This is my go to place to stay in Vegas.  The rooms are big, clean and have a kitchenette which is wonderful. Its non gaming so not smoky at all and great place to come back and relax after a night out in Vegas!  It's only about a mile walk down to the strip which is great and I love that it's right next to my favorite restaurant (Hofbrahaus).  I've stayed at many other places at Vegas and some are nicer (and a lot are much worse) but this is a great one for the price and for what you need.  They have 3 pools which are all nice and recently updated their workout room which is small but great for a hotel one.  Will keep on coming back to Alexis Park for my Vegas trips, hasn't let me down yet!
