Review from Gabe A.
Moreno Valley, CA
2/20/2012 4 Check-ins Here
Friday morning, Dec. 30th, I decided to take my family to Vegas. Everyone thought I was crazy and everyone told me I could not get a decent room or pay at least $300 a night on a sleezy hotel. Well, I wanted to prove family wrong and was glad I was able to do that with the help of Marriott Rewards Membership. I booked rooms at this hotel the very same day we are checking in for a little over $100 a night, that's gov't employee rate by the way.
Location - 3.5 stars. About few blocks from the strip. Right next to the convention center. Few minutes walk to the monorail system, $12 for an all day pass if you prefer not to drive around town. We used this system to beat the holiday (New Years eve weekend) rush. This hotel is situated in a clean, well lit and safe neighborhood.
Lobby - 4 stars. Spacious with comfortable and updated furnitures. There's a warm, open and inviting feel to it. They have a bar setup in the middle for a quick drink or bite, and a conveniet albeit expensive steakhouse restaurant in the back. There's another small cafe on the right end corner, which is again convenient yet somewhat pricey. I'm one who would pay for convenience sake so the price was not much of an issue to me.
Room - 4 stars. A good size room with clean and updated furnitures, LCD TV w/ gaming system, mini fridge and etc. The bed was comfortable. Sheets top quality. Doubled curtain that keeps the room dark for those who want to sleep in. Sound proofing in our room was also adequate. The bathroom was clean and new. I am very wary of one yelper who mentioned that his bathroom was moldy. Our bathroom was LIKE-NEW and no molds. Plus, the shower is totally separate from the tub. We never had clogging issue here. In fact, my toddler had a bubble bath in the tub with no issues. The water drained swiftly when unplugged. The tub was shiny clean - I would not let my son have a bubble bath in a dirty tub!
Parking - 5 stars. They have a complimentary valet parking. Very rare to find this kind of complimentary service in any hotel nowadays. Parking usually runs $12-$25/daily. So even if you tip the valet attendants, it's still a steal.
Services - 5 stars. The host/hostess who checked us in was very friendly and professional. There was a lot of people lining up to check in but they were very efficient. They did not look frazzled considering all the guest arriving to check in all at the same time. It was the New Years eve weekend afterall. They look like they have everything under control and they did; gracing us with sincere smiles at the same time. Another rarity nowadays. A big thank you to Mika, who accommodated my request and gave us a room that is overlooking the Vegas strip. So during new years celebration, we just opened the curtain and enjoyed the entire fireworks. We woke up our toddler to experience the fireworks and he was truly ecstatic to see all the lights - without the anxiety of the over blaring/loud sounds.
Pool - 4 stars. Smartly designed outdoor pool (heated) and jacuzzi. I decided to take my son to see their pool area one chilly evening so I bundled him up. However upon entering the poolside, I noted that the temperature seemed nice and warm all over the area, despite it being outdoor. And this is because they have plenty of heatlamps all over the pool area - cleverly placed, I might add. This made the area consistently warm in addition to the heated pool. Had I known this beforehand, I would have had my son and I dip in their pool. But alas, it was our last night and we did not bring any swimwear. Who would have thought to take a toddler swimming in an outdoor pool during winter time. So now, you know...
Another added bonus: This hotel have a NON-SMOKING POLICY and there is no casino in the premises. This can be a disadvantage to others but if you have kids and want a quiet, peaceful hotel in Las Vegas, then this one is definitely for you.
I will definitely be staying here again when I'm in the area. -

The Renaissance line of Marriott never disappoints. Close to the convention center, which is convenient for the business traveler. Club Lounge was spacious and well-appointed with beverages and snacks. Bonus that it's a smoke-free property and does not have a casino. Aveda products, nice towels (I appreciate a GOOD towel), comfortable bed and decent bar/lounge.
Little bummed that the pool was tiny and only got sun from 10am to 1:30pm. The pool area was often booked after 3pm for private parties, which was annoying if you wanted to get some fresh air and check email. -

I came in for a business trip and stayed for three nights. Since my last stay in August I noticed changes at the check in and sitting area's in the lobby. I like the newly added classic black & white pictures each floor.
The staff at the entire hotel are super friendly - especially at the club level lounge.
You won't find gaming here and it takes minuets to get to you room unlike the bigger hotels on the strip.7 Previous Reviews: Show all »

The monorail being across the street is so convenient that it doesn't make much difference that this hotel isn't on the strip. (By the way, I LOVE that thing, it looks like a space ship and makes me feel like I'm on a scifi show -- except all the drunks make it feel a little less so..)
There's no casino here, and it's pretty quiet. Walking through the lobby I saw men in business suits and it was a Saturday, so I'm just gonna assume this is a hot spot for people visiting for meetings or other business opportunities. The coffee shop and restaurant are pretty cool, but the overall vibe of this place was stuffy.
It was a huge difference from traveling down to the strip and being surrounded by crazy drunk party people (I mean that as a compliment; have a great time in sin city, folks!) who were very lively and loud. This hotel is quiet and maybe even peaceful, except for the aforementioned stuffy atmosphere. -

Managed to score this place several times using Priceline and I've never been disappointed. Absolutely beautiful hotel and no casino downstairs so it's relatively quiet and you don't end up smelling like an ashtray by the time you reach your car. Every time I go to Vegas I hope to stay here though I'm not always so lucky.

Great hotel, I can't wait to stay here again when I'm in Vegas. First off, the coffee shop serves Illy coffee. The showers are great for tall people (yes, I said shower, not a shower tub, although there was a tub too). The bed was very comfy.

I am hesitant about writing a review of Renaissance Las Vegas only because I would like to keep this find to myself. My take on this little gem is this: Convenient location (next to the convention center & a very short ride to the infamous Las Vegas strip action). As of this writing, spotless clean, quiet, non smoking, non gaming. Friendly staff. I love that it is small as hotels go in Las Vegas. Easy to get around, no long walks from the lobby or parking area, unlike the large mall/
gaming hotel casinos a few blocks away. It is a little retreat from the gaudy strip. There were a couple of negative reviews regarding "thin walls" and noise, tho that was not my experience at all. Not family friendly...your kids will die of boredom here. Not THE place to see or be seen. Boring, really. But after a busy day, a pleasant retreat. At 5am, I could just barely hear snoring in the room next door, and the hushed flow of central air conditioning. Pretty quiet, but not silent. And not Motel Six by a long shot. The surrounding area outside the hotel feels perhaps a bit scary. Las Vegas is one of those places which has places of opulence, surrounded by seedier places. Not unsafe exactly, just not what I am used to. During our stay, my spouse experienced a "broken nail emergency" just before we were leaving the hotel for an evening at the nearby Wynn. I found a CVS a mile down the road where I was able to buy the "tools" necessary to repair her broken nail, thus rescuing the evening. However, the CVS pharmacy located in a strip mall seemed to be a hangout for some doubtful characters (pan handlers, etc.). That has nothing to do with the Renaissance, as the CVS pharmacy was a mile from the hotel.... a separate & interesting story by itself. Hope you enjoy your uneventful & boring stay at the Renaissance as much as I enjoyed my own. -

The place is not only spacious and welcoming, the staff is great and gives you the option of having a feather-free room. The restaurant in the hotel has great lobster mac and cheese and accommodates the guests for special occasions. The cost of stay is pretty much average, it's a little off the strip, but fairly close to the airport. There's always plenty of parking in the parking structure too, even though they have free valet parking. One of the best hotels I've stayed at that doesn't cost an arm and a leg!

Came here for a 2-Night Stay with my boyfriend for New Years 2012 countdown. We were lucky enough to get a room here.
Very nice view and clean hotel, polite staffs and the bed was so comfy as well. They offered Aveda body lotion, shampoo, conditioner and soap - very high quality bath products!
We had to walk back here from the strip after countdown since we weren't be able to get a taxi everywhere. However, it was not too bad; we used about 1.5hrs for the walk.
Great stay! -

There are many reasons why I would give this hotel 5 stars: it's far away from the hoards of drunk tourists; it's close to one of my favorite LV restaurants, Firefly; it's a short walk away from the best sportsbook I've been to in the LV Hilton; the ultimate reason though would be because, the beds are so comfortable. It's always about the beds when it comes to hotels. Always!
If you're looking for a little quiet time in Las Vegas then a hotel like the Renaissance is what your looking for. A great hotel for a peaceful stay in LV. There's also a nice steakhouse in the premises and a small cafe-like place for a few necessaries like drinks, sandwiches, etc. There's also a nice little pool area that's a sweet place to hangout at. The pool is a little small but the decor of the area makes up for it. I like the fact the amenities are Aveda products. The beds are incredible. I haven't slept so fast and comfortably in years. There's tons of parking for your rental or car also. If you decide to just stay in your room there's almost 100 channels at your fingertips including an HBO package...nice! I'd love to stay here again, but they don't comp because there isn't a casino...ahhh, peace and quiet! -

The facility adjoins the Las Vegas Convention Center making it an extremely convenient option while attending events.
While it is not on the Strip, it is close enough that you can be there within minutes, or enjoy life without all the chaos.
The rooms are clean spacious and well appointed.
I found the restaurant and in-room dinning to be very wonderful.
The staff did an excellent job throughout my stay making me feel welcomed & appreciated.
Parking is convenient & free.
Overall I was very happy with my stay. I would highly recommend this hotel and will definitely stay here on any future trip. -

I enjoyed staying here. The service was excellent. The hotel's not over the top glamorous like a lot of the other hotels in Vegas. Nevertheless, it was tastefully decorated and modern.
It's not on the strip, but it's located within walking distance from a monorail station. It was perfect for a visit to Vegas.Listed in: Vegas!

Booked two nights here in June. Upon arrival, I was pleasantly surpirsed. I should have known that it would be downhill from there...
Rooms: Small but comfortable; overheard some pretty interesting conversations (plus one star for the freaky couple in the next room) through the paper-thin walls.
Location: Personally, I did not think that the hotel was as close to "the Strip" as everyone made it out to be. Walking 1/2 an hour to 45 minutes in 100+ degree weather to get to the Wynn was just not fun. It was an especially interesting walk at night... we will just leave it at that.
Pool: Small and crowded. Skipped it!
Dining/Bar: The food at the small restaraunt (Envy I think it was called) was actually good - but then again, we only had small bites, appetizers, and booze. [note: the french fries are served on a plate the size of my coffee table]. Late night bar atmosphere was low-key and fun, but then again, that could have been due the crazy and awesome girl I met from Oakland there. I digress. The little coffee bar (near the parking garage) should, on the other hand, be closed down. I've made better breakfast paninis in my college dormroom. I want my $20 back.
Final thought: I guess it is not a bad place to just crash, but nothing more. Personally, I ditched this place after one night and booked the Vdara for my final night. Best Vegas decision yet! -

I stayed at the Renaissance for two nights this past weekend. The staff were exceptionally courteous and helpful. Check in was quick an easy.
The room looked nicer in person than in pictures I saw online. It was very clean, nice and modern decor, and the bathroom had a shower and bath tub.
I ordered room service my first night and the food came quickly and was nice and hot. I liked that the hotel didn't have a casino and was off the strip but still close to the strip. The beds were very comfortable and it was nice and quiet throughout my stay. Would love to stay here again if I could get a good rate again. -

Very impressed. This property is a full-service hotel in the Marriott family. Staff are amazingly responsive & service-oriented. Property is bright, clean, & well-cared-for.
There are NO slots and NO casino on the property - that's a big win in my book. If you want those, they are a quick monorail ride away.
This is a NO SMOKING property - FABULOUS policy.
Rooms were quiet, clean, and current.
On-site bar & restaurant were terrific.
The only thing holding my review to 4 of 5 stars was the wifi did not work well in either rooms or conference areas. It was available but did not allow access to our company's Exchange server (though web access was easy). I used my smartphone's tethering feature but other colleagues were very frustrated.
Overall, really great. -

I stayed here for a recent business trip and found it to be a breath of fresh air in otherwise smokey Las Vegas :)
When you go to Vegas for fun, a casino in your hotel is not just fun, it's convenient! You're going for the party and the night life, so that's to be expected. When you go to Vegas for business, all that stuff can be overwhelming when all you want to do is rest and maybe go out for dinner.
The Renaissance is one of the only smoke free hotels in LV, which is AWESOME... it was so nice to not come home reeking like an ash tray and having to re-wash all my laundry. Plus, this was the first time I came home from Vegas and didn't get sick- which if you ask me, speaks volumes of this hotel's cleanliness.
The gym is clean and nice, and has a lovely stocked (free!) fruit bowl and water. The machines are newer, and some even have video screens built in them.
While the steakhouse (Envy) downstairs was raved about, I had no intention on blowing my entire day's food allowance on once meal so I opted for tapas at the bar. I left full and satisfied, and the cost was much more reasonable.
They lose a star for charging so much for wifi and for the thin walls. Saturday night was tough to get to sleep early when our neighbors came home obviously pretty wasted... plus, hearing alarm clocks in other rooms made for earlier mornings than necessary.
I'll happily stay here again any time and would recommend it to either the business traveler or anyone who doesn't want a smokey casino-like hotel. -

The price was very affordable - probably because there was no convention going on the week I was there. If you are going for a convention, the location is very convenient. You're overlooking the parking lot and can easily walk across it to get to the monorail. Also the hotel is about a $15 cab ride from the airport after tip. The check in process is easy and the room is pretty up to date/fashionable. The TV is turned on with a welcome message with your name to make you feel special. There are a few things about the rooms I didn't enjoy -- like the placement of the hooks for towels in the bathroom. It's no where near the shower door.
During my recent stay, I started hearing the jack hammer from the construction workers right in front of the hotel around 9:30pm. By 10:30pm I called the front desk who took a while to answer then longer to resolve the situation. I asked if they knew about the jack hammer problem and they replied, "Yes." Then I asked how long it will go on for. "All night." Another short answer. I explained I had to get up early in the morning with a long pause she asks me to hold. A few songs later, she comes back on the phone and says I can move to another room with no view. Well grant it the view was a parking lot and I was going to bed anyway, it didn't matter. Someone promptly came by to give me my new keys and I was on my way.
+ free wired Internet connection
- the pool is in an awkward position where it's surrounded by glass so everyone's constantly looking in
+/- Envy (restaurant in the lobby): separate review but there's simply not much to envy. -

Lets get this out of the way from jump street: I don't like Vegas & I don't gamble. To me it's nothing other than a desert oasis on the way to Cali. That said, I had an unreal meal @ Island style & this hotel was nice since I don't gamble and I just wanted a bed. I used air miles for the room and they gave me a $25 voucher for breakie.
~ Great bar & bartender. 2 for 1 dirty blue cheese martinis, had me up way later than I wanted with a 5:30 am bail time for the city of Angels.
~ Clean, up to date rooms & the property is in great shape. It looks like it's a year or two old, not the 6 or 7 that it is = they maintain it well.
~ Free parking.
~ No casino is a + for moi.
The bad:
Pay for wifi, really? For shame, for shame. I'm an IT nerd, wifi costs nothing. Here's a tip hoteliers, keep the $25 voucher and gimme the wifi!!!! -

I recently booked a last minute trip to Vegas (May 13 to the 15), and I couldn't find anything on the Strip. I figured the hotel would be a bit old and outdated since its not one of the major ones. But I was wrong.... really wrong. My other friends were staying at the Flamingo, which they innitally claimed was awesome.
Once I checked in, I was upgraded to the 8th floor. The view was decent, but the room was awesome. The furniture, the carpet, the restroom were clean and nice. The staff was super friendly and the hotel itself wasn't loud. Parking was also free. I really think I got a super sweet deal since I only paid about $165.00 for the two nights vs. the $350 my friends paid at the Flamingo.
The only difference is that the swimming pool at the Renaissance is very small, but clean and well maintained. Very good for relaxing or for those with small children or kids under 18. I took my teenage son and he loved it since he wasn't kicked out of the pool whenever there were parties going on. In the end, my friends and their kids ended up coming over to our hotel for the pool. Their kids only had limitted access at the Flamingo and they got tired of trying to figure out the times when the kids would be allowed in.
The hotel is not on the Strip. So, you do have to do some driving to get there. However, I found the distance from the Strip to be far enough as to keep away from the noise. Yet, close enough to get to all of the action in less than 5 minutes. This hotel is awesome for the price and worth a visit. While some of the hotels might be on the Strip, you have to deal with the massive crowds, the noise, and sometimes the bad maintenance they give to their rooms. Not this hotel though. I would definally stay here again and I would recommend it to tourists with children, teenagers or people who love the Vega's ambiance, but who also love to get a good nights rest. -

I've been to the Renaissance before but had never been up to the rooms. My friend had a birthday and invited us up to her room before she went out. The Renaissance is a beautiful hotel! The lobby, restaurant and bar are all very attractive. The room was a little less than pretty. I understand people come to this location primarily for business purposes. The room felt more like a conference room than a hotel room. I didn't go into the bedroom because she had girlfriends changing in there. Hopefully it was a little cozier than the rest of the room.
My favorite part about the Renaissance has to be Envy...this is probably one of my top 5 favorite steakhouses in Las Vegas. It's somewhere no one thinks to go because the location is off the beaten "Strip" path. I would highly recommend it to anyone locally or someone specifically staying in this area. My husband and I agreed we are going back just for dinner! -

ancient chinese proverb: a person who is able to manage his expectations, is a happy person.
this is not the wynn, nor the encore, nor the mgm grand... so don't expect it to be. it is a semi boutique brand, franchisee owned hotel of the marriott system, if you understand what that is, then you will understand why i gave it a 4 star.
first and foremost... there is no casino on campus. which means there is no smoking. no rowdy cowboy hat wearing d-bags from salt lake city, nor skimpily dressed bachelorette party from orange county, or the seemingly lost but pretending not to be lost couple des moines. what you will get is a comfortable, business like hotel, that is quiet, close to the convention center and the monorail.
the room is updated but small. bed is comfortable. well appointed bathroom with a glass shower. plenty of electrical outlets (a pet peeve of mine) in the room. my room over looks the wynn golf course, and the skyline of the strip. the concierge lounge is on the 15th (top) floor, opens on weekday mornings for breakfast, afternoon for hors d'oeuvre, and evening for dessert. one thing i must point out tho, when i visited the lounge on sunday afternoon, the hors d'oeuvre was some of the same items from the brunch buffet. i will give them the benefit of the doubt and not say that they are serving the left overs.
the e.go cafe is what it is, a cafe at a hotel, i wrote a separate review for the ENVY steakhouse, so read up on that....
the renaissance brand use to be owned by ramada, bought by the marriott system in the 90's i believe... although marriott considers this a boutique hotel, it's no JW. but it is a great quiet, business hotel for your non-gaming stay in vegas. so last word? if you want action, stay on the strip and get action... if you want a quiet stay, renaissance is not a bad choice. 3.5 rounds up to 4 stars. -

Loved my short stay here this weekend. The staff from checkin, bartenders, to valet (especially valet!) were great. The bartender Phillip made me a great cucumber agave mojito concoction of his which was amazing! :) What a great first drink of the weekend!
It's a nice alternative to the hotels on the Strip when you don't want the casinos and the smoke to follow you all the way to bed; but want to be close enough to the Vegas experience. Great prices too. -

This place was beautiful! Service is excellent! The front desk associates are so friendly!
If you are planning to go to Vegas and want something away from the Strip, this is a great location! It's something near the Strip but not on the strip so it's nice to be away from all the traffic. -

I really enjoyed my stay at Renaissance. Since I've been going to Vegas often, my boyfriend & I have been trying to hotels with reasonable prices that are close to the strip when MGM isn't having a special. heheh. Anyway, we came across Renaissance. The thing that caught our eye was the great price of around $80 a night even on weekends & a $50 gift certificate to use at ENVY. I say thumbs up to a deal like that!
Renaissance is located right next to the Hilton Las Vegas/Convention Center & so it about a block or two away from the Wynn. The rooms here are a decent size, with enough lounging space for two people. The bathroom was also nice with a tub & a shower. The bed was comfy & the pillows were firm yet fluffy. I felt comfortable staying here and glad I did. We took taxis at night to Venetian...it cost about $10 one way. If you took a taxi to Wynn or Encore it'd probably be a few bucks cheaper. But it was definitely worth it saving the extra hundred bucks on a room & taking a taxi to the strip.
The hotel itself looks really new & modern. I didn't visit the pool area since it was Winter time but it looked nice from what I saw. They also a fitness center for guests to use which was pretty awesome. And we can't forget about the hidden gem here...ENVY steakhouse!!
You can't go wrong staying here. If you don't want to dish out the dough on the stirp, you can always cab it from Renaissance. Plus, you're like a 2 minute elevator ride away from the best steak of your life! -

I would be happy to return to the Renaissance Las Vegas Hotel on another visit to town. If you prefer to stay a little off the strip this hotel would be a perfect spot for you. It's also right off the monorail and just a $10 cab ride to Caesar's Palace.
It has great access to the convention center. It's also ideal for the business traveler as it has a business lounge and additional meeting rooms available for use. The staff here is over and beyond friendly and willing to accommodate their guests. Rooms are nicely appointed and they have a large work out facility.
My only complaint here is the pool area. It's what I call a "make believe" pool that gets very little sun. They also have only one restaurant and if you're staying at the hotel for awhile it would be nice to have a few more options but.....then again the strip is always nearby. -

Except for the lack of wireless wi-fi, which was promised, the place was awesome to stay at. They have a rail station right out front for easy trips to the strip. The Envy steakhouse was great for breakfast & lunch, and I'm sure for dinner, but never tried it at night.
Pool was great, and had a nice layout, but it's not Rehab or any strip pool by any stretch of the imagination.
Room was spacious, clean and the bathroom was massive.
Highly recommend this if you don't mind not having a casino below you. -

My letter to the GM Renaissance Las Vegas!
Hello -
First and foremost let me tell you what an amazing weekend we had @ your hotel. It was absolutely perfect. This doesn't happen to my husband and I very often and so for it to go as smoothly as it did was wonderful. We loved every bit of your hotel, staff and accommodations. We arrived on Friday and due to a prior engagement had almost a midnight check in. My husband ran in to check us in and came back rather quickly. He advised that there was a slight snafu but we were just waiting on mgmnt to get us an upgraded room. In my eyes this was just free water. I was almost in tears. I thought our reservation was lost or even worse. When he came back for the second time and we went to go park - I was still very anxious about the whole thing. Well, when we got to the 12th floor and we opened our room 1232 (BEST ROOM EVER!) I couldn't believe my eyes. We have NEVER been upgraded. Not even for our honeymoon. It rained on our wedding day. :( Anyway I digress. I whipped out my camera and started to take pics immediately. What a fantastic room. So nice. It was bigger then our first apt together. Everything was FANTASTIC!!! The shower, the tub, the bed, that chaise lounger, the furniture, the kitchen and best of all TWO BATHROOMS!!!! WOW. Talk about impressed. As I say upgrades like this one just do not happen to us. We were just so appreciative. Oh! I forgot to mention the free dessert. I still owe our food delivery guy a tip. I don't think he understood what I was trying to tell him when he arrived. It was fantastic. Two days later we are still talking about what an AWESOME time we had. The room was so great. I wish we could have stayed longer. It was a once in a lifetime upgrade and won't soon be forgotten. Loved it. Thank you to your staff and everyone involved in making our weekend one that will be commented on for a very long time. We will certainly be back. -

Stayed here in Vegas for this trip and it is very nice. I am a fan of staying at non-casino hotels here in Vegas to avoid the casino smoke and gamblers. : ) This hotel appears to have been built within the last year or two.
Parking is free and appears safe and secure. Have not tried the food options here and probably will not before I checkout because I am not a hotel foodie.
Service was good checking in and everyone seems friendly. Internet is high speed and is a good value. -

Well the beds and pillows are awesome. The door men are great...the rooms are small...the distance from the strip isn't ideal at all if you wana not walk a long way. Once night comes its a bit sketchy to say the least around the hotel. The bar was cool on night one but for some reason the French (im guessing) bartender decided to tell me my third beer was my last one...really? This is Vegas right? And I'm staying at this hotel mind you...that honestly turned me off from ever going back to this hotel. Sorry but three beers anywhere and being cut off mid Sunday night football? They need a new bartender.

Soooooo
It is very hard to get a 5 star review out of me and I really thought about this one and guess what this is as good as it gets when it comes to service, which is what really matters when you are staying at a property...
Trevor is just amazing...
From an unsolicited ride to another hotel in town to pick up my forgotten goods, to a room upgrade that was unreal... They hit the mark on service!!!
The ladies in the concierge lounge are out of this world and so is the food up there!!!
The view of the Wynn golf course and the strip was amazing as well!!
So close to the monorail!
I am sold on non-gaming lodging from here on out, having had some bad experiences in some of the bigger properties because you become a lost number in the shuffle...
The Renaissance is small enough for the best service possible, and big enough to offer anything you could think of including a great gym on site and tasty fair and great rooms...
Stay here and you will not be disappointed!!!Listed in: Hotels the good the bad and…

We found out about this hotel due to a timeshare spiel I got us lured into. This hotel was one of their "upgrade options", so for an extra $99 we were able to stay here for our 3 nights on the timeshare company.
I must say, this hotel was one of the best discoveries we could have ever made. This place is a non-smoking and non-gaming hotel near the convention center and the monorail. Not terribly convenient for summer time traveling(too hot to walk far,etc).and the other hotels are a $12-$15 cab ride away. These are the only downfalls to this hotel.
The customer service is by far the best I have ever received at a hotel-especially of this caliber. Friendly and helpful to the max. We ordered room service for breakfast every day, it was wonderful. The bed was super comfy with great bedding and plenty of pillows. The water pressure in the shower was better than any I have had while traveling and the bathroom had a separate shower and tub. We had a view of the Wynn's golf course and I would happily stay here again in a heartbeat-even on my own dime!Listed in: Our Vegas Vacation(s)

Blessing in disguise. So my girlfriend was checking out hotels for our trip to Vegas and accidentally booked a hotel without intending to do so. Oops. Renaissance Las Vegas Hotel? What the hell is that? WHERE the hell is that? 3/4 mile from the strip? Noooo!
Wait a second. No casino? Hmm, that means that it will be quieter, cleaner, and it won't take you an hour to navigate out to the street. It's right in front of the monorail so you don't have to deal with cabbies trying to rip you off? Whoa whoa whoa... 24/7 pool and hot tub? SOLD!
So yes, it was a blessing in disguise. The staff was very pleasant for the most part, and everyone was willing to give directions (even if each person gave you different directions). The hotel was clean and 100% smoke free. The rooms were fine, nothing crazy, but they were clean. No view from our window, but the bed was pretty comfortable, there were a few comfy chairs for sitting, a desk with a small LCD tv on it, and plenty of closet space. The bathroom was nice as well, with separate tub/shower and a nice modern feel.
In fact, this was such a blessing in disguise that I have a hard time believing that I will ever stay on the strip again. Would I stay at Renaissance again? Sure, the prices were reasonable, it was clean and quiet, and I loved the 24 hour hot tub access... what better way to wash away the day of dirty casinos, sweaty nightclubs, and the rest of the Vegas filth? I might try another place off of the strip, but all in all the prices are reasonable and it's a solid hotel.
There are nicer hotels in Vegas, and it all depends upon what you want, but if you're looking for a quieter option that doesn't stink like money, smoke and prostitutes, then this is a great option. 4 stars.Listed in: Ryman's Vegas List

For the price paid this was exactly what I wanted. I travel to Las vegas 3x's a year. I do think 4 stars is too high for this hotel and yet because it met my needs so well I'm giving it four stars. Go figure...
Hits
Clean in every way.
Quiet lobby which is rare for Vegas
Quiet hall ways
Nice helpful staff
Close to monorail
Price is right
Soft and firm pillows
Great shampoo
I got access to the internet on my Iphone 4G
Beautiful view of the golf course at the Wynn & of course the Wynn hotel
Room size was good
TV was newer and up to date
Misses
Thin bar soap
Terrible hair dryers
Broken ice machine
Thin walls
Rough towels
Terrible room service menu
Felt like a 3 star hotel from start to finish
Clean goes a long way in my book and my room was clean. Maybe it was newer or the Renaissance has an attentive house keeping staff. We were a part of a larger party mainly based at Harrah's. It was very convenient to walk right outside of the hotel and take the monorail back and forth to the hotel. Overall, we had a great view from the 17th floor and we had a quiet uneventful ;) ;) stay. -

Very nice for the price! I believe it came out to 120 with taxes and fees for one night. As we walked it, we were surprised at how nice it was.
Our room was normal size. The bathroom was fully equiped with separate shower and bathtub and a nice sink area with granite. The flat screen tv was a little lame though. It had a forever response time.
i LOVE how they have Aveda products. WOOT TO THE WOOT! -

I stayed here this weekend along with a few other couples. We always stay at Marriott hotels to get the rewards points. We tried this one out because it was the best price. A lot of people say its only a block to the strip but its longer. What is nice is that the monorail stop is right next door so you can just hop on and off the. They have a 24hour pass for $12.00. The hotel itself was nice and the room was what I expected. The room was quite small compared to other Vegas hotels that I have stayed at.
So after all of this, why the 2 star review? The service sucked. I am very big on service and if I dont get good service then I dont come back. When we arrived it took a while for the valet to appear. We went to check in and the lady behind the counter just appeared busy for about 5 minutes before looking up and saying anything. It took about 15 minutes to pick up the car from the valet and there was no one in front of us.
We didnt have a view of the strip but we werent in the room that much so it really didnt matter.
