text: Let me start out by saying despite the low rating, this Hilton does have some redeeming qualities: the people are friendly, it's clean, the rooms are nice, it has a decent pool.  But you can get that a lot of places.\n\nThe \"On The Las Vegas Strip\" part of the title of the hotel is very misleading.  It is technically on the strip, yes, but it is a 20 minute walk past abandoned construction sites to get to anything other than Circus Circus.  I ended up taking taxis to get anywhere most of the time, and learned that the large building across the street had been under construction/abandoned since 2008, along with several other properties around this hotel in similar situations.  This is not \"On The Strip\".\n\nThere's a pool bar with a menu and drinks, but there's no restaurant in this hotel.  You can go down to the first floor and order a $15 frozen pizza that they heat up for you, or have one delivered to your room, but if you want to sit down for a nice meal, you're out of luck.  This I find completely inexcusable.  I'm in Vegas for the love of Todd - I'm there to either gamble (can't do that at the hotel), eat (can't do that at the hotel), or see a show (can't do that at the hotel).  Total disappointment, and a poor representation of Hilton.\n\nIt actually seems like they're using this hotel specifically to coerce people into timeshares, although I can't believe they have good luck with it given the lack of amenities at the property.  I'm just assuming that based on the number of people I spoke with who were there on 'free' vacations if they listened to a presentation and high pressure sales pitch on timeshares.\n\nAnyway - like I said.  If you don't care about being 'on the strip' or don't mind taking a taxi every time (ranged from about $10-$20 for a one-way trip depending on traffic), and don't care about close by food options, and don't want to gamble at your hotel, this is probably fine.  But if you want the Vegas experience, head south more and actually stay on the strip.
