This condo is as advertised, but it fell short of a five-star experience because it felt like very little has been changed since it was built 16 years ago, and it lacked a few things that you would expect.
The most glaring example is the absence of furniture on the massive balcony. There isn’t a view of the strip, but you can see the MGM pools and mountains in the background from 37 floors up, and to not have one single piece of furniture out there to enjoy it was bizarre. Other things that stood out include:
--Sounds from the adjacent elevators are constant.
--No pillows on the couch (which had stains).
--Cigarette burn marks on the carpet.
--No hand soap in the kitchen or an oven mitt.
--No smart TVs.
--No items (soap, candles, etc.) for the Jacuzzi.
--The towels were mediocre quality.
--The business center charges exorbitant fees ($7 minimum for computer access; $1.50 per page for black-and-white copies).
--Bottled water was $5 pretty much everywhere, so a couple in the fridge would have been nice.
With that said, you are unlikely to find as much space at this price anywhere else, particularly the main bathroom, which is bigger than some apartments I’ve been to in Manhattan.
It’s similar to staying in a hotel, except basically you aren’t paying resort fees in exchange for not receiving daily housekeeping.
