In the cab from the airport, after transferring planes and flying through turbulence for eight hours, at what, to our East Coast bodies and minds, was 3:30AM, our cabbie said, \"Oh, you're staying *there*?\" and wrinkled his nose in disgust. \"Well, I guess you can at least *see* The Strip from there.\" That was how our Vegas vacation started. \n\nSo we were pretty surprised when he pulled up to hotel less than a block off what appeared to be a pretty central location on The Strip. We walked into the clean, bright marble lobby filled with plush chairs and couches and were quickly checked in to our 2 bedroom suite. \n\nEven more surprising was the suite itself, which was plenty large enough for our group of 4-6 (two left halfway through the week). I won't describe the room in detail, as Yelpers have already done so in several other reviews, but it was certainly very nice. Screw you and your judgmental ways, cabbie.\n\nThe next morning we drove over to Wal-mart and stocked up on groceries to take advantage of our full kitchen. Cooked some meals in-house and saved a bunch of cash-- awesome (this might not be a bonus for those of you who aren't on the living-paycheck-to-paycheck-but-need-a-vacation-so-bad-I-don't-care plan, but it was great for us)!\n\nDidn't mind at all that we didn't have a casino in the hotel. Plenty of them were a short walk away, as were tons of other things to do, including the half price ticket booth, which we could quickly run out to in our PJs first thing in the morning. \n\nThe only issue we had was that the pool and jacuzzi was closed for maintenance during our stay. I know they have to maintain it sometime, and I know February tends to be there \"slow season,\" but it was still disappointing. \n\nAll in all, I'd highly recommend staying at the Polo Towers, and would definitely stay there again-- hopefully sometime when the pool is in working order!
