Elara info please

Booked flights yesterday for 1/31-2/05 trip using SW Air points to pay for the flights. Not the best time of year for travel, but free flights make a difference. We're looking at staying at Elara in a jr. suite. Does anyone have first hand knowledge about this place? The pictures look good, but sometimes are a little deceiving. What about the parking garage? Is there much walking between the garage and room elevators, etc. Thanks for any info.

Stayed there in 2013, so info a little out of date. Parking is in the Miracle Mile parking not too far off the lobby. The Elara is at the back of the MM shops, a bit of a walk to the strip. The rooms were ok, a bit worn when I stayed there. Lots of time share sales people working the lobby. Wasn't terrible but would stay at other hotels if the price was the comparable.

It's really nice there. There's a certain floor in the garage you should park on and then you can walk right into the lobby of the Elara. We didn't know this the first time and walked into the Miracle Mile mall with our suitcases to check in. I forget what floor it is. Sorry. I'd guess the 3rd but it's only a guess. There is a smoking area between the parking garage and just outside the Elara lobby doors so you have to navigate that gauntlet. The prime parking spots near the lobby door fill up quickly. If you do manage a prime parking spot, it's only about 30 yards from your car to the room elevators. If someone in your party has a mobility issue, you can drop them off right by the exit of the parking garage and it's a short walk to the elevators. (Once you figure out where in the parking garage this is.)

I'd stay there again.

It was purchased by Hilton and put into their Grand Vacations club a couple years ago... All of those properties are nice. There's four of them in Vegas. Elara is the only one I have not stayed in but the other three are among the best rooms I've Had in Vegas. And that location is fantastic.
