The Elara is one of the nicest and cleanest properties in Vegas. I would highly recommend staying there.
Pros:
- Super clean, room had all the modern amenities that you would expect
- Got an upgrade and got a room on the 53rd floor with a killer view of South Vegas Strip
- Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable
- Nice pool and pool bar was great
- Adjacent to Miracle Mile and all the shops and restaurants there
Cons:
- Not adjacent to Vegas monorail (closest stop is Ballys / Paris)
- Spotty Wifi in hotel for a Hilton property - Wifi was down the entire second day I was there and really needed access
- TV was very erratically behaving when watching it
- You have to endure a timeshare talk upon check in (and they might call you the next day)
- The Starbucks in the lobby charges ridiculous prices, but is typical for Strip
