Reviewed by @LatinaViajeraVibes: My boyfriend and I had the best weekend! We stayed at Westgate to save cash, which let us splurge on Tiesto tickets at LIV and drinks at the Eiffel Tower. The monorail made getting around a breeze. Highly recommend this hack for a budget-friendly party trip!
Guest Who Stayed Here Said
Reality check
Inconsistent cleanliness—some report spotless renovated rooms, others cite 'black debris' in drains and thin walls.
- You plan to spend your entire trip in the Sportsbook
- You are attending a trade show at the Las Vegas Convention Center (next door)
- You want a steakhouse experience that rivals the Strip without the Strip prices (Edge Steakhouse)
Cleanliness & Maintenance

- Housekeeping: Inconsistent. Some guests report daily service, others say they had to beg for fresh towels.
- Bathroom hygiene: Hit or miss. Renovated rooms are fine; older rooms have reports of hair in drains, low water pressure, and 'black debris' backing up in tubs.
- Maintenance: Aging infrastructure is evident. Elevators can be slow/broken, and AC units in older rooms are loud.
- Linens & towels: Standard hotel grade. Check your sheets for stains upon arrival—complaints exist.
- Odors & scents: Casino floor has a noticeable cigarette smoke smell that can drift; rooms can smell musty if not renovated.

Room Genie
Best picks
- Luxe King Room (North Tower) - Recently renovated, modern decor, better soundproofing
- Premier Room - Solid mid-tier option with better views than Signature rooms
Rooms to avoid
- Signature Rooms - These are the unrenovated 'classic' rooms; expect worn carpet, old outlets, and 'grandma's house' furniture
Room Request Genie – copy & paste
“I am requesting a complimentary upgrade to a renovated Luxe or Premier room in the North Tower, high floor, away from the elevators. Please ensure the room is not a connecting room to minimize noise.”
FAQ & Hidden tips
Everything you actually want to know before you book.
Is the pool open year-round?
No. The pool deck is seasonal and usually closes in late fall/winter, reopening around March.
How much is the resort fee?
Expect to pay around $50 to $57 per night (tax inclusive) on top of your room rate.
Is it walkable to the Strip?
Technically yes, but it's a long, desolate walk to the Sahara. Take the Monorail (on-site) or an Uber.
Does the hotel allow pets?
Yes, it is dog-friendly (up to 2 dogs, max 60lbs total) but charges a hefty fee (~$150 per stay).
Is there a coffee maker in the room?
Generally no. You'll need to buy coffee at the lobby Starbucks or Fortuna deli.
Can I refuse the timeshare presentation?
Absolutely. They will frame it as 'picking up your welcome gift.' Just say 'No thank you' firmly and walk away.
