Part 1 can be found in the link below:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/pointssummary\/2013\/01\/09\/las-vegas-thehotel-american-express-fine-hotel-resorts-review-part-1\/\">Las Vegas: THEhotel American Express Fine Hotel &amp; Resorts Review Part 1<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The hotel amenity for THEhotel is a $100 spa credit that can be used for any spa services at THEhotel&#8217;s Bathhouse. I didn&#8217;t see a spa service menu in the suite, but after a quick phone call, I was quickly connected to the spa concierge. I let my friend use the $100 spa credit and I booked a $90 20-minute massage for him. There were facials, manicures, and pedicures available, but due to it being on New Years Weekend, everything was completely booked. We had a choice of either a male attendant at 10:30am or a female attendant at 11:00am, so we chose the latter. My friend ended up charging the $90 to the room and left a $20 tip. The $90 was taken off the bill immediately and $20 was left on the remaining folio balance. Sorry no pictures as my friend did not take any pictures of THEhotel&#8217;s Bathhouse.<\/p>\n<p>We had breakfast in the morning and there was a New Years Eve special brunch menu at The Cafe. The cool thing about booking through the American Express Fine Hotel &amp; Resorts program is that the breakfast credit is very generous and can offset a huge amount on your room rate. In this case, we had $80 worth of breakfast credits to use ($40 per person, max 2 adults). We had three adults dining, which is no problem since everything is charged to the room and taken care of automatically.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_73\" style=\"width: 291px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/pointssummary.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/01\/img_0692.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-73\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-73 \" alt=\"The Cafe's New Year's Eve specials\" src=\"http:\/\/pointssummary.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/01\/img_0692.jpg?w=468\" width=\"281\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-73\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Cafe&#8217;s New Year&#8217;s Eve specials<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_74\" style=\"width: 291px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/pointssummary.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/01\/img_0694.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-74\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-74 \" alt=\"Breakfast\/Brunch Menu\" src=\"http:\/\/pointssummary.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/01\/img_0694.jpg?w=468\" width=\"281\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-74\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Breakfast\/Brunch Menu<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_75\" style=\"width: 291px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/pointssummary.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/01\/img_0698.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-75\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-75 \" alt=\"steak frites,  prime flat iron, marrow butter, truffle fries\" src=\"http:\/\/pointssummary.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/01\/img_0698.jpg?w=468\" width=\"281\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-75\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">prime flat iron steak, marrow butter, truffle fries<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_76\" style=\"width: 291px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/pointssummary.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/01\/img_0701.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-76\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-76 \" alt=\"Prime Beef Filet Benedict\" src=\"http:\/\/pointssummary.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/01\/img_0701.jpg?w=468\" width=\"281\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-76\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Prime Beef Filet Benedict<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_77\" style=\"width: 291px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/pointssummary.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/01\/img_0702.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-77\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-77 \" alt=\"Blue Crab Benedict with Hash Browns\" src=\"http:\/\/pointssummary.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/01\/img_0702.jpg?w=468\" width=\"281\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-77\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Blue Crab Benedict with Hash Browns<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Again, the breakfast credit is very generous as it is really hard to use $80 worth of breakfast credit for even three people including orange juices. I&#8217;ve stayed at this property many times using the Fine Hotel &amp; Resorts program and in previous years, they only offered a physical $20 voucher per person,\u00a0totaling\u00a0$40. I&#8217;m really impressed that it has changed to $40 per person ($80 total). If you are itching to stay at this property, I would do so soon because it will be changing its name to theDelano hotel and it might be leaving the American Express Fine Hotel &amp; Resorts program.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve seen this hotel go as low as $75 during Thanksgiving week of last year, but this property is usually in the low $100&#8217;s most weekdays except Thursday, Fridays, and Saturday nights. The hotel rate will hover above $200 during special events like Labor Day, Memorial Day, 4th of July, and New Years.<\/p>\n<p>Next, I will be reviewing the Westin Lake Las Vegas as a Starwood Preferred Platinum guest, so stay tuned!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is Part 2 of the\u00a0Las Vegas: THEhotel American Express Fine Hotel &amp; Resorts Review.
