Why People Love It
- Free valet parking (a rarity in Vegas)
- Strict non-smoking and non-gaming policy creates a noticeably fresher smell
- Kitchenettes in every room for saving money on meals
Quick Take: It’s a glorified condo building that feels a bit sterile and isolated, but the silence and free parking make it a steal for the right traveler.
Reviewed by @advntrsntrvl: I stayed in this massive suite and honestly, having a quiet sanctuary above the Strip was a game changer. The jacuzzi view was my favorite part—perfect for unwinding after a long night out.

Insider Tips
