Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas

I had a wonderful experience at the Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas. Here are some highlights that you might find helpful as you evaluate where to stay in Las Vegas: - Location: The hotel's location is excellent—right in the middle of the most active part of the Strip. Properties like Aria, Bellagio, Cosmopolitan, Paris, MGM Grand, and Park MGM are mere steps away, as are the Shops at Crystals. - Vibe: The Waldorf Astoria is a non-smoking, non-gaming hotel that provides a welcome respite from the overstimulation of the Strip. If you are looking to be near all the energy and action yet have a quiet and restful retreat to return to, this property is for you. - Rooms: The rooms are well-appointed and gorgeous. I loved the stylish decor, modern touches (such as panel-controlled drapes and lighting), the valet closet (with free shoe-shine service!), and high-quality bath amenities from Aesop. - Amenities: Some reviews mention a "lack" of amenities on the property, but I disagree with this assessment. To be clear: this is not a mega-resort/casino; this is a luxury 5-star hotel. The pools are beautiful, the gym is great (offering free fitness classes), and the spa is amazing (though, sadly, the laconium and experience showers were temporarily out of order during my visit). - Staff: Where the property truly shines is in its staff of top-notch professionals who thoughtfully attend to your needs. A massive shoutout to Christopher and Kadin in Peacock Alley and my wonderful personal concierge, Celise. There were so many other team members who made my stay memorable whose names I didn't catch—from friendly doormen and helpful desk agents to spa, dining, and housekeeping staff. - Personalized Attention: I greatly appreciated Celise's handwritten note and thoughtful welcome amenity, as well as Christopher and Kadin's cocktail recommendations and great conversation. They even remembered me from a quick visit I made for a cocktail seven months ago—astute memory and incredible hospitality! - Dining: I took full advantage of the on-property dining. Afternoon Tea at Peacock Alley was a delicious and very cute treat, alongside great cocktails and lunch options. Hard Shake was a lively, fitting spot for an evening nightcap, and in-room dining was top-notch as well. (I sadly didn't get to try Zen Kitchen this time around, but look forward to it on a future trip.) The hotel suited all of our needs perfectly—offering a comfortable bed, a quiet atmosphere, and a great workstation with sweeping Strip views for work, alongside relaxing spa and dining amenities for downtime. This property is worth your attention and consideration; it is easily among the best in Las Vegas.

It was our first time in Vegas and WA was an exceptional place to stay. Smoke free, incredibly clean and the personal service top of class. We stayed in the one bedroom strip view suite, the views amazing and the comfort of the bed and pillows made waking up difficult to do. We loved the Waldorf Astoria and all the excellent employees that worked the time we were guests. We will most definitely return.

Plus: Very nice staff Fast valet service Pool with very comfortable loungers and plenty of umbrellas, helpful attendants Good Beds, clean rooms No casino makes in and out a breeze, especially with kids Nice breakfast staff (Kristy) Good work out Facilities Minus Rooms show usage Low water pressure is annoying Air con could use more power Zen restaurant needs more attention to detail - like flower presentations Guest are not accompanied to their room No explanation given at check in Locker Rooms at health club need upgrade Saving costs seems a priority at the hotel! Resort Fee useless - like at so many corporate run hotels in Vegas

Needs major upgrades to the pool and suites for what is being labeled as luxury. Management/360 leaves much room for improvement in all areas. The hotel has gone down hill service wise from my review a few short years ago. Additionally, no app ready TVs still! The TVs are so old and outdated all around. Suites with TVs in mirrors do not work. Everything needs a major overhaul.

The WA is tucked away behind store fronts on the strip which immediately creates a calming atmosphere. The entrance is steps away from the strip unlike some other hotels that seem like a mini hike. There is no casino in the WA however there are casinos and shopping within walking distance. The room and food met the expected WA expectations.
