From reception it was only a five minute walk to the elevators, then up to our room, #33008, which is a good indication of the size of the place, since it's my first zip code sized room number. The hotel's 6,000 rooms are arrayed along three massive hallways that radiate outwards from the central elevator banks. Since you spend a good chunk of the day walking these massive halls, it's nice that they're actually attractive: wide, nice oriental carpeting and well done terracotta patterned walls. The room was quite sizeable, with a great view over the Strip. The materials, fabrics etc were definitely high quality, but luxe definitely won over the Tuscan theme yet again here. Other than using higher quality fabrics, the rooms looked very American business hotel chain, and the beige color scheme never flatters any room. But it was big and comfortable, and with three bathrooms for two people, there's never a wait!
