text: I think it's funny that out of all of the places that I reviewed in Vegas for my list, I failed to write a review for the place I ACTUALLY STAYED IN. Well, maybe that goes to show how memorable (or not) my stay actually was. Was it the Four Seasons? No. But did I find Mexican children sleeping in my bed? No!! (Read my review of the Summerfield Suites in Chatsworth for THAT story.) All in all, it was a small, comfortable, relatively clean hotel with a nice workout room, and is also pet-friendly. Definitely a good priceline.com Name Your Own Price deal.\n\n...But was it really four stars the way it's being billed? Umm, probably not. Their pool is literally the size of a deck of cards, and the spa has a capacity of 9. Maybe this would be ok in San Diego, but VEGAS?! Aside from gambling, what *else * can you do in 110 degree heat other than visit the pool? Not very well done, Westin. I appreciate that they tried to gussy it up with a live DJ and a few lovehandled cocktail waitresses (nice attempt, Starwood), but when you can only have about 30 people anywhere around the pool at a given time, it's hardly worth it. If you have a car, go sneak into the Wynn, like we did.\n\nI was also EXTRAORDINARILY happy hat it's a non-smoking hotel. I didn't have to wake up each day smelling like death. Yay!\n\nOne last thing -- don't let the Westin people pull their $10/day \"hotel services\" scam on you. If you book through Priceline, THAT is the negotiated total. So when you're ready to check out and you see that the staff have surreptitiously slipped a billing notice of $10/day for \"hotel services,\" march your Vegas-sunkissed ass downstairs and (nicely) demand to be told the meaning of the letter, and then sweetly but firmly refuse to pay it. Because it's bullshit. And price gouging.  They just hope you're too drunk and/or hung-over to notice. They'll probably tell you \"ok we'll waive it, but JUST THIS ONCE,\" and you say ok, and then remind yourself not to stay there again. Either way, your righteous negotiating will at least save you some money if you're staying anything longer than one night.
