This is a fine hotel for a single businessman. It's not geared to women or couples, and certainly not children. It's blasted all over that it's a totally non smoking hotel, which is why we stayed there, and yet, as soon as you walk out into the small pool area, people are smoking like chimneys right next to the door. There is very little sun on the pool and no ambiance whatsoever. The room was comfortable, great bed and linens, but pretty boring. Only mirror outside of bathroom was inside closet. Didn't eat at restaurant because I checked the room service menu and it was outrageously overpriced. $4.oo for yoghurt. The main problem I had, though, was that I requested a handicapped room and the bathroom was so poorly designed that it totally flooded when you showered, so I was standing in 2" of water (don't dare dry your hair-but no mirror in bedroom) out of the shower and I'm very unsteady already having just had hip surgery. I called down tothe front and was immediately moved to a more easily accessible room. I've also spoken directly to Marriott management and and they were very concerned and helpful. All in all, everyone at this hotel was really nice, especially the doormen, and the rooms were comfortable, but they need better, more reasonably priced food, , a smoke free pool, and more tourist amenities. It is Vegas, after all.

Recent trip marked a third stay at this15-story hotel. It is located about two blocks off The Strip, next to the Convention Center and the Hilton. If you prefer to get some exercise, the Wynn (North Strip) is an approximate 20 minute walk from the property. Lovely rooms with lux comforter, flatscreen tv, and Starbucks coffee. Free parking (as is true in most of LV). Friendly staff.

More a business hotel than a vacation property though. Pool is not in a secluded location – rather right off the lobby and receives heavy viewing traffic. Internet service is expensive. Nice alternative though to the louder, casino-oriented places.

This hotel was a nice surprise as I am not so familiar with Renaissance hotels. Rooms were tastefully decorated, requested early check-in which they nicely accomodated, had a terrific lunch in the Envy restaurant , staff very pleasant. Club lounge above average. Only downside is the pool area - nice enough but quite small and the area pretty much loses any sun after around 1pm when the buildings block it. Good place to stay for business and avoid distractions of the casinos - but the casinos are easy enough to get to - there is a monorail stop across the street from the hotel at the Convention Center which goes all the way down the Strip. If you like sushi, try Shibuya or Sushi Roku - both great - but bring your wallet (or your winnings!)

We used Marriott points to stay 5 nights at this hotel and was pleasantly surprised. First, we were not expecting much since it would be our first stay "off" of the strip. We got a 12th floor room overlooking the Wynn Golf Course and the strip. The customer service was terrific and room service was better than we have had at other Marriott properties. We appreciated the quiet, the lack of a casino, and never having to wait for a taxi. The rooms were well decorated and the beds very very comfortable. It would be nice if the flat panel TV was mounted a little higher than just sitting on the dresser. Taxi costs were usually $8 to the Palazzo or Mirage. The onsite restaurant, Envy, was also very nice. Located next to the convention center with a monorail station, this hotel would be perfect for business travelers. This was a pleasure trip for us so it did not matter.
