text: Excellent hotel right in the center of the strip. Great location with access to all of the nice casinos and shows. This was perfect for our family since it was smoke-free; can't stand cigarette smoke! I know I know.... Vegas and cigarette smoke! We go to Vegas to stuff our bellies and watch shows. Being inside of the Miracle Mile shops was a big plus since we can grab a quick bite to eat in the morning. Kind of funny but I love having an ABC store nearby; feel like I'm in Hawaii :-) The pool area was nice and safe for the kids. \nWe stayed in a 1 bedroom suite. It was nice having a full kitchen, though we never used it, and a washer/dryer was a nice touch, which the wife used. The rooms are nice and quiet. The kids loved the 8 ft. projection screen. Definitely a good compromise for the family with its upscale amenities and being family friendly.\nThe only negative (and it's small) is the parking. During peak hours, it's hard to find parking since the parking structure is shared with PH and the Miracle Mile. You can pay the $15 valet and not deal with the parking issue. I may just do that the next time.\nIf you are there to gamble and go crazy, this hotel may not be for you. If you want a quiet vacation in Vegas with the family still have the luxury to \"go crazy\", it's a perfect place.  We usually stay at the Palazzo/Venetian but I think we found a new place to stay in Vegas!
