loved the location of the elara,the only minor complaint is that the self parking is not clearly marked (park on the 3rd floor of the planet hollywood garage and in the sw corner you can access the elara) check in was quick,rooom was just as pictured,liked the black out electic blinds,read some reviews that complained about the long walk to the strip but it's las vegas and all you do is walk and it wasn't really that long and you walking thru the miracle mile shops so it goes by quick.Pool was nice and not overly busy during the week the only drawback is they check your bag for outside beverages so your stuck paying for drinks at the pool...........i will stay here the next time i go back
