Arrived on a Thursday afternoon and booked in very quickly. We were offered an upgrade to a room overlooking the pool and with a view of the fountains which we accepted. The price for this included continental breakfast, hors-d'oeuvre's and two alcoholic drinks per day for two people.
The room was nothing special but absolutely fine for what we wanted, the only problem was that there wasn't enough storage space for three people so we couldn't unpack properly.
We were supplied with fresh towels each day and the beds were made. Don't touch anything in the mini bar or you will most likely get charged!
The hotel was ideally located and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to be central on the strip.
We took our 19yr old daughter and this proved to be a bit of a problem, they are very strict on under 21yr olds and she was not even allowed to stand still in a casino - she had to keep on walking. Also some of the restaurants/bars wouldn't let her in not even for a soft drink, this we thought was quite unreasonable. We were waiting to go and see a show one night and had 30mins to spare, when we asked if we could come in for a drink we were told by two young girls on the door of one restaurant that we couldn't and that "People shouldn't bring children to Las Vegas"! It's funny because whenever it came to buying tickets or paying entrance fees she was classed as an adult and had to pay adult prices.
The other problem was back at the hotel with the free breakfast etc., if my daughter came in for breakfast we had to pay $10 for her. She is on a gluten free diet so we supplied her own bread and she only had that toasted and some pineapple so it was rather expensive but still we paid it. The same evening she wanted to come in with us while we were having a drink, we were told that she would have to pay $10 again, we explained that we had already paid $10 that morning and that she didn't even want a drink, couldn't eat the food and just wanted to sit with us and we were told that we would still have to pay. We refused and he threatened to call his supervisor, we told him to go ahead but no-one came - we weren't charged but I wonder if all that fuss was really necessary.
We went to see several shows; Mamma Mia (excellent), Tournament of the Kings (very good, meal included but was a bit rushed), Extreme Magic (excellent tricks involving live tigers, show was only 1hr long so not particularly good value for money but worth seeing), The Blue Man Show (excellent - very different - again worth seeing), Anthony Cools Hypnotist (excellent - a bit rude). You can get discounted tickets on the day of the shows at the Coke bottle on the strip.
We took the grand canyon sunset helicopter flight, we really enjoyed the trip and the sight of the strip at night was breathtaking.
My husband and daughter went on the Insanity ride at the Stratosphere - they loved it - I was too chicken! We walked there from the Paris - my advice - take the monorail!!
All in all we had a great time.
P.S. Freemont Street light show is well worth the visit!
