This was a very nice - though nothing terribly special - hotel. In most any city other than Las Vegas, I'd say it was a great hotel. But with the caliber expected on nearby the Vegas Strip, I hoped for more from a Westin. Especially considering this hotel cost MORE than the big resorts right on the strip! I recommend spending less money and being in a more convenient spot by staying at a resort such as Planet Hollywood.

We stayed for 5 days in mid novemeber 2011. We were in a 26th floor room with a "king" size murphy bed. Bed was surprisingly comfortable, but annoying ventilation hum could be heard through pillows when sleeping on your side. Walls are thin and neighbouring conversations can be heard clearly. Shows at Hilton are clearly B class. Muzak is steady 70's classics. Service was good but not outstanding. We chose the Hilton because the price was reasonable, there was no resort fees, and the Monorail stops right at the hotel so access to the strip is quick and easy. We ate at the paradise Cafe a couple of times for breakfast as the Hotel offers a $10 food coupon if you opt out of getting your room done for a day. Service was good, food was adequate. There are better places to eat on the strip. Few restaurant choices in the hotel when compared to other resorts/hotels. Vegas showing its age and the effects of the recession - signs not repaired, faded paint, not as clean as it used to be, panhandlers common on the bridges.

My husband and I were very happy with the choice we made in this Resort. We got a 1 bedroom suite, with 2 TV's. It was clean and spacious. The king size bed was comfortable. I never used the pool, even though I brought my bathing suit. It was November. But it was a heated pool and had a jacuzzi. I did see people using it, but I was just too busy to use the pool. The resort also had an exercise room, which, I never used either. The resort came with a continental breakfast. We ate breakfast every day. The coffee they used was Starbucks brand. The breakfast was not bad either. Scrambled eggs everyday, and bacon 1 day and sausages the next. fruit, cereal, yogert, granola, instant oatmeal, o-juice, tea. Sometimes it was busy, but we always found room to sit down, even if we shared a table with someone. It was nice to have that breakfast, then start the day. Also, Monday - Thursday, they have a complementry managers reception in frount lobby , with wine, beer and small snack. Now were else would you get this in Vegas? The Resort was not a far walk from the strip at all. Close to MGM hotel Coming back to our Resort in the evening was nice as the resort was quiet ( there are no casinos in this resort ) and the frount lobby staff always welcomed you with a " good evening". One good thing for my husband who is a smoker, was that he could smoke on the balcony. They had 2 chairs and a small table outside with an ashtray. I think this is a little gem in Vegas.We will stay here again.

We didn't initially book the Desert Club, but chose it when we wanted to spend one more night in Vegas and our first hotel was full. So we booked one night via Expedia. The resort consists of about 20 three-story buildings, with a semi-private entrance and little deck or patio for each room. Our suite could have used some updating, particularly the worn cabinetry and tube TVs, but it was comfortable. The resort was quiet, and the heated pools were lovely. The resort is about a 10-minute walk to the strip, but offers free shuttles to and from the strip and a few other locations. We like to walk, but did take the shuttle back at night. Overall we were pleased and would stay here again. A few important notes: Our building didn't have an elevator - we don't know about the other buildings. While that wasn't a problem for us, you might want to request a 1st-floor room if you don't like stairs. Conversely, we heard the people walking around above us (we were on 2nd floor), so if we go back, we'll ask for a 3rd-floor room. Check in was unnecessarily difficult. Our confirmation and the confirmation Expedia faxed to the resort showed a one-night reservation, but the resort's system showed two nights. Rather than let us check in for one night and figure out the glitch later, the reception person had us wait while he tried to figure out the problem.
