Las Vegas August 19 - 22, 2014

The Strip from the High Roller

We just returned from a short Vegas vacation for my birthday!  We flew out of LGB on JetBlue and stayed at the new Cromwell hotel on the strip.  While we had some good food and fun on this trip I would not stay at the Cromwell again.  Our hotel room was small and dark and we had a view of the hotel loading dock.  In addition our room was very noisy at night because of the nightclub on the roof of the hotel.  The service at the hotel was not great, for example we were told that turndown service was done each night but we only got it one night of our three -night stay.  There are so many great hotels in Vegas and the Cromwell did not live up to our expectations.

The trip itself was outstanding!  We ate at some great restaurants such as Giada’s new Italian place and we had a great steak dinner at Cut.  We enjoyed a spectacular view from the new High Roller and saw the Michael Jackson show at Mandalay Bay.  All in all we had a great time in Sin City!
