Having stayed at various interesting downtown hotels / Sahara on the strip for CES, it was a nice change to find  the Embassy Suites in Las Vegas. The location, at least for CES, was top notch and the rooms were far cleaner and less smoky smelling than at most hotels / resorts in Las Vegas.\n\nI enjoyed the simple amenities, plush towels, nice beds, ROBES! and a good bar for a place that isn't loud and obnoxious. The staff can be rude at times, but then again its Vegas, I'm not coming here expecting top notch service since I've received similar treatment at \"5 star\" resorts elsewhere in Vegas.\n\nRates are extremely expensive nearing CES, but if you book well, well, WELL in advance, this is the place to be if you don't want to be amidst the drunken stupor that is the strip.
