This hotel is beautiful (if you don't go into a room).  I try to not write bad reviews but this has to be said...The hotel itself is wonderful, the forum shops are very nice and it has a great appeal because it is smack in the center of the strip. HOWEVER, when we stayed there last Christmas (Dec 2007)  it was less than impressive.  We went there to get away for the holidays.  The hotel didn't have our room ready so we checked our bags in with the bellmen.  No problem we were a bit early.  When we did get our room is was enormous.  Now you are thinking wow that's great.  Well that would be great if they didn't furnish it like it was the size of a closet.  It was so sparsely decorated it was odd. The room was very dated and warn like it seemed the last time someone remodeled it was when Elvis headlined in Vegas.  The bed was NOT comfortable and the linens seemed past their prime.  Ok so let me move on to the bathroom.  In a word....Disgusting. You have a white marble bathroom the least you can do is keep it clean.  The white marble is very dated aswell.   The touch-up painting was done by someone who apparently was painting with their left foot.  The towels were like sandpaper (and white towels should NOT have stains on them!!!! Use your imagination to figure that one out). \nIt was so busy for Christmas and the hotel was actually sold out.  When we were checking in this fiercely dressed woman and her husband were complaining and wanted their room changed. Hmmm...I should have taken a tip. So when they were unable to get their room changed we didn't even bother to ask when we got to our room.  We thought we cold deal with it since we figured we wouldn't spend that much time there.  I know stupid.  \nSo we just went back to Vegas and what do we see?  A new tower being built for Caesars.  Ummm How about fixing what you currently have???
