Many times I wish I could open my window at the various casinos I frequent, but I realize they are locked for a very good reason. The idea of having a terrace with your room is a very good one, especially in a town as glitzy as Vegas, however, I'm pessimistic about the outcome of these terraces.


Hotel windows aren't locked because of suicides. Rather, it is because of one of the major plagues in this country - lawsuits.
Same old story - guy gets drunk and starts screwing around on balcony or near open window and accidentally mains himself or falls to his death. Even though it was his fault, hotel gets slapped with lawsuit.
I'd love to be able to open my window or have a deck to enjoy, but the greedy lawyers have ruined that.

Well,
the greedy lawyers haven't hit Imperial Palace.
You get a 3 foot balcony.
Glass sliding doors let you out to a sweet pool view.
Last time, there; I slept w/ it open and enjoyed the cool night fresh air every night.
major perk of that place..

That's the only perk right? I've heard nothing but bad things about the rooms @ IP.

The art at City Center is great, I love the "water wall" by the Aria valet and the boat sculpture is the coolest.



Unfortunately, it's the best thing about Aria ....

We stayed at the Aria in September and were very impressed with the rooms and the staff.....more than accomodating. The buffet was also very delicious. We truly enjoyed all the art - spent a lot of time just appreciating the details. The Aria casino had fun slots and we took home all the money we came with plus more! We visited with slot attendants on more than one occasion....they always took time to visit and answer our questions. Everyone we met, from the front desk staff, to the servers in the restaurants, to the valets were super, super friendly. We're looking forward to our next visit in May 2011.
I agree 100% with devossr. We were there in September as well and thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. I can't remember the name of the 24hr. restaurant, but they had the best coffee there.
Just got back from staying at the IP...our sliding door was locked from the outside and had a sticker on it with something that summed up as "This door is locked for yours and the safety of others" and wasn't able to open it. Of course it was just to the driving area and not for view but would have been nice for fresh air. I also remember reading last year of a guy at Circus Circus falling out of a window to his death because he tried smoking outside his window. That is the problem, the windows would be nice and the terraces...but the hotels/casinos have learned..."Never underestimate the stupidity of others..."
so what do you want from cosmo and city center? Do they have to be "theme" resorts for you to like them? I think cosmo is attractive from the front with the front built out on the upper levels. Does Wynn have something special with the appearance from the street????
Glad to see the theme's disappearing. I was disappointed with CCenter during construction and not a huge fan now but they are basically just high rise hotels?

cosmo casino has a cool vibe to it that I enjoyed. Aria was a "warm" feeling with the color combos and I also enjoyed it.
