Not what I had expected AT ALL!!!!

DO NOT BE MISLED BY THE WEBSITE!
I was sent to Las Vegas on a business trip for one month and my lovely company and they put me up at the Emerald Suites on Las Vegas Blvd.
The place really is ghetto!
I found roches in my room and when asked for a new room it was almost a hassle for Rhonda (the front desk clerk or manager). I trapped two of them under a cup for the managers to see and they could care less. The actually asked me if I wanted someone to come and "spray". I demanded a new room instead.
The walls really are paper thin. I heard dogs barking from the adjacent room ALL night long. Yes, they allow pets to stay w/ you.
It was also evident to me that some people use this place as their perm. residence. There were often many (unsupervised) children running around the courtyard all day and night.
They claim to be the "Jewel of the Suite Life", that is seriously the funniest thing I have heard in a long time.
It was an absolute nightmare. Very trashy!
One plus, they had free high speed internet, but it didn't always work.
totally fine

my company booked us at Emerald Suites on S. Las vegas blvd while on a temp. job assignment for 3 months. I cannot believe the negative reviews and you shouldn't either!! The place was very clean, modern and very well kept. These are "extended stay suites" so yes, some people are there for more than a night or two. I work in the hotel/casino industry and work at a "5 star resort" and I can tell you you wouldn't be rubbing elbows with the "rich and famous".. (or quiet, respectful-of-their-surroundings) types there either! Clientele at emerald suites typical of what yu will find anywhere in LV. I loved the location.. on the strip but still out of the middle of major traffic and easy to drive over to stores nearby. The convenience store in front of the bldg. was a great to have..an easy walk.. and a real plus. One tip.. the shuttle from airport was very slow... I would spring for a cab as the airport is very close by. the shuttle Only goes to Mandalay Bay and airport.. not "anywhere in LV."?? but that is the So. end of the strip and you can walk the strip from there. True.. some of the front desk people aren't Einsteins but I found overall the staff there (esp. maintainence)on the ball and friendly.
did not like it

suites?? they had a kitchen but we had 3 rooms and each room had like 1 fork, 2 knives, no plates, no pots, one glass, etc, there is a fridge, toaster mine never worked I told the reception and they never change it, the bedrooms are small and the beds are not comfortable the sheets didn`t look like clean also it doesn`t look like a safe place to stay, there is no elevator and the stairs are narrow so don`t carry much luggage for us it was imposible we were 3 families. The big long big train wakes you up anytime during the night the railways are just next to it and room service is not good
I do not recomend this hotel
okay place for the price

Traveled with some buddies who made the reservation for thier last minute vegas marriage. If you look up the directions for the hotel and put in a more popular hotel on the strip you will find that the hotel is about 6 miles away. For the price and last minute arrangements it was okay. The hotel was clean, the people at the counter were courteous and there was ample space for us to lounge. As the lucky couple got ready, the remaining group walked over to a bar, think it was called jack's or something and had some ice cold beers. The atmosphere was relaxing.
This place needs a good remodel

My sister and I reserved a 2 bedroom suite. The furniture was in very bad shape. It looked as if someone had taken an axe to the top of the dresser. There were holes in the doors and the bedspread looked as if it were the original from 20 years ago. Very shabby! The bathroom area was also in need of repair. We went to the front desk and they offered us another room, which was just as bad! We were given a credit, but we had to find another place to stay.
