I’ll start with the bottom line, 100% I will stay here again. The strip view condo was exactly what I was looking for: spacious, full kitchen, close to the strip, very quiet and every amenity that I needed. The kitchen is modern with excellent high-end appliances and fully stocked with good pots and pans, dishes, toaster, blender and coffee maker. (note: A couple pouches of coffee we’re included, but if you wish to bring your own ground coffee, the maker is a Cuisinart 4-cup brewer that uses #2 cone-shaped filters. Filters were not supplied but I purchased a box and left a few behind). There is a ton of closet space and drawers, which is great for stowing things away for an extended stay (I was here for a full month). The beds and furniture are very comfortable, the baths are spacious and well appointed.
The SVS staff are very good and very attentive to your needs. They are always right there by phone or text. Very reassuring and an added bonus.
I didn’t use the gym or pool this trip, but some other guests said they are very good.
There is an enclosed walkway to the MGM which is very convenient. Its an easy air-conditioned 4 to 5 minute walk to the MGM monorail station and all of the restaurants and MGM features.
As other’s have mentioned, the only drawback is the valet parking situation. Late morning around checkout time, it can be 10-15 minutes before valet fetches your car. Between 4:30pm and 7:00pm it can take 10 to 20 minutes just to drop your car off when returning for the evening. If you take your car out after 7:00pm, particularly on weekends, there is a good chance the valet will be full and you’ll need to park at the MGM, which is about an 8-10 minute walk. One Saturday evening, the valet was full and I was routed to the MGM just as they had a concert ending. Koval Lane, was stopped dead and it took 45 minutes to drive the 1.5 blocks to the MGM garage, even then I had to circle around to Paradise to enter the garage. I’m not sure what the problem is. There seem to be plenty of valet personnel and they are all very nice, but cars get stacked up and the whole thing grinds to a halt.
Fortunately, I didn’t need my car every day, so it wasn’t a major issue. I also learned to avoid late mornings and late afternoons, so that I could come and go with no wait at all. I walk a lot and the condo is so close to the heart of the strip that I didn’t need a car for getting to any of the major hotels.
Again, the main point is location, location, location and room, room, room. In that regard, this condo is perfect and my new go-to place in Las Vegas
