We stayed here on this past NYE (2007) because of the outrageou$$$ costs of hotels on the strip on NYE night. Atrium is located technically I think 2 blocks away from the strip... no biggs right? WRONG. \nThose are some mighty big blocks, totaling over 1 mile!\n\nWhat, you love walking? \nHmmmm well I'm sure you won't think so on a cold (non-snowy but still frigid) winter desert night or a blazing hot summer night. \n\nWhat? You're still set on walking to the strip?\nFine then, but be aware you're walking on a fairly busy street without a sidewalk. Ya, there you go- enjoy that. (I'm suuuure there are no drunk drivers in Vegas that at any second could swerve onto the rocky non-sidewalk walking area).\n\nOk so maybe you decide to cab it to the strip (smart kid)....\nBack to the hotel. It's ok. nothing fancy...at all. Kinda smelly corridors and it has a weird vending machine whose products made me feel a quite ill. Our room had an interesting architectural plan that made it feel more like 2 separate rooms (think large studio) - nice! However the fake 3-D wallpapered border drove me nuts. I know that is extremely minor, but hey, I'm picky.\n\nOverall fine place to stay if you gotta save a buck, or if for some reason you want to get away from the strip. Just make sure you're ready to cab it!
