Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, Curio Collection by Hilton

This hotel has it all! The lobby is... incredible. **Pros:** Plenty of restaurants, including a 24-hour pizza place and a sports bar specifically for watching games. The room's design and decor are really distinctive, especially the furniture and lighting. Plus, the value for money is outstanding – around 300 a night is an absolute steal. Parking is free too! **Cons:** It's huge, so the walk back to the room can be quite long.

The room was spacious with a separate vanity. The hotel environment was great, and the gym was really big. The coffee downstairs was delicious. However, the $39+ buffet breakfast was very mediocre; I'd rather go out for a burger combo instead.

The hotel offers free parking. Take the elevator down from the parking garage to floor C (the *** floor) to access the lobby. Check-in is on the left-hand side of the main entrance, so it's easy to find. The hotel is quite close to the airport, so you can hear planes in the evenings and mornings. Also, while the rooms don't have windows, there are glass doors connecting the living room and balcony. However, the soundproofing isn't great. If you can't stand any noise, you might want to consider another hotel.

Due to bad weather, I decided to extend my stay in Las Vegas for an extra day. After comparing options, I chose to stay at the same hotel. I accidentally booked the wrong room type, but after speaking with the front desk, they changed it to a twin room, which I was very happy with.
