![]() I am pleased to say it was one of the best times of our lives! Our group consisted of 6 very picky 30-year-old mom's. One of my best friends is getting married so we decided to do a girls night out/sleepover at The Artisan. I'm usually looking for more of an experience than just a place to stay. ![]() The huge, corporate-owned hotels are often a turn-off. Not me, ever again.Īs a native Las Vegan, I consider myself a picky person when it comes to staying in a hotel. If thats your thing then the Artisan is for you and you will have a great time. I felt like this was a big time night club that happens to have a hotel attached. ![]() Staff seemed pretty nice and had that "you dont know what you are in for" look when I checked in. Do not come here to sleep, it cant be done. The complimentary ear plugs (I'm not kidding) are a nice touch but barely take the edge off. All day by the pool, all night until 6am. OMG! This was the loudest club music I have ever heard. After several hours they could not do it so we had to move back to the cigarette smelling room. After moving to the new room, the toilet was stopped up so maintenance came and tried to unclog it. Checked into my room and it reeked of fresh cigarette smoke so I went back to the desk and asked for another room. That is about all the nice things I have to say. Art everywhere, statues and a very cool ambiance. The place is unlike any other hotel I have ever stayed at. I am a 50 something married guy who stayed there for my daughters wedding. It serves a specific purpose for a certain demographic of people. If the price is right and I want to party. If you want sleep, ask for a room away from the bar. WTF? Yes, the bar downstairs is loud so bring earplugs. But they did have AMC going on in the bar. And the worse part of this was that "Breaking Bad" had a new episode premiering that night and the TV didn't have AMC. It wasn't that interesting and there were a lot of characters, about ten, that you had to keep track of. And after watching for a few minutes, I was bored. It didn't leave a lot to the imagination. Yeah, that's what it was, a European art film. It was kind of like watching a European art film. It's in standard definition so the picture is cropped. I think it's the same program looped over and over. As a younger man, I would have been really excited to watch this channel no matter what. There's a specific channel that is, ahem, "special". So there's a TV with the hotel channels on them. ![]() Which brings me to the weird part of the review. I'm sure they were waiting or maybe their buddies were getting lucky but it's a little strange to see strangers passed out on the floor chairs by the elevators. Elevators that you need a key to get up to your rooms. Because it is Vegas, I found two different people passed out in the chairs by the elevator floor lobby. If you have a laptop, smartphone, etc, then definitely bring a power strip. In fact, the alarm clock plug was so big, it blocked the other outlet. While the room is unique, my one big issue is the lack of electrical outlets. But my quibbles, while minor, have me knocking this down to three stars. I got a great price through TripAdvisor on a Sunday night so there's that. ![]()
