Good experience here. Super clean, rooms are updated with newer furnishings, etc. even though the property follows the old Embassy Suites atrium model. My only complaint about the rooms was that lighting was lacking. The entire front room had a small desk lamp with a tiny skinny bulb and a table lamp as the only illumination, and the bedroom only a desk lamp and the light beside the door. If you couldn't have the window shades open, you couldn't see well enough to do anything.
Typical free happy hour, but in a nice dedicated bar area with some decent snacks, and a good breakfast set up - more seating and more accommodation for made to order items that most ES's. Staff everywhere I encountered were super friendly and efficient. I got my company's rate here, which made it a GREAT bargain for Vegas.
Bonus: Elvis and Priscilla (the swans) and beautiful koi were very nice ambiance for the hotel. -

For those who are complaining: Who are you? You must be used to a more high-flying standard of living than I am, because the Embassy Suites was pretty damn awesome.
Free breakfast, fitness room, pool, huge suites with TWO flat-screen TVs, one in the living room and one in the bedroom. Easy parking. I gotta say, though, that I did not feel okay about the swans being used to decorate the hotel. These are living beings, ya know? Oh yeah, and the wifi is not free. It's $4.95 for the duration of your stay. -

Really can't complain. We booked this place frantically because there weren't any rooms available anywhere else during EDC weekend.
The people at the front desk are really attentive and helpful. The rooms are decent sized. It has a decent pool. They have an open bar during their happy hour which is nice. No premium liquors of course. The restaurant inside serves a complimentary custom order breakfast for guests with their room key.
If you're in dire need of a room in Vegas, this isn't a bad place to stay. Its not too far from the strip and there were plenty of parking spaces available. Its also very conveniently across the street from the Hard Rock Hotel if you need to gamble late night.Listed in: Vegas Haunts

Cant rate the rooms. I came here for a convention. I'm impressed. It's very classy. The meeting rooms are nice and spacious. They have a restaurant on site and the breakfast bar embassy set up was delicious. Even when we reached capacity they opened up the partition and we had enough seating for everyone. The staff was great and they have shuttle's. Ill rent a room next time I need one I'm sure the hotel rooms are great.

Great value in vegas, $109 per night on a weekend compared to $400 for a cramped little room on the strip. Throw in the free breakfast and free drinks in the evening and you have yourself a great value.
The hotel has been upgraded. The rooms are nice enough. The lobby atrium is a bit dated and the faux plants are a bit dusty.
There were some service issues. We ordered food to go at the restaurant. The place was empty and we were quoted 20 minutes to get our food. In the end, it took 40.
Check in took forever, as did many interactions with the front desk. The guys working the desk had to always stop and answer phones which was annoying. But the one guy working the desk called me "cute." Not sure if I should be flattered or horrified.
There was never a consistent answer on the shuttle to the strip. We were told they would take us anywhere (and they did) and pick us up. But when I called for pickup, they said they only pick up and drop off at Planet Hollywood. In the end, we had to use taxis a lot which ran $10 a trip to the strip.
All things considered, I like the other Embassy Suites on Paradise just a touch better and I have stayed there many times. But they were $50 a night more when I booked so we stayed here. -

I am surprised that some people complain about this hotel because it is not close to the strip...it is not really the hotel's fault that it is not close. Should you not have checked the distance before you book? This is not a hotel casino. This hotel is suitable for people who want to be far from the sparkling lights of the strip and enjoy a "peaceful" night in a very spacious room.
Pros: Great breakfast at no additional charge....omelet made from scratch with your choice of ingredients
Free drinks from 5:30 to 7:30
The beautiful swans
Liquid body wash instead of bar of soap
Cons: You can hear the planes and it sounded like they were flying over your bed
Area not the safest but it is Vegas! -

This hotel was amazing..
Great location, not too far from the strip. Parking was a breeze, plenty of it.
The free morning breakfast a big plus plus :)
All suites have a small living room area, which has a sofa bed :) A small fridge, sink and many other ammenities.
I would sooo stay here next time, this hotel is beautiful.
Why have to walk tons on a strip hotel, when you can stay here and have a beutiful place to sleep :)
Great customer service at the front desk too... -

It's not the Bellagio or one of those fancy hotels on the Strip, but I really like this hotel. Maybe its the free breakfast or open bar every day? Maybe because its non-gaming, it has a more peacful vibe and non-smoking smell? Either way for the money its a great value. Especially if you're traveling with kids/babies like I was. You don't have to worry about the smoke or drunk partiers here. And the swans and koi in the open atrium lobby is nice distraction for them if you need to stroll. Plus the pool is huge too. And for those who do needs some action in their lives, its directly across the street from the Hard Rock Hotel. Just becareful jay walking! My recap:
Pros:
-Free made to order breakfast and nightly open bar
-location, it's close to everything yet nice and quiet
-Non-gaming, great for families
-Spacious rooms and free internet in the rooms.
-Super friendly and accomodating staff
-Clean rooms
Cons:
-The cable in our room was funny. Though they tried to fix it, the only way to really fix it was to move rooms as the cable company needed to look at it.
-The hot water in our bathroom was intermitted and the drain slow. Although they fixed the drain, the water would work when they left but at night would take forever to heat. -
Review from Wanugee N.

There are at least 3 Embassy Suites in the Las Vegas area. This one, another one just a couple of blocks away on Paradise closer to the convention center, and another one south near Green Valley.
This one is about 3 blocks east of the strip. It is pretty quiet here, and good for business people. However, with the 2 room suites and reasonable prices with free breakfast and manager's cocktail hour, it can be a bargain for 2 couple or a boys or gals weekend in Sin City. It is also good for families.
This 7 story building has all the Embassy Suites standards, like a pool, business center room, high atrium lobby, and the lush green hanging plants. But there are a couple of things that makes it more unique.
1. There are live Koi in the pond/stream in the atrium. Many Embassy Suites have the water works in the atrium, but only some have live Koi.
2. There are 2 beautiful, live Swans in the atrium water! I have never seen that before.
3. There is a life size statue of "The King", Elvis Presley, in the atrium.
(Oddly, the younger version with a sports jacket, not the older "Vegas" version with the white Unitard)

I have always been a fan of the Embassy Suites chain, our latest visit to Las Vegas reminded me just how much I appreciate their hotels. We were heading to Sin City for the Pacquiao/Hatton fight. Needless to say, with all the old newly-enforced comp rules for our "regular" casinos, getting a room either (a) comped or (b) at casino rate for fight weekend apparently wasn't an option.
So we turned to an old standby...Embassy Suites. Originally, we were trying to say at the location on Paradise Road, but it was full. So we ended up at this location, across the street from the Hard Rock Hotel. Sure, there's no *ding*ding* of the slot machines in the lobby, but they do have an Elvis statue! :) The staff is friendly and courteous, and you can even catch a comedy show during the breakfast buffet (well, okay...it's actually the cooks cooking your breakfast - but they were quite entertaining!). Free buffet breakfast and free cocktails during happy hour!
Go Embassy Suites! 4 SHAKAS! -

Well I just got back from another business trip and must say that I was even happier with my stay this time. The room was nice, the staff was excellent, and the location worked out to my advantage. And now I'm back to Gold VIP status with Hilton, it makes things even better.
As you check in, have a sip of one of their infused waters, then take a walk around the atrium to see the koi and the swans. Yes, the Elvis statue is a bit creepy, but then again, I guess it goes with the theme of the hotel.
They have both a complimentary breakfast (I only had time to grab a cup of coffee and a muffin each morning), but it smelled delicious. And the manager's reception means you can down a cocktail while munching on chips and watching some TV.
There are a lot of families and professionals that stay here, which I enjoy since I have to be here for business. I need some peace and quiet, yet can get to rowdy, stereotypical Vegas areas with a short drive or taxi ride. A taxi from the Flamingo to the hotel was $7 (not including tip).
The beds are alright, it is nice that I can shut the bedroom door to really try and block out any noise from the atrium area, if need be. Nice large TVs which actually get a few HD stations (I don't understand hotels that have HDTVs yet no HD stations.)
The service here is also great, the airport shuttle guy was very helpful, and the people at the front desk were great. Sometimes I've had issues with getting a late check out at hotels I've stayed at, but there was no problem here.
The only thing that I don't like is the fact that the elevators here are so dang slow. It can take a little while for them to get to you, which was a bit of an annoyance. -

We had to use up some miles, so we decided to stay in this hotel based on some reviews. The location wasn't far from the strip, but it's probably too far to walk - unless you just really like walking (we did try it once).
They offer a shuttle, but the times aren't terribly convenient. It runs every hour, but it starts late enough and stops early enough that you just don't get enough use out of it, and you'll want to take a cab most times. The times you may make use of it are when you come back to the room mid-day and want to go back to the strip for a show or something.
You will be able to take advantage of the included breakfast and the manager's reception, but what you can't do are gamble at the hotel (have to go to a casino for that), and though they have a pool, there isn't really much to see while you do it - you're out in the middle of the parking lot. So if you want to sunbathe, you might want to pick another joint.
Other than that, the hotel works fine as a base of operations. It's just not the most scenic place in the city. -

I was pleasantly surprised at this hotel. I was aprehensive to staying away from the strip, but ended up satisfied with the location and accommodations.
Starters, the rooms were clean and well kept up. The atrium was a bit blah, but definitely relaxing. Swans swam about - I haven't quite decided whether they were nice or if they seemed a health hazard.
The staff was great! A friend arrived before I did and the staff allowed her to check-in and get settled without needing me there. Breakfast staff were very efficient and HILARIOUS. They defintely brightened our day each morning and remembered us, by name at that! The staff manning the free cocktail hour (that's right, free!!) each evening was great too. Drinks were made quickly and properly. Although, they had a one drink limit seemed out of the norm to me.
I was quite disappointed with the "complimentary shuttle to/from the strip" because it didn't run often enough nor long enough. Random hours, mid morning and afternoon with service ending at 9 PM. Strange for a city that never sleeps!
I'll definitely consider returning on my next Vegas getaway! -

A surprising 3 1/2 stars.
Typically when in Vegas I like to stay on the strip, so I was interested to see how this experience would differ and I was pleasantly surprised.
The hotel itself is pretty white toast. Even our Embassy Suites in Minneapolis is prettier/more interesting than this one... There are swans in the lobby... Good or bad thing, I'm not sure.
But the staff were fantastic. The men who cooked breakfast (Billy Ray and friend) were hilarious and made breakfast not just tasty, but a full experience (as Vegas should be!). The bar tender for the FREE Managers Reception from 5-7 was fun and kind.
You really can't beat the deal. Cheaper than the strip, with free amazing breakfast (we're talking made-to-order omlettes, french toast, pancakes, etc!) and two hours of free drinks.
The walk to the strip was less than 20 minutes and my frozen Minnesota toes appreciated the thawing! -

This isn't a drastic change from any other Embassy Suite Hotel in the country. The same design with the huge atrium - the biggest difference is that this atrium has a stream that houses two swans (Priscilla and Elvis, natch).
The room that I stayed in was very nice - a small fridge and microwave in the living room along with a desk and a nicely decorated seating area. The bathroom was lovely and had nice soaps, etc... The towels were very absorbent... The bedroom had a nicely sized room with a queen sized bed. The bed was clean and comfortable.
The hotel offered wi-fi which while not blazing fast was free.
As with all Embassy Suite Hotels - there was a "Managers Reception" each evening which meant free drinks and some free tortilla chips. I do think this is a nice touch...
Considering that the hotel is not an unreasonable walk from the strip (and a free shuttle ride if need be), the cost of the hotel is very reasonable. I also came here in June and was able to rent a car for about $10/day and park in the major casino's for free. Perhaps my review would change if it were more difficult to get to the strip. -
Review from Eugene N.
1/30/2010
Just came back from a stay at this establishment.
First of all I really didn't have any problems during my stay. So why not a perfect score?
Because I stayed at the Embassy Suites over on Paradise, which is just a minute away down the street.
So first the comparisons. From pictures, this one on Swenson looks bigger and nicer than the one on Paradise. In reality the one on Paradise is bigger. As far as nicer, it becomes subjective. The one on Paradise definitely has a more business traveler feel. Both are very well taken care of and everything you can expect from a Hilton establishment. The rooms in Paradise, though I haven't stayed over there for about 2 years so things might have changed since then, is more dated then the one in Swenson, The room in Paradise is bigger, but the one on Paradise is more modern, complete with 2 40" LCD TVs in the living area and in the room. For you HDTV junkies, THEY ACTUALLY HAVE HD PROGRAMMING! You don't know how many hotels I've been to that claim having HDTVs yet still only have crap analog channels.
As with most/all Embassy Suites, you have the complimentary breakfast. After staying at a few, I can confidently say the food served is all the same. It's the layout that is different.
In this location (Swenson), you go up to the cooks (which are very entertaining btw even at 5-6AM in the morning--some may be intimidated by them, and ladies they like to flirt a lot) and this is where you get ALL the hot items, made to order eggs/omelets, pancakes, french toast, bacon, sausage, etc. Then you go to the adjacent room where you got the usual drinks, cereal etc.
Again all the same food items, but on Paradise, the only thing you go to the chef for is for the omelets. All the other items I mentioned are in a buffet line where you can help yourself. I feel this is much better because there is no bottle neck at the line like there was over here on Swenson.
This location has a pool/jacuzzi as well. To pick which location is better can be subjective. The pool area here is outdoor, where the one on Paradise is indoor (I'm not sure if they had an outdoor one also, but I could have sworn it was indoor--sorry I've stayed at quite a few). So if you are looking for that nice vacation atmosphere pool, then it would be here on Swenson, if you can care less, and worried about rain spoiling your swimming fun, then the one on Paradise might be better.
As with the Paradise location, there is a nightly Manager's Reception. In short (because people fail to ever review on it) means FREE ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES!! They also include some munchies for you to snack on while you get hammered. Please tip at least $1 a drink because the staff has always been great. I personally like the location of the bar area where the Manager's reception is held at over in the Paradise location. It is a few floors up, so you can look down at the atrium. But either way both serve its purpose.
Well equipped fitness center, several cardio machines, and a few weights. They even have COMPLIMENTARY headphones to use while you are doing your cardio since they have TVs built in but only have headphone output. The ones provided are earbuds and are said to be disposable but yours to keep if you wish to use them for other devices.
The staff here was very helpful and nice, but again that is something to be expected with all Hilton properties.
My only quirk was that the drainage in the bathtub was clogged or needed maintenance. The water was not going down fast enough so your feet would be submerged in the water that you were just bathing in. It was just the feet and did not go any higher. It wasn't a big deal, but I know to a lot of people this would be. I could have complained and I'm sure they would've resolved it, but it was fine with me.
As far as location, I would have to say this is better because it is literally right ACROSS from the Hard Rock. You can walk right across the street and you are right there. So if you are clubbing at BodyEnglish or attending Rehab, your just a few steps away.
I highly recommend this place and would consider it without hesitation. -

Went to a small conference there couple years ago.
The room is great. Not spacious for 4 people but for 1 or 2 person is great.
Bedroom is separated with living room.
The best thing about this hotel is the breakfast. The service in the omelet counter was great although front desk was so so...
Dinner at the hotel was horrible... save your money and go to the Hard Rock Hotel across the street.
What I don't like about the Embassy is the atrium with birds. There were some swans at the atrium with their wings clipped and that is sad to see.... they can't fly and go anywhere.
They have shuttle to the airport however it fills quickly so make your appointment in advance.
Average rate is $100 bucks with breakfast! Not a bad deal! -

Embassy Suites anywhere has yet to disappoint me! Booked this hotel for a last minute trip. Hotel is nice, but its really far from the strip. The only good part about this hotel is that it has the most amazing free breakfast! Omelets made to order is a plus! Stay here if you're on a business trip

2 1/2 stars. This was my first time staying at Embassy Suites, visiting Vegas spontaneously & on the budget...
I didn't expect much from an 'off the strip hotel' yet it was a weired one...
You will need a cab to go to the strip or pay some sucker to carry ya! It's not far but far enough for a walk.
It is a 'middle america' style hotel.
If you're an old hag, rite on, that's one place for ya.
This establishment is kinda creepy, it has a big atrium open space in the middle between the floors, dim lights, space is decorated with fake ponds, fake greenery & fake trees, yet about 10 poor real flamingo birds were standing in the mid of this ridicules fake atrocity, and a big weird statue of Elvis Presley abounded in the corner, is he being punished? Just a lil.. surreal.
That aside, the room was kind of outdated (that ancient tube TV must go!).
I would of help them repaint those rooms for free!
Good thing they have their room windows permanently sealed as one may try commit a suicide once seeing those carpets!
Example for BAD customer service:
Getting back from a night out, a friend & I were sitting & talking in my car at the hotels parking lot, (windows were shut therefore loud noise is not an excuse).
Suddenly the parking "security" guy showed up saying that we can not sit in the car!!!
Excuse me??
I informed him that I'm a GUEST of this hotel & I will sit in my car however long I feel like.
He said that he don't care & that we need to go because "this is the policy!" Go figure...
So I told him that I will go whenever I feel like going & that he need to stop bothering us before I will have strong words with his superior!
I ignored him & kept on with our conversation while the gourd bounced..
What a LAME service!
I acknowledge it was probably a one time mistake, therefore I'll only stay there again if on a budget and if it's the cheapest place to stay at.
Or If I am single as my other half will slap me upside my head while throwing my a** from the last floor into this nasty swamp so I could swim with the flamingos.
I will only recommend this place for an older conservative folks who are on a budget but want to see some Vegas (or get away from the wife) or both.
Or for young guys who want to experience the gay scene as your bars & clubs are walking distance from this pink hotel.
Hope it was helpful, yet if you stay there you don't need much help.
You need GOD.
Just kidding.

My husband and myself stayed one night here and really enjoyed the experience. The staff was friendly and professional. We both enjoyed the two swans, the Managers Reception and large room. The two men cooking in the morning were VERY friendly and cooked great omlettes. We wanted a quieter Las Vegas experience and found that at Embassy Suites. They also had a shuttle that would take you to Planet Hollywood if you didn't want to walk the 20 minutes.
