Farið yfir af @itstynez: I spent the most relaxing weekend here. The pool deck is stunning—I literally didn't leave my cabana all day. If you want the Vegas sun without the chaotic crowds, this spot is an absolute dream. It felt like my own private desert oasis.

Reality check
Service can be hit-or-miss at the pool, and some guests were annoyed by the lack of a stocked minibar (fridges are empty by default).
- You are a foodie who prioritizes access to Prince St. Pizza and Irv's Burgers over a Cirque du Soleil show
- You have a car and want to explore Red Rock Canyon
- You hate the smell of stale smoke (the casino has a top-tier air filtration system)
Hreinlæti og viðhald
9
- Housekeeping: Daily service is standard and generally sharp, though a few guests noted missed dusting on high shelves.
- Bathroom hygiene: Immaculate. Showers are large, glass-enclosed, and grout is fresh (benefit of being a new build).
- Maintenance: Everything is brand new and functioning perfectly. No peeling paint or leaky faucets reported.
- Linens & towels: Plush, high-thread-count linens that feel crisp and expensive.
- Odors & scents: The casino floor has a signature scent that effectively neutralizes smoke; rooms smell neutral and fresh.

Innherja ábendingar
- ✨
The Oyster Bar has a cult following and huge lines; go at 10 AM or 3 PM to walk right in.
- ✨
You can order food from the food hall to be delivered to the sports book.
- ✨
Ask for a 'player's card' immediately upon arrival even if you don't gamble much; it can sometimes get you a discount at the buffet or restaurants.
5 hlutir sem þú ættir að vita áður en þú ferð
💡The lobby smells like 'white tea and thyme' specifically to mask any casino odor.
💡The elevators have a cool 'floating lantern' design that looks great in photos.
💡There is no buffet in the traditional Vegas sense; the food hall *is* the replacement.
💡The 'Mountain View' isn't just rocks; you get incredible sunset colors over the Spring Mountains.
💡Security is surprisingly tight; you need a room key to even call the elevator.
