During a quick weekend trip to Vegas, we spent Sunday night at the Renaissance Las Vegas Hotel.
We chose this hotel to stay near friends who were at the Wynn, while using our annual free night from the Marriott Rewards® Premier Credit Card.This hotel was a great choice. Just two blocks from The Strip, we loved this sleek, non-smoking, non-gaming hotel. The lights behind the check-in change colors frequently.
Thanks to Mr. Jones’ Platinum status with Marriott, and a terrific staffer at the front desk, we were given Room 832 when our previously assigned room wasn’t ready.
Room 832 is right by the elevator – usually not a good location. We were shocked when we opened the door to this….mural.
Here’s a full panoramic view of the dramatic sitting room in Suite 838. There’s a guest bathroom just as you enter the room.
We opened the curtains, and waved across the golf course to our friends at the Wynn.
One more look; we felt like we should be throwing a party.
In the bedroom, we found a very comfy bed, with smooth, cool-to-the-touch fine cotton sheets.
A nice armoire for clothes, flat screen tv and desk with a sleek chair for cranking out a little work.
Here’s the view out of the bedroom window. The Renaissance Las Vegas is near the Convention Center and the Monorail runs right by the front of the hotel.
There are nice little design touches throughout the room.
Notice the image in the headboard.
The bathroom tub is deep and luxurious.
Plus, a glass shower and toilet in a separate room.
The open lobby has lots of comfortable space to hang out, and a terrific bar/restaurant called Grill 55. We enjoyed a late lunch of small plates at the bar after check-in.
This is the pool/outdoor area, which we did not use but seemed a little small.
Our Bottom Line on the Renaissance Las Vegas Hotel:
- We loved this hotel and would stay again for business or for fun.
- It’s a terrific location near the Strip, but away from all of the crowds and craziness.
- We appreciated that it is non-smoking and ding, ding, ding-casino free.
- The staffing – from the front desk to the bar to the front door – is terrific.
- Suite 832 is spectacular! We’d never have expected this kind of an upgrade on a free award night.
- The pool might be a little small, if that is important to your stay.
