The Hilton Garden Inn Las Vegas South far exceeded my expectations for this price point. What an excellent value! Hotels more than twice the price don't always achieve the level of satisfaction offered by this hotel.

The hotel offers a complimentary shuttle to/from the airport and also to/from Mandalay Bay. Free internet. Walking distance to an outlet mall, and also to a drug store, fast food, etc.

The hotel lobby has a living room type area with big comfy sofas in front of a large fireplace - looked so inviting - but unfortunately a big screen TV was blaring from over the fireplace - chasing me away.

There is an in-house restaurant serving breakfast and dinner, and a tiny bar with a small TV blaring from the wall.

There was an outdoor pool with a bit of nice landscaping, a laundry room, mini snack/beverage sale nook near the front desk and an exercise room.

The hotel common areas were pleasant and clean. The room was clean, fresh and airy.

The 1 bedroom, 1.5 bath suite was HUGE. The full bath was spacious and equipped with a separate shower, a whirlpool bathtub, hair dryer, Neutrogena toiletries (including shampoo, conditioner, mouthwash, lotion, bar soap, q-tips). And best of all - wonderful, soft, stretchy bathrobes!!

The half bath off the living room was roomy also.

The living room was set up with work desk/chair, sofa, chair/ottoman, flat screen TV, mini-frig, microwave, tiny sink/counter area, coffee pot, complimentary tea/coffee, 2 phone lines, etc. There was iron & ironing board in the closet.

The bedroom, again enormous for this price point, was set up with a comfortable king bed, nice linenes, flat screen TV, 2 chairs - one with ottoman, etc.

The balcony contained 2 chairs and a side table.

The bedroom and living room had separate temperature control, which was quite nice.

The hotel was wonderfully peaceful - even though it was fully booked during my stay.

The only complaint I would have is very minor - that the bathroom fan is linked to the light switch - so there is no draft free bathing allowed - unless you do it in the dark, of course!

Yes, I would definitely stay at this Hilton Garden Inn again. What a fabulous bargain!

We stayed our first night in Vegas at the Hilton Garden Inn. This is a very convenient location away from the hustle/bustle of The Strip, yet close enough for a short ride to any casino. Sorry, no gambling here, but you get the solid Hilton product with the comfy bed, pantry breakfast and friendly staff!

Best amenity of the hotel is the airport shuttle, just call when you get your luggage and they'll pick you up within 20-30 minutes (as promised by the front desk, but call to verify!), Do not hesitate to book this hotel...if, you want to be "off Strip".

We enjoyed our brief stay at the Hilton Garden Inn. Our room was good sized and clean. The beds were comfortable and the location suited our needs well.


We were driving into Vegas to catch a flight out the next morning and the location was perfect.

The Hotel is not located in the "heart" of the strip, but rather a few miles south of most of the action. It is right next to the Las Vegas outlet mall, which provides a nice diversion if you have a few hours to kill. It is also about a mile from the new Rental car return facility.

Here's the short version for frequent travellers:

- Construction: The hotel is about 2.5 years old but they are adding about 25 suites at the back which are expected to be finished in November 2007. These suites are expected to be bigger with flat screen TVs and balconies.
- Rooms: microwave, fridge, coffee maker, 2 x TVs, clean, new, aircon = unreliable. A lot of space for the money
- Internet: Free and reliable
- Gym: pleasant surprise for a Hilton Garden Inn. Good range of working equipment, towels - good cardio but poor weights and no individual TVs.
- Breakfast: = $9.95 (included for higher status Hhonors guests ). Eggs, ham, bacon, potatoes, toast, fruit, yoghurt, waffles
- Staff - above average. Polite, efficient, attentive. Breakfast room staff are terrific.
- Shuttle service: every 30 mins to airport, every hour to mandalay bay hotel. A bit erratic on pick up - sometimes leaves earlier than scheduled on the return from Mandalay Bay
- Pool: small but not busy. Nice jacuizzi.

A good bet for frequent travellers who want a more manageable property in LV.
