Room Quality
Big 560 square foot rooms. That makes them bigger than the ones
at Bellagio or Mandalay
Bay, and we happen to think they are every bit as nice, provided
you don't mind being 25 minutes from the Strip. For some strange
reason there are two hotels on the property, the Spa Tower and
the Palms Tower. The Palms Tower is the fancier one and its rooms
are done in rich yellows and tans, and the lighting is beautifully
soft. In addition, many rooms have balconies. The size allows
for a big sofa int he king bed rooms, and some fancy cherry wood
furniture. Palms Tower bathrooms are not as fancy as the ones
over in the Spa tower, but still wildly successful in making
you feel rich. The Spa Tower bathrooms are enormous and have
huge tubs with separate showers. Overall, the spa tower rooms
are a bit busier, with more stuff in the room, which is slightly
smaller because of the big bathroom.
Service Quality:
Very good. They don't even yell at us for hanging around. There
is hardly ever a wait to check in, and there is plenty of attentive,
and amazingly professional staff to serve you. There are very
few unpleasant employees, but we bet some of them are just faking
being happy. The spa at this hotel is one of the best in Las
Vegas, so if you need a facial or pedicure, you're in the right
place.
What You Get Bottles
of in the Bathroom: All the best, including high-quality
soap, shampoo and conditioner. Moisturize with a generous bottle
of lotion, too.
Clientele:
Rich people in their forties and up. It's not our crowd, but
we keep hanging around hoping some wealth will rub off on us.
How's the pool?
It's an elegant pool for laying around or the occasional dip.
It's not a pool for swimming laps, and unless you are a rich
divorcee in your fifties, it's not going to have many gorgeous
people of your age hanging around. It's big and usually not very
crowded.
Free Shuttle:
They used to have one, but they discontinued it. (For complete
free shuttle info and schedules buy our guide--it's only $4)
