I entered the Lobby noting the smoke smell and reminded myself that this is Las Vegas, not California. We arrived the day of our reservation at the Aliante at 4PM looking forward to soaking our bones in the hot tub.

Only downside was I couldn't get the higher floor level, but the price was the same as the Aliante's basic. Their website was a breeze including indicating my requirement of a NON-SMOKING room. I decided to see if I could book the room through. I attempted to make the reservation on Aliante's site but after multiple tries I gave up even though the website indicated rooms were available. I went directly to the Hotels website and looked over the property and rooms, and then determined based on TA pictures that the premium for higher floors without views of rooftop HVAC units was worth it. I found the Aliante Hotel & Casino met our requirement of a 4 star hotel, reasonably priced at $100 with good ratings on TA.

Staying on the Strip wasn't important to us. * WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT! * Six days prior to arrival I looked on TripAdvisor((TA) to find a good 4 star hotel in Las Vegas. I would highly recommend for any extended stay in Las Vegas. Aliante charges less than $10 which includes free coffee.imagine that for Vegas. Aliante has all the resort features such as pool and spa that you would find in town but without the prohibitive 'resort' fees of $20 + per night. Sufficient restaurants so you won't be bored on site and a fast food court on site plus a Regal movie complex. Easy arrival procedure that from valet parking that takes only a few steps to the desk and then to the elevators so one does not have to trek through the casino. The front desk staff appear to be well trained and very friendly. There is a sense of true security in the halls. The rooms are clean and well furnished, not tacky at all. The Casino is clean, spacious and because it is new, it does not have the cigarette smoke built into the walls. Yes, it is not convenient for 'Strip' visitors but outstanding for longer stays or visitors to the area. If you know the area and have a car it is about 15 minutes to the strip.

Aliante Casino hotel is located right off the 215.
