text: Let me start by saying that I would have given the casino alone a but unfortunately the casino gets rated with a hotel that I will not stay in againnnCASINOnVery elegant in keeping with the theme And HUGE It is pretty much too big it is easy to get lost inside regardless of the plentiful signage and any cockiness you may have about a sense of direction There is an excellent selection of restaurants throughout but nearly all on the extremely expensive side Also despite the size of the place it is somewhat cramped and airless by all the machines tables and people crammed inside and searching for a doornnHOTELnSlowest Check in Ever The desk had a full complement of staff but each employee across the board was taking minutes per customer I wondered if this might just be overkill on customer service or maybe even slow computers I was ready to give benefit of the doubt until my turn at the front of my line when I discovered that no it was just slow staffnnEach floor of the hotel is beautiful and airy especially the central area near the elevators from which the spokes of the hallways radiate The rooms are okay They are rooms Simple but nicely decorated The pictures on the walls are nicely framed black white photos of stars of stage and screen Some are a bit dark and creepy but most are nice But the feel is old The fixtures are not ageing well from chipped scarred and stained chairs to chipped scarred and stained bathroom fixtures I was a little concerned about the toilet The beds are beautiful and supremely comfortable but otherwise I definitely felt let down by the quality I just expected much more Plus for a nonsmoking floor there was a constant definite smell of cigarette smoke in my roomnnOverall does the job as a hotel but the oldschool Tinseltown elegance has definitely faded With all the other options around I will not stay here again
