If you're attending a show at the Las Vegas Convention Center, it's hard to beat the Westgate for convenience. You can walk from the hotel to the show floor in under fifteen minutes. \n\nThat said, the Westgate is still figuring out what it wants to be. Under new management, the staff seems reinvigorated and focused on making your stay a great one. There's still work to be done, primarily in the room upgrades and the dining options, but I loved the enthusiasm of the team trying to make this a better option for Vegas travelers.\n\nI stayed in the North tower in one of the renovated rooms, and it was quite nice. Yes, the two beds were only doubles, but the bedding was soft and clean and I had a beautiful view of the mountains to the east. My shower worked great, with hot water available immediately and good drainage in the tub. (Colleagues in the East tower didn't fare as well on that front.)\n\nOne interesting option at the Westgate is the \"Go Green\" incentive. You can push a \"Green\" button on your phone and opt out of housekeeping services for the day. For this, you get a $10 voucher good for food/drink in the hotel during your stay. This service is not available on check-in or check-out days, so I only used it once, but I absolutely loved it. Bonus - it paid for my coffee at Fortuna (as well as the guest in line behind me) the next day.\n\nWait times at registration and the taxi stand were never more than five minutes, but the Paradise Cafe fills up for breakfast, so be prepared to wait during peak times. (A better option, grab and go from Fortuna, plus it's open 24-hours.)
