text: There are a lot of hotel rooms in Vegas.\n\nIf you want a deal on a suite close to the Strip, stay at the Platinum, ok?\n\nI wasn't initially going to, until a chance Hotels Tonight (check out the app and use promo code LSONG2 for $25 off your first hotel) offer put it in just the right price range. After my incredibly disappointing stay the previous night, it wasn't going to take much to impress me.\n\nI was overwhelmed. In a good way.\n\nAt the front door the staff greeted me, got us into a room 3 hours before check in, and as we waited in the attractive lobby I nibbled on a fresh cookie and drank fruit water. Heaven, after the 15 minute walk from the strip (directly behind Bally's). The Platinum isn't exactly on the strip. It's not a casino. You can't smoke. But it's close enough that anyone can walk there if they're not obese. Or a smoker. \n\nOur room was large, lush, and complete with a wonderful bathroom with Jacuzzi for two and full kitchen. Ice, water, and warm blankets and pure sheets. At night, we had a view of the strip from the fourth floor.\n\nIt was like coming home after Boy and I stayed up late gaming and watching shows. It was a haven. If only the bed was a little bit taller, it would have been perfect.\n\nBut that's just me.\n\nOh, be sure to check out the pool, and the spa if you fancy a facial or massage.\n\nCome to Vegas, see Cirque du Soleil's Ka, and stay at the Platinum, and your trip might be as good as mine. Might.
