Rate Vegas

I've stayed at the Aladdin on three different occasions since it reopened. The basic room (the one you can expect if you pay the casino rate or get a couple nights free, but don't qualify for full RFB) is okay. Furnishing are decent quality, and all rooms have nice, large bathrooms. Don't expect much in the way of view, however, as most of these rooms look across the vast roof of Desert Passage towards the airport. The "resort" rooms are larger, and have the better views. Most prized are the rooms looking out towards Bellagio. Although not quite the deal they once were, these are nicer rooms than what you find next door at the Paris. Many people complain about the layout, but once you get used to it, its not bad. The walk from the elevator to the room is short, and elevators arrive quickly. The pool is adequate, but not spectacular. My impression is that they are understaffed, so don't expect fast drink service. Overall, if you want a nice room in a great location, but don't want to pay Bellagio rates, this is a good choice.
