Westgate Las Vegas Resort and Casino

First, the location is amazing if you are going to a convention at the convention center. Second, the first floor facilities (meeting rooms, restaurants, casino, shops) are nice even if not my style. But the rooms feel like it's the last weekend before they will be remodeled. All of my colleagues had a similar experience. I was given a massive room but it was mostly vacant. There were two bathrooms but they had 90s style finishes. The wallpaper and some of the carpet looked worn. The blinds were motorized and had a paper sign telling people not to pull on the curtains but there was no switch to open or close them so they just stayed 80% closed day and night. It was impossible to find light switches in the room - probably because my room had been remodeled (weirdly). However, this doesn't mean you shouldn't stay here. My room was always impeccably clean, the AC worked (once I figured it out), the other staff was efficient and non-invasive, and it was quiet. I'm hoping that it's about to be remodeled because I don't know anyone who got a room that looks like the picture above. If the price is right and you are going to a convention, this is a perfectly acceptable place to stay. Even with my complaints, if I'm going to a convention in Vegas again, I'll start by looking here.

We stayed here at the same time a Celtic Soccer Supporters group stayed. Many were constantly drunk (many at the bar starting in the mornings), wandered around sweaty with their shirts off, monopolized the pool, one even walked around with a bullhorn yelling obscenities, then to top it off, they pulled the fire alarm in the middle of the night which led to a loudspeaker IN OUR ROOM blaring about an alarm being set off. Someone could literally have a heart attack due to this behavior. Why they are allowed so stay, we can't imagine. Also, twice we had to go all the way down to the lobby because our keys suddenly stopped working, and since there doesn't seem to be enough elevators to accommodate the number of guests, it was a ten-minute ordeal each trip up or down. No coffeemaker. $4 a bottle water. Tissue thin enough to read a book through. Construction going on in the room overhead. Awful.
