Overall, I had a very relaxing stay here. The lack of a casino full of desperation juxtaposed with proximity to Fashion Show mall and a view of the strip gave this hotel a more calming atmosphere vs the resort experience.

The staff is incredibly helpful. They are respectful, kind, and detail oriented. They helped out with any issue we had. The Valet was extremely professional.

The rooms are comfortable and spacious.

The decor is a bit stark, but well executed and logically laid out. The gold overtones are a bit garish on the outside and the lobby, but they don't give off a cheap vibe. The elevators are clean and fast. Little things like taller toilets, larger showers, and excellent appliances in the kitchen were a welcomed touch.

The DJT restaurant is good, with the Wagyu Beef being spectacular. The decor is dated and could use refreshing and is definitely a bit of a mood killer as you wonder about the colour and fabric choices. The drinks were well poured and tasted great. The servers are professional. On this visit, I was a bit surprised at the music selection (sounded like SiriusXM's BPM), and it was a bit loud and annoyingly kept cutting out. Mentioning it to our server revealed a longer term issue with this that even annoyed them. This is something I wouldn't expect from a Michelin star restaurant.

I did worry about security given some of the political climate in the US currently, but there was plenty of checks.

Overall, this condo style hotel was a key part in a relaxing week trip. Keeping politics out of this as the employees aren't part of it, the place is amazingly well run and I'd stay again.

Edit. It took all of 30 minutes before the politically motivated silly comments came my way. I put politics aside when staying here and reviewed this as a hotel, and the staff as service industry professionals. My review reflects the hard working women and men who made this stay enjoyable. As in all hotels, the Frontline staff make the difference. Respect them. This is not about politics.
