| Las Vegas Hilton - great improvements! |
| I have stayed at the Hilton numerous times, but during my January '06 stay, I saw numerous improvements. The new owners are doing a multi-million dollar remodelling which is nearing completion. All items completed, in my opinion, are well done. Beautiful flooring has been installed, the bar area in the casino has been redone - it was badly needed - the old configuration was in the way of traffic flow, and the old breakfast/bagel, etc. place is getting redone as well.
I have always found the rooms comfortable at the Hilton - I stayed in the North tower, although it was almost in the Central tower - just a few rooms down the hall. With its Trefoil design, location of your room is very important - good location depends on floor, tower, etc - central tower is one just off lobby, with north entrance nearest garage and main self parking. East tower is on the end near the sports book - have never stayed in that section.
I stayed on a great rate through, of all things, continentalvacations.com - less than $50 a night - and much to my surprise, they gave me a coupon at check in for a $25 promotional chip.
Ate at Garden of the Dragon during my stay and enjoyed it thoroughly - although priced a bit above most Chinese restaurants, the food is always most enjoyable here.
The Hilton is located on Paradise Rd., just a LONG block east of the strip at Riviera Blvd. It is right on the Monorail - the stop is right in front, not far away like at some stops. I always rent a car when in Vegas, and find that the Hilton is a great location for me to scoot up and down Paradise, coming up from behind to my destinations on the Strip.
I would recommend it to anyone. |
