text: Some aspects of this hotel are great.  It is slightly off the strip, although you can easily walk to the strip.  But because it is off the strip, there is less foot traffic here.  The entire hotel itself is not as smoke-infused as others, which I appreciate.  It's great that I don't have to have a constant headache from second hand smoke, as I get sometimes at other hotels.  This hotel is also quieter since it's not a \"party hotel\". Although the hotel has outdoor parking rather than the huge structures that the more popular hotels have, it's hotter to go outside BUT you don't have to walk forever to get to your car.\n\nThe odd things about this hotel is that one sign in the lobby says the hotel is smoke-free, but then the bar has ash trays and matches.  SO you can smoke in the bar in the hotel.  I know it is a symptom of being from California, but I don't think that I'm spoiled for asking for clean air.  The odd thing was that when we turned on our cold water for too long in our room's sink (and I'm not talking that long - just long enough to wash your face), the pipes start to make an annoying loud noise. You have to turn the water off, then back on to get rid of the noise.\n\nThey do have Wifi here, although on the 16th floor where my room was, it did not work.  It seems like the top floors have some issues with it.  I don't mind it too much, but if my husband was with me, he'd be annoyed since my Verizon service seemed to not function on the 16th floor as well.\n\nThe AWFUL part, which I did not experience, was my friend had to take a VERY cold shower on our last day here. She called down to complain about it, but really got nothing out of it besides a comment that they were aware of the issue.  I'd knock them down another star if that happened to myself.
