Spent 3 nigts at the Renaissance for a buisness meeting in the Copa Room. Firstly this is a warm city , as soon as you step off the plane you feel the dry heat.The hotel is close to the airport $12 taxi ride. Check in was good for me . I was on the 4th floor with a view over the city and mono rail. (No noise)The rooms are spacious , beds are great and there is an excellent power shower (no bath).
We had breakfast and lunch in our meeting room and both were excellent. Fresh coffee and tea were readily available and soft drinks in the afternoon. There is a gym in the hotel , which has the usual machines and there is an outdoor pool , which is not the best I've seen , but this is more of a buiness hotel than resort hotel,
The mono rail station is a short walk away from the hotel and the porter will get you taxi in minutes. Mono rail is best value and a chance to see the city. The hotel has chilled water available in the foyer during the day , but not at night , when I was looking for it. The bar in the hotel was never busy , whilst I was there and the staff often (annoyingly) ask if you want another drink. Las Vegas strip is full of hotels with casinos (what it is famous for) there are machines everywhere and smoking is permitted in them , so no smoke free zone. The streets are full of people offering leaflets for girls to your room and they click the cards as you pass from early evening to late.
The hotels on the strip are 5 stars and look impressive. There is a lot of high rise building work going on in the strip. Even at 11pm it is still sticky hot , so shorts are the order of dress.

Back to the hotel , there are no shops nearby and the shopping Mall is about 2 miles away. Get a taxi to it (Boulvard Mall) for Macy's , JC Penn etc.

I've seen Las Vegas and probably won't be back but if I did I would stay at this hotel. No casino or machines and smoke free!!

My husband and I stayed at this hotel at the end of June. I knew as soon as we set foot in this hotel that we were in for a treat. The doorman greeted us with a smile and the porter took our luggage to our room with impeccable politeness but in a friendly fashion. Throughout our stay, the staff could not do enough for us. The hotel itself was scrupulously clean in all areas and our room had a wonderful view of the golf course with its huge green expanse. The only downside is that it is off the strip, at the northern end, which was not much fun in soaring temperatures, when we had to go out and walk about fifteen minutes to get to the Strip, as the monorail does not operate in that area. There is a very good cafe inside the hotel that serves cereals, fruit, etc. The hotel restaurant, Envy Steakhouse, was a lovely experience with beautifully cooked, mouthwatering food.

Went for a 2 1/2 day business meeting. Great service. Nice people (the doorman even got me change for a hundred so that I could pay the cab). The room, was clean, comfortable and serviceable. Off the strip (which I liked) but just a few minutes walk to the convention centre monorail station. Well-equipped fitness centre.

My wife and I booked the Renaissance for $90 on Priceline, which seemed like a great deal but was an overall fair price for this property. It was conveniently located, the rooms were ordinary business-hotel rooms, and the staff was pleasant.

I did not, however, appreciate that the hotel lacked a shuttle to/from the airport, which meant we had to hire a cab for $15 + tip, and the hotel charged $12.99 for Internet access in the rooms and lobby. These factors quickly diminished the value of our quick and inexpensive trip to Vegas, as did the over-hyped but mediocre pool area. It's an average hotel pool (not resort style), although the hotel's website would make you think it's a major focal point.

I gave the property 3 stars. We experienced no problems at all, but the hotel was a little less than we anticipated. It's probably much more appropriate a hotel for conventioneers than tourists. But we did appreciate the freedom of walking to the monorail and traveling on $11 daily passes. This was much better than relying on taxis to get to the strip.
