When the EMS World Expo comes to the Las Vegas Convention Center, I usually stay at the LVH.  This year marks my last time staying there.   The biggest pro to the LVH is that by going through the hotel and walking across a small alley, you're in the Convention Center.\n\nThe negative is that you have to stay at the LVH.  The entire hotel is dated.  The check-in staff will try to upsell you on a room upgrade.  Go for it, for the refrigerator alone.  (A quick trip to the Target at Flamingo and Maryland will allow you to stock up on beverages and avoid hotel prices for drinks.)\n\nThe real downer of my trip is the constant promotions.  I went through the conference organizer who arranged a special rate of $79/night (before the $20 upgrade).  However, Hotels Tonight was continually offering rooms for $25/night.  When I asked the front desk staff about this, they told me I had agreed to the higher rate and there was nothing they could do.  Considering the amount of vacancies the LVH had AND their loss of the Hilton name, I'd be in a bigger hurry to retain the few customers they are getting.
