The hotel is just off the Strip near Sahara and The Strat, and is very nice and quiet. The building was created as a casino, but all of that has been removed, which is part of what drew me to it. No casino in the hotel means quiet nights! The Barista Bar is excellent, and the restaurant is great too. I only ate breakfast at the Italian restaurant, and did not go to the steak house.
I hope that they owners have plans to use the very empty space for some more guest amenities. It seems very empty. Maybe once the Fairgrounds get built out?
The location is a little rough, being at that end of the Strip, but the DTLV Arts district is close by. That neighborhood is a vibrant and fun break from the casinos and themed hotels.
