text: The renovations have resulted in a bright modern hotel on the inside a bit odd whitewashed looking on the outside not sure what they were going for as it is not very tropical nnOur room was perfect clean well maintained Our only complaint is the distance to the room which was in the tower by the conference facility These are however the newer rooms so we had none of the problems noted by others with respect to smells or plumbingnnThe casino is not the most happening place but less smoky than others and we felt more relaxed than at other casinos The beverage servers are great and we did well at the slot machinesnnMy biggest complaint is the limited casual food one cafe and one junky food court type arrangement The cafe is very expensive for what you get more options would have been appreciated nnService was uniformly good particularly the check in desk and the bellmen at the front door who were adept at handling checked bags getting cabs etc They were very outgoing and friendly and I saw that they treated everyone well even those who did not tip The hotel definitly knows who to put out frontnnLocation is very good for the lower end of the Strip Pools are nice
