Trump Las Vegas Gets a Not So Bad Review

We haven't heard much from the Trump International Hotel and Tower Las Vegas since it opened back in April but this week it scored a fairly positive review in the LA Times from reviewer Valli Herman.

It sounds like business has been slow since opening, as some might have predicted for an off-strip hotel with no casino. But the reviewer is confident that there are enough special features at the Trump to win the guests over in the long term.

For example, when guests arrive they're treated extra-well: doormen with white gloves do the door opening, and in the lobby you get offered a chilled bottle of water and a heated hand towel.

Nice start. The future apparently promises extras like personalized business cards for all travelers, loan computers in their rooms and air-conditioned pool cabanas.

There were a couple of complaints though: housekeeping failed to clean the Herman's room for two consecutive days (ouch!) and the rooms aren't well sound-proofed--the freeway and train noises kept them awake. Sounds like it's worth a stay if you get a cheap rate but otherwise it might be worth holding off until more guests start giving it a bit more atmosphere.

    Feb. 2009 Having just come from a five day stay in Las Vegas at the Trump Hotel I feel I must pass along my comments as well.  Although we didn't come up with any $89.00 deal even though hubby bid on Priceline the room was wonderful! Bed was very comfy, maid service was right on and the view from the 58th. floor overlooking the strip and the Wynn was beautiful.  No warm towel or bottle of water upon arrival but there were two complimentary bottles of water in our room everyday.  Since we had a mini kitchen in our suite I searched out a grocery store (the consierge was so kind to print out a map) and purchaced some fruit, wine and cheese for our stay.  LOVED the oversized jacuzzi tub with the TV in the mirror.  Robes were also a nice touch.  And although we could hear street noise even on the 58th. floor it was not a problem at all.  Staff was wonderful and attentive but beware they hit our credit card for $800 for incidentals the day we checked in!!! My husband spoke to the front desk regarding this as we were not informed of this "little" transaction & they said they do that to cover the "usual" $200 per person per day that the average guest charges.  Guess we are not average as we only ended up spending a little over $100 for the entire trip.  And most of that was for the $15.00 per day parking and the $11.99 for internet service. And oh, if you think your cell phone is supposed to work that high up, think again! I had no service in our room at all.  Overall it was a very plesant stay.
