If not, you will be paying $20 every time you go in and out the gates. You're welcome!! Let's talk about the dogs.... We picked Excalibur bc it's dog-friendly..... great news for your inner Disney princess and Toto. Unfortunately, the south side entrance looks more like a biohazard zone. The turf and sidewalks are generously decorated w dog poop, courtesy of guests who apparently believe poop is a natural landscaping feature. They don't provide the doggy poop bags but I don't think this matters since guests allow their dogs to poop everywhere without picking it up (mind boggling!!). The hallways feel like actual medieval dungeons.... dark, dim, and mildly concerning, while the interior clearly needs a glow-up. That said, the rooms are surprisingly spacious, the bathrooms are huge, beds & room couch were comfy. Housekeeping does a great job tidying up. For the value and location (south of the strip) I would return.

    Great stay!!!!

    My stay at Excalibur Hotel was quite exceptional! We ubered here from the airport. Based off my last experience of staying here, I really wanted to come back! Checking in was a little confusing. At this hotel, they want you to check in at the kiosk. After you check in at the kiosk, you wait up to 10 minutes to receive a text or email so you can get a QR code and go to a different area to activate your room keys. There is always someone that works for the hotel to help. I never received that text/email so I am glad they were there to help! With the help of that same person, she directed us to the side of the hotel we were on. We got into the gorgeous clean room, put our stuff down and went to P-A-R-T-Y!!!! We visited Dick's. It's located within the casino of Excalibur. I consider it a must go if you can handle insults and crude humor. We did more, too, but that's for the next Yelp Review. When we got back to our room, our beds were so comfortable! 3 pillows each, nice tight made bed, great view overlooking some of the strip. The showers had great pressure (you don't need a pic of the bathroom, do you?!) We had plenty to do in this hotel & casino! Gambling, food, and even shopping.... because, MAMMA GOT HERSELF A NEW PURSE with her WINNINGS!!!! Just remember... YOU'VE GOT TO PLAY BIG, TO WIN BIG!!!!

    Just as an FYI none of the strip hotels have a free airport shuttle.

    In Vegas where do they have the best pastrami sandwich?

    It was closed last month when I was there.

    Has anyone had bed bug issues recently?

    Is it necessary to buy the chairs/daybeds or are there plenty of seats available?

    When I was there (June 2021) there were plenty of seats available although the ones with any sort of shade were highly coveted.

    How is the lobby bar here? Good cocktails?

    They're decent Cocktails are mostly an even mix of alcohol and mixer base. If you tip them at least $1, especially the servers going around the entire casino floor asking guests if they'd like to order a drink, you get proportionately more booze… 

    Do they have free parking at excalibur?

    Yes, there is free parking for the majority of the casinos on the strip. There are a few that charge such as Bally's and a few others, but if you are staying, eating, or gambling extensively you are pretty much guaranteed to be comped for your…

    No. Just some of the more expensive suites. Just ask to be upgraded for a little bit more.

    Is there anyway to get free parking or anywhere near by?

    I'm fairly certain that all parking is free right now because of the Covid situation. In the event that I am wrong you can get free parking with the MLife players club card. You must be at the pearl level, which can be obtained by applying for their… 

    Do the rooms have a coffee maker?

    They will let you rent one, but it's cheaper to just buy your own especially if you'll be there more than one or two nights.

    What is the height restriction in the parking garage? Is there an outdoor parking area for oversized vehicles?

    There's plenty of outdoor parking. I did not use garage parking.

    Anyone has any issues about the bedbugs recently?

    Hi, no issues when we stayed the weekend of November 16th. But we stayed in one of their "renovated" rooms (# 8212).

    I have heard so many good things about the Cosmo and finally got to stay here!…read more We were able to get a fountain view room and it's definitely worth the upgrade if you make the swing for it. Service was fairly friendly and the room was nice. The property has a lot of amenities for both fine dining and more affordable options with the infamous Block 16 for food area. I will say it's a good place to stay if you want to be in all the action of the strip and it also a chique lively atmosphere. But if want a more laid back experience you may want to stay more on the north/south end of the strip or something like Vdara.

    Unsafe balconies beware…read more Per security direct quote: "this happens at least once every three months". My experience at this hotel was extremely concerning because of a serious safety issue with the balcony door. I stepped onto the balcony, and when the door closed behind me, it locked, leaving me trapped outside. It was approximately 110°F. Fortunately, I had my phone with me and was able to call for help. Had I not had my phone, this could have become a dangerous situation very quickly. When I reported the issue to the manager, rather than showing concern, she was condescending and made me feel as though I had somehow caused the problem. I specifically told her that I did not believe another guest should be placed in that room until the balcony door was repaired because it was unsafe. I had paid extra for a room with a balcony, yet I could not safely use it for the remainder of my stay. Because I was traveling for work and had a very demanding schedule, changing rooms at the last minute was also extremely difficult. I just chose not to use the balcony anymorez What bothered me even more was being told that if I filed a formal safety report, they would not be able to refund the additional amount I had paid for the balcony. That placed me in an unacceptable ethical position: either report a legitimate safety hazard so another guest would not be placed at risk, or remain silent in order to receive a refund. Of course, I chose to report the safety issue. After considerable discussion, I was eventually refunded approximately $130 related to the balcony charge. However, the way the situation was handled--particularly the manager's dismissive and condescending attitude--was unacceptable. I would not stay at this hotel again. Even if my work required travel to the same area, I would choose another property.

    First stay at The Venetian -- and definitely not our last…read more This was our first time staying at The Venetian, and overall, we had a really great experience. We were in Las Vegas for a concert at the Sphere, and one of the main reasons we chose to stay here was the convenience. Being able to walk through the resort and get around without relying on Ubers was a huge plus, especially on a busy concert night. Check-in was smooth, the staff we encountered were friendly and welcoming, and our room was clean, comfortable, and spacious. We were also upgraded, which was a very nice surprise. The highlight had to be the view of the Sphere from our room -- absolutely perfect for the concert we were attending. The Venetian is an experience in itself. The resort is massive, beautifully designed, and there's plenty to explore without even having to leave the property. For us, the ability to walk around, grab something to eat or drink, explore the resort, and head to the Sphere without worrying about transportation made the stay that much more enjoyable. We typically stay at MGM properties when we're in Vegas, so trying The Venetian was a change of pace for us. Based on this first experience, I'm glad we gave it a shot. Friendly staff, clean rooms, unexpected upgrade, an incredible Sphere view, and an extremely convenient location for a concert. We'll definitely be back. The Venetian has officially earned another Vegas stay from us.

The best part is it is walking distance to the Sphere, so if you're going to a show at the Sphere, staying here is ideal as it's conveniently located to it.

    This is the first time staying here and I am really pleased!…read more The staff at check in and valet are super friendly! The lobby is gorgeous. Lots of Raiders memorabilia. ( I'm a fan....so ) but wait!... the scent as you walk in, very slightly there, and I can't even name it, but it's PERFECT. We got a room facing the strip for the night lights, however the sunrise was the real show stopper. There are some really comfy chairs to sit right at the floor to ceiling window to take it all in ... or you can see it from the comfort of your bed. What was missing was a coffee maker and robes in the room. I like to have a cup when I wake up. We are not big gamblers, more people watchers, so we walked through the casino. I did not notice one cocktail waitress on the floor. Is this a new thing? A few ( and only a few) people had drinks. The bathroom is spacious and has all the things!!! I love a tub in a hotel and this tub is the perfect size and angle to lay your head back for the ultimate soak. There is a tv screen in the mirror for your morning news or music videos.... Or a window shade that can go up or down for privacy or to look directly through the room out to that view I mentioned. Ahhh. If you come, be sure to visit baby cakes ( they're in house sweets shop- conveniently located on your way to the elevators ) for gelato or ultimate baked deliciousness or coffee drinks omg it's dangerous.... Overall, a lovely hotel off the strip ( but close enough) at a great price. We will return!

    I went to M for a concert and was greatly disappointed in the whole experience…read more I understand that M is not entirely responsible for every aspect of the concert experience but there are a few things worth mentioning. I'll start with the parking and the way traffic was directed. For this specific concert it was very confusing, and the lack of signage did not help. Getting out of the parking garage was the most difficult and it took about 30 minutes. Also, when the concert was announced online, there was no mention that it would be held at the pool. So this concert was held by the pool in 107° weather and it was not fun at all. I could be wrong about this, but the band only played 1 hour 20 minutes and I think it's because it was so darn hot. And I was not happy about this at all. If I was overheating being in the audience, I can't even imagine how much hotter it was up on stage with the lights, smoke, leather pants... lol. So in the future, if there is a concert held at the M I would make sure to research and make sure that it's not at the pool in summer. So basically, I paid $175 per ticket to go see a band at the pool totally not worth it especially since they only played less than two hours. For those who wanna know I saw Stone Temple Pilots and unfortunately it was not worth my time or money. After this experience, not only will I probably never go to the M resort to see a concert, but I also will never again go and see Stone Temple Pilots. If you're gonna pay almost $200 per ticket and spend three hours of your time preparing and driving there you gotta at least give me two hours of your time for it to be worth what you're charging. The other thing I want to mention is the security guards and customer service staff weren't very efficient in crowd control. People were just gathering right in front of us who paid $175 for their tickets and it took about 30 minutes to get all these clowns out of the way so the rest of us could enjoy the concert. In my personal opinion this might've been one of the worst concerts I've ever been to and it really left a bad taste in my mouth concerning STP. Sadly I believe STP died the day the original front man died. RIP Scott Weiland. You are greatly missed.

    We're BILT members. My husband vaguely remembered we had VIP access. I asked at the concierge and…read morethey assured me we did not have it. But we looked it up later and we did. So it's kinda weird the concierge is not completely knowledgeable, but maybe it's unfair for me to expect them to know my own details. It's not like there are other BILT members out there or anything. I think we missed out on some "freebies" and feeling VIP or whatever. Regardless, Cherry, who checked us in, did a very good job at recommending places and explaining everything for our stay with our perks; and there was a lot of explaining. When I looked back, there was a line of 20 people. I watched some Youtube reviews on Fontainebleu and there was a perfume smell...to help mask the cigarette smell. The roses were real, which was nice. Some parts of the hotel were already falling apart/broken. I was hoping for the smell of fresh air...which is why I stayed in a Las Vegas casino. I liked the hallway to our room...it got more narrow towards the end. The room itself was O.K. One room had a tray for your keys and the other didn't. The view from one room was of a dirt patch. The upgraded room had the view of the A/C units. Can they at least decorate the roof top with artwork or something? My favorite part of the hotel room was the bathtub. I basically took multiple baths a day. I went to MGM and got scented bubble bath salts. There are a lot of restaurants that are mostly $$$-$$$$. Miami Slice was good - we kept our leftovers in the fridge and it actually tasted good cold. Chez Bon Bon was my go-to place for interesting crafted coffees (lots of lavender choices for a lavender-lover) and a box of pastries with nice presentation for gifts. The workers were also very friendly. La Cote was also pretty good - I loved the watermelon salad and our server, Joey, gave lots of good suggestions and made interesting conversation. The pools at Fontainebleu were rated highly by Youtubers. I can't say they are my favorite. We went at the end of August and the heat was so intense. I think the glass windows of the hotel reflect back down onto the pool area. The pools aren't deep, which I guess is good for kids, but this isn't really the family-oriented hotel. So on Saturday afternoon, the pool area was full of people standing in the pool with the water at waist level. I guess this is what people like to do at pools - stand in it. Who swims these days? The pool is so shallow and they have 4 life guards sitting there. Watching you stand. The workers at the hotel were all mostly friendly when you approach them. But a lot of the staff kind of just do their own thing. It's been a while since I've been to Vegas, but it's kind of a stark contrast after mostly going to normal hotels for the last few decades. Getting transport to Fontainebleu was convenient. We were able to get a Zuke's. We also walked to the Bellagio from Fontainebleu at midnight when it was cooler. FYI Zuke's stops around 11-12am. Also right across the street is Tacos El Gordo which was featured on a Netflix Taco documentary. It had super long lines around 10pm. The fresh tortillas were very good and it was chaotic, but a good experience. There's also another one by the airport that might be less busy. I don't think my stay at Fontainebleu was so amazing. I think the pools at Ceasar's was better. MGM looked like more fun (and family-friendly) and less ritzy. This hotel looked like it's catering more to the clubbing age group, which I'm not in. However, Fontainebleu did seem to have less smoke smell than MGM or Ceasar's. If you have a lot of money to splurge and spending money makes you feel good, this is the place to go. If you're more of a deal-hunter who likes to get a good bang-for-your-buck, then maybe come if you have some offers or coupons from third parties.

Construction began in 2007, but faced setbacks including the Great Recession and later the COVID-19 pandemic. Knowing its history, I was eager to experience a guest stay. Booking & Check-in:: I booked my room through a travel aggregation website. Upon arrival, the front desk quickly found my reservation. The check-in process was smooth and hassle-free. The clerk was both friendly and helpful. The main lobby is cavernous, with decor that's simple yet elegant. It creates an impression. Room Quality:: The Fontainebleau Las Vegas opened in 2023; but the room's furniture was well-kept, and free from excessive wear that might hint at heavy use. The carpet looked fresh, with no stains or tears in sight. Regarding the bed, the sheets were crisp and bright white. The mattress, pillows and duvet were comfortable. Bathrooms often show the most wear and tear, but this one was pristine. It was spacious. The layout was well-arranged. The towels looked like new, with a heavy pile and a crisp, bright white color. Sometimes when I travel, I like a room that's comfortable, but not so luxurious it makes me want to stay in all day. Other times, I want a inviting space to relax in, and the rooms here fit that bill perfectly. I found the décor, color palette, and furnishings appealing. I also think many hotel rooms lack sufficient lighting, but here there's plenty of it, along with the option to adjust it to your liking. Common Space:: Although I didn't use them myself, I was surprised to learn while walking the grounds that there are seven swimming pools on the premises. I did, however, enjoy some of the gaming options on site, as well as several of the restaurants.

    Wynn - Apparently I was quite fascinated with this rotating blinking art installation...lol

    So many things can be said about this property. For me, it's "crowded excellence"…read more There is a lot to love about this place. The beds are some of the best I think I have ever been in. The pillows are soft, the mattress feels like a cloud and the products are really nice and plush. It's no wonder so many people want to stay here. Service overall was good. Our front desk agent Gerard was a highlight. Really friendly and helpful in understanding our benefits we got with our room. Also gave us some recommendations for place to go and try as well. However, we had issues in service among other places in the property, notably the bell desk. We did have about a 2 hour delay before our room was ready so we dropped our stuff with the bell desk. The setup is weird, there is an inside person and people outside. It seems like everything goes through the outside people, we could only drop our stuff with them and pick our stuff up at checkout, we have no idea what the inside guy did except to direct us outside. Also, by the time our room was ready, we couldn't even pick up the stuff at the bell desk, only delivered to the room. It said it would take 15 minutes but we had to call and because it was "so busy" we had to wait almost an hour for it. The massive sprawling casino has a lot of games to play and a lot of different venues for everyone. Minimums are high for table games (as expected) but there is still something for everyone to play. Cocktail service was slow at times, but Sandra was friendly and quick as well as made some delicious cocktails. Overall, it really is a nice property with some great stuff. But it does feel like it doesn't know how to properly control crowds and leaving you like you were truly at a 5 star resort.

    Irs gorgeous here! I like this better than bellagio as its not so hectic and feels more laid back…read more It was easy using valet here and simple to catch a taxi. I like how this hotel is easy to navigate and they have a great buffet!

    I really enjoyed my experience at The Reserve at Park MGM. I've previously stayed at Park MGM so it…read morewas interesting to try out the Reserve. There's a separate check-in area for The Reserve which I really liked. It was not crowded at all. Upon checkin, they gave me a coconut macaroon which was amazing! I did like that special touch. There are separate elevators going to the Reserve Rooms. However, it is still shared with some of the upper floors from Park MGM. I know that other hotels on the strip have separate elevators exclusively for separate parts of the hotel. I really enjoyed my Atelier room. It was a little bit larger than the standard room. The distinguishing factor about this room is really the bathtub in the room. However, the bathtub itself seems to be a liability for the hotel. I have to say that someone can easily slip and fall in the bathtub. Use extreme caution when using the bathtub. I loved the European french decor. The toilet was a little far away from the bed, but I suppose that is good if you are traveling with somone so when they went to the restroom, it would be less noticable (more privacy, less noise). Since they are hardwood floors, I can hear chairs being moved around from the rooms above me during my stay. I was a little bit irked. Other than that, my stay was quite enjoyable at The Reserve.

    A nice stay. I…read morestayed at The Reserve at Park MGM for two nights and had a pretty good time. I was not wowed by anything in particular, but I still enjoyed my stay. The lobby where we checked in was super dark and moody. There was a lot of seating and nice decor. It was chilly in there which felt like a nice escape from the Vegas heat. It was relatively quick for us to get checked in and receive our keys. This dark and dramatic theme is carried throughout the hotel and to the guest room areas too. We were put in Rm 30-24, which we converted into an adjoining room with Suite 30-22. Our room felt small to me. The bed takes up the majority of the room with little walking space. There is a desk, flat screen TV, sofa, and small wardrobe. The closet is pretty spacious and has some robes, slippers, and a steamer. The sofa was very stiff and honestly looked a bit dingy. There were crumbs on the seat and the pillows were incredibly old and limp. I was hesitant to sit on it! The closet felt disproportionately large for the room. I would have preferred a smaller closet to have more space in the room itself. The rooms and hallways are all so dark. There is no overhead lighting, only tiny lamps throughout the room. I am personally not a fan of this as it made the room feel even smaller and claustrophobic. I understand they are trying to make it feel ambient and moody, but the way it was presented felt more like sleeping in a cave. Inside the closet was the brightest area of the hotel! If you choose to have a conjoined room, it is impractical to keep the doors open. When the adjoining doors are open, it is impossible to use the doors facing the hallway. Everything was cramped and the doors were constantly banging against each other. The bathroom was nice with a spacious shower. The water pressure was slightly better than average, but not super strong. They provided the usual amenities: shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, shower gel, cotton swabs + cotton pads, makeup remover wipes, and a shower cap. I must say, the shampoo and conditioner were spectacular. My hair felt super soft and had no frizz when it dried. It smelled very nice too. The rest of the hotel was just okay. There is not much to do besides lay at the pool and gamble. It is pretty quiet and laid-back. That being said, the casino was pretty small. I did like that it was non-smoking though so it was not suffocating to walk through it. I enjoyed the pool area. Despite it being a hot summer day, there was plenty of seating and lounge chairs available. The music the DJ was playing was really good and the pool was super chilly. This is definitely not my first choice for a Vegas hotel but I could stay here again.

    The most unassuming quaint hotel I've ever witnessed…read more It's easy to think that going to Vegas means you have to stay on The Strip--ease of transportation, proximity to the shows, and the ambiance of "the Las Vegas" experience. However, for those of us who come to Vegas often, staying at those hotels often means higher prices and headaches with navigating around the busy traffic. Having stayed at most of the larger hotels (The Luxor, The Bellagio, Encore at Wynn, Park MGM etc) I've had my fill of the dazzling lights and boisterous crowds. I do recommend you try these hotels at least a few times to truly soak in the bustle of Las Vegas night life. For me, I prefer to stay adjacent to, but not within, The Strip. This way, I can have some comfort in a quieter setting and can call an uber at any moment to meet friends along The Strip. This was the reason I chose Nirvana Hotel. Situated right next to The Luxor and The Mandalay Bay, it is both affordable and close to the attractions I come to Vegas for. The exterior is a bit off-putting at first. You aren't greeted with the pristine fountained welcome that you expect from Vegas--the wonderful precession of marble floors, the lush green plants, the ornate chandeliers. The main check-in station is inside the souvenir shop which resembles that of a run down gas station. Service is quick and the check-in process is painless. Their doors all use numbers so you don't have to worry about misplacing your card. Just don't get so drunk you forget! The room itself is very humble: queen bed, LG tv, two night stands, a small fridge, and a walk-in shower. Clean, organized, and arranged professionally. I will definitely stay here again. Connie was at the reception and welcomed me warmly. Parking is free. That's right. FREE. For your entire duration of stay.

This will look like to most a motel with a drive up to your room and an upstairs set of rooms. No pool . You are with in walking distance of the Four Seasons The Luxor and Mandalay Bay etc This is on Las Vegas South You can buy breakfast on site. Free coffee up in the front office with package cookies They have a mini fridge in the room. I was gone early in the morning and was back late The minus was street noise from construction and I was there on trash day so the trash truck backing up at 5:50 Am was an early morning wake up call ( I needed to be up at that time anyways) No house keeping while for my two day stay I would be happy to stay here again
