This was our first Airbnb experience and it was wonderful. We went for a week long for a birthday and for Valentine's day. I'm just going to go straight to the pros and cons.
_Pros_
The room- the room is on the 16th floor, just the right height for us. the bathtub was amazing. Can fit two people. There was a little issue with the button but the host already told us prior to arrival so we already knew about it. The bed was okay. If you like firm beds then its perfect for you. We like beds that are softer but it was tolerable. The view was amazing. It has a great view of the mountains in the back. There's plenty of storage to store things.
The hotel-the hotel was amazing and the staff is very nice. When we ran out of tissue and needed more towels, they brought them up with no problem. The hotel has a Starbucks, but the Starbucks is only open on Saturday and Sunday mornings. The hotel also have a quick walk to get to the MGM grand which has plenty of stores and slots along the way. The pool at Tower 2 and 3 was closed but our pool at Tower 1 was open during certain times. We didn't go but it looks nice. The gym was open. We used it and loved how they have so many different equipment.
Location-the area was close to the strip. We walked around and explored the area and realized the back entrance was a quick 10 minute walk to the strip. Top Golf is right next to the hotel also. We went there and had a great time. When you take the 10 minute walk to the strip, it takes you straight to Denny's, Walgreens, Target, and plenty of other stores.
Smoking-even though you can't smoke in the hotel, there was plenty of areas that you can smoke.
Cleaning-the room was clean. It was a stain on one of the couch pillows and some stains on the curtains but other than that, the room was great.
The host-the host was great! They checked in with us a few times to make sure everything was going okay. Before, during, and after the stay.
_Cons_
Noise-housekeeping can be a bit noisy in the mornings when cleaning the rooms. We went during Valentine's day weekend so it was really crowded and some of the guest was noisy.
The hotel-Tower 1 entrance is closed during certain days and times so it was a bit confusing for Ubers because they went to Tower 2 a few times. We took Ubers and walked the whole time but we did realize watching other people that Valet can be awhile. Also, you have to consider the days and times that you go. We checked in on a Wednesday and the process was smooth and quick but around Friday was when it was really crowded. The check in line and the car line was long. We was glad that we checked in during the middle of the week and didn't have to deal with that.
Also, to save money you can go on Groupon for a lot of deals on food and activities. We saved a lot of money using Groupon.
