Hilton Worldwide, Spas in Las Vegas

Very friendly staff, pool is well equipped with bar and BBQ

There is much to like about this resort - especially if you are not into the Vegas strip scene. It is about a 30 minute drive to the strip, but they have a shuttle that drops off and picks up at the MGM Grand, which is convenient if you don't want to drive and park yourself. It was great to retreat to the serenity of the hotel and decompress after spending time at a show or in the strip traffic. And I especially appreciate that it is a totally non-smoking property, and they allow pets. I did not have a chance to try the spa, but it looked enticing. The pool and garden areas are quite nice, as is the lake front. The "village" adjacent to the hotel has a lot of vacant storefronts - no doubt a sign of the economic times still haunting Las Vegas. But there are a few interesting restaurants as alternatives to the hotel restaurant, and there were a couple shops open. We would stay there again.
