We stayed in units 711 & 712. A 3 Bedroom lock out.
This was a flexchange thru II and we were happy to get it on such short notice and such a big unit.
We were assigned a lower floor 3 bedroom lock out. We could hear the strip noise from our unit in all areas.
The strip was quite noisy the weekend we were there due to it being Memorial day weekend.
Our unit consisted of a 2 bedroom 2 bath unit with a king and two full sized beds with a sofabed in the living room.
Full kitchen and full dining set that seats 8.
The living room was quite small and a bit uncomfortable but we were only 3 in the 2 bedroom side so it wasn't an issue.
I can't imagine having the maximum number of occupants in this cramped unit.
Although it says that this unit is 2000 sq. ft. it didn't seem like it.
The bedrooms are large and so are the baths and there is a foyer so maybe that is where the square footage is.
Would have been nicer to have a bigger living space.
The lock off was a full 1 bedroom with a kitchen. Living area seemed adquate for the 1 bedroom although would be
cramped with max occupancy. We only had 2 people in the lock off so it was adequate.
Had a king bed and sofa bed.
Both units had a stackable washer and dryer made by some Swedish company named Asko.
It's one of those high efficiency yet quite inefficient units that takes 3 hours to do one load from wash to dry.
Not sure why they didn't just put in a regular Whirlpool stackable which is much more efficient and faster.
Not to mention easier to purchase and maintain than these Asko units.
The rooftop pool was adequate most days til the holiday weekend arrived, then it was packed.
We were always able to get chairs but it's definitely too small for the size of resort.
Rooftop view of the strip was great day or night..
They are putting in a new tower and pool which is sorely needed but also may just complicate the situation with more people.
The pool bar was great with nice friendly bartenders making good strong drinks.
They had daily specials and happy hour a few days.
They also play Bingo everyday which makes if feel like a cruise ship atmosphere.
The pool bar has a limited bar menu with $5 sandwiches, $1 chips.
Nothing special but at least it's something to eat in a pinch.
The marketplace store in the lobby also had a few fast options.
Prices were not outrageous. $6 salads, $5 sandwiches.
Location is great. A short walk to Bellagio/ NY/NY etc. Planet Hollywood/Elara is right across the street.
Many restaurant options at reasonable prices across the street at the Miracle Mile. Try Pampas for lunch.
An Argentenian rodizio for $19.95 with unlimited meats & salad bar. Great find for a late lunch.
They have the special til 4pm.
The concierge at this resort was less than helpful which is unusual for a Marriott.
Ignored me twice while she was on the phone.
I ended up walking away from her twice and just using the Amex phone concierge service.
Pretty sad. Needless to say we never did the TS tour.
Valet parking is free and efficient with nice attendants. Just tip a buck or two each time.
Actually parking is free valet almost everywhere we went in Vegas. A nice perk.
They were quite efficient despite the busy packed resort.
Always helpful and welcoming you back.
Wi-fi was free and worked most days. One day it wasn't working but that was when the house was packed.
Even 3G was slow all weekend once everyone packed into Vegas. It was very crowded all weekend.
The lobby has 4 computers that you can use for 20 minute intervals and print a few pages.
It has a 20 minute timer on it so will log you off after 20 minutes.
The front desk staff is very friendly.
They faxed three faxes for me while there.
We ended up adding one night to our reservation at the last minute.
The front desk was helpful but had to send us to the 1-800 reservation line in order to do the reservation which didn't make sense to me.
Surprisingly this is something that the front desk cannot do directly.
They can modify an existing reservation but cannot book a direct reservation.
The resort was pretty rowdy while we were there and security was lacking on the weekend at times with people wandering
drunk into the elevators and then complaining that the elevator wouldn't move.
Well duh, you need a room key to move the elevator. I found this unacceptable.
There were many rooms with rowdy parties going on.
We met a few bachelor parties at the pool with 8 plus in a room.
Lots of prostitutes in and out of the hotel at all hours day or night.
I guess this is the norm for Vegas and nobody seemed phased.
We saw a few families with small children.
I'm not sure this resort is suitable for traveling with small children given the party atmosphere.
Maybe an off strip location would have been better.
I'd go back to this resort but probably not during a holiday weekend.
It was fine during the week but once the party weekend started it was just too crowded to really enjoy.
The rooms are nice and comfortable with nice amenities and finishes typical of Marriott.
