Normally, the rates for a standard suite is around $109, but because I stayed during New Years Eve weekend, I paid $209 which was still reasonable. I booked through the American Express Fine Hotel &amp; Resorts program which gives me early noon check-in, complimentary room upgrade (if available), hotel amenity ($100 spa credit), $80 worth of breakfast credit ($40\/per person), and guaranteed 4pm late checkout.<\/p>\n<p>I arrived at the hotel around 4pm and the hotel was relatively empty at the check-in counter. I inquired about the complimentary suite upgrade and the clerk informed me that the hotel was sold out for the night.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_58\" style=\"width: 291px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/pointssummary.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/01\/img_0641.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-58\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-58 \" alt=\"Standard Suite at THEhotel\" src=\"http:\/\/pointssummary.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/01\/img_0641.jpg?w=468\" width=\"281\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-58\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Standard Suite at THEhotel<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_59\" style=\"width: 291px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/pointssummary.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/01\/img_0642.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-59\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-59 \" alt=\"View of the couch and decor\" src=\"http:\/\/pointssummary.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/01\/img_0642.jpg?w=468\" width=\"281\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-59\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">View of the couch and decor<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_60\" style=\"width: 291px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/pointssummary.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/01\/img_0643.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-60\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-60 \" alt=\"View of the living room\" src=\"http:\/\/pointssummary.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/01\/img_0643.jpg?w=468\" width=\"281\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-60\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">View of the living room<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_65\" style=\"width: 291px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/pointssummary.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/01\/img_0648.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-65\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-65 \" alt=\"Wetbar in the living room\" src=\"http:\/\/pointssummary.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/01\/img_0648.jpg?w=468\" width=\"281\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-65\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wetbar in the living room<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_66\" style=\"width: 291px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/pointssummary.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/01\/img_0649.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-66\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-66 \" alt=\"Guest bathroom in the living room\" src=\"http:\/\/pointssummary.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/01\/img_0649.jpg?w=468\" width=\"281\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-66\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Guest bathroom in the living room<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_61\" style=\"width: 291px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/pointssummary.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/01\/img_0644.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-61\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-61 \" alt=\"Two Double Beds\" src=\"http:\/\/pointssummary.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/01\/img_0644.jpg?w=468\" width=\"281\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-61\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Two Double Queen Beds<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_62\" style=\"width: 291px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/pointssummary.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/01\/img_0645.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-62\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-62 \" alt=\"View of the bedroom\" src=\"http:\/\/pointssummary.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/01\/img_0645.jpg?w=468\" width=\"281\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-62\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">View of the bedroom<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_63\" style=\"width: 291px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/pointssummary.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/01\/img_0646.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-63\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-63 \" alt=\"Granite countertop w\/ a his and hers sink\" src=\"http:\/\/pointssummary.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/01\/img_0646.jpg?w=468\" width=\"281\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-63\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Granite countertop w\/ a his and hers sink<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_64\" style=\"width: 291px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/pointssummary.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/01\/img_0647.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-64\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-64 \" alt=\"Shower and Tub\" src=\"http:\/\/pointssummary.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/01\/img_0647.jpg?w=468\" width=\"281\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-64\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Shower and Tub<\/p><\/div>\n<p>I must have stayed at THEhotel at least five times on an Fine Hotel &amp; Resorts rate and not once have I ever been upgraded from a standard suite. The standard suite is pretty large in itself and you can definitely party it up in Vegas and entertain guests comfortably in the living room. There are two restrooms in the suite with one being in the foyer and the other in the bedroom. In addition, there is a\u00a0wet-bar\u00a0just in case you need to clean up after the party.
