text: The concept of the Nobu Hotel is brilliant but it is execution falls a bit short I stayed for days and overall I was pleased with my experience I would consider staying here again because the priceservice ratio seems inline BUT I do not think that NOBU is a substituition for the Mandarin Oriental Wynn or Encore properties nnThe Goodnn The staff were young and seemed like they were still overcoming the learning curve with being a relatively new hotel I made simple requests before checkin More towels and extra bottled water Both of these did not happen After checkin though the staff were polite attentive and overall made my stay a pleasant one While the young staff did make a few errors during my stay they more than compensated for these with a positive attitude prompt communication and a willingness to address my concernsnn My room was exceptionally clean nicely appointed and I appreciated the little details like Marvis toothpaste and probably the fluffiest towels I have encountered in a hotelnn I was given an upgrade to a view room which was a kind gesture but the view was lackluster nn I really liked the secure elevator system As a guest you only have access to your floor and I rarely encountered other guests in the hallways I think this is great idea and I had zero issues with noise during my stay The quiet calm of the hotel was a welcome diversion from the chaos a few hundred feet away at the main gaming pit of CaesarsnnnThe Badnn If your craving an amazing Vegas strip view you are probably not going to get it at Nobu even in a view room nn My king room did not have a desk so if your visiting for business using a laptop for extended periods on the couch may be less than ideal The executive level of the hotel had a few computers located directly in front of the elevator bank and seemed like an afterthought It would not be realistic to spend more than minutes working herenn I really love the concept of the boutique hotel within a hotel but somehow Nobu feels marginalized It feels like they could easily improve the customer service and amenities a club level lounge or expanded breakfast or afternoon tea service perhaps up a couple of notches and be a solid competitor with the MO or Wynn properties
