The studio is roughly 18-30 minutes from the strip. The wonderful thing is that I do not have to smell smoke all the time. Alejandro also communicated with us prior to arriving to LV. Just note that check-in time is 4pm. Definitely was okay for us since I am always late, but if you are an early bird go get something to eat or hit up the casinos first. The studio is clean and has all the utensils you would need. Bathroom was clean as well...maybe just need some washcloths. Otherwise, wonderful stay.
