Vilsalpsee Tours and Activities

All in all, wasn't a bad stay. A couple stars were knocked off though by the fact that the television in the room was glitching, or just refusing to work at all. A technician was sent up 4 times over 2 days, and it never fixed the problem. Also, the HVAC was either arctic or sweltering, and wouldn't allow you to just run the fan for air circulation. 71 was about 80, and 69 was 60. Ended up getting moved to another tower (Went from Opal to Canyon), the room in the canyon tower was better HVAC wise, but the TV was still glitching. I usually wouldn't care about the TV, but I am a nerd for the olympics. Positives. Pretty good food options, if i was a richer man, I would've hit up NOBU for sure. But $35 for one piece of Toro is a bit ridiculous. Great entertainment in the lobby bar, the open mic night was extremely entertaining, as well as the badass completely hilarious horn player / comedian. Room was clean, air well filtered in the casino from the cig smoke. Negatives Besides the TV/HVAC. RESORT FEES. Vegas is down about 10% on visitors. Theres a reason why. The fees and insane prices on a bottle of water are ridiculous. Honestly you have people come to the desert, and charge that for water, it's more expensive to stay properly hydrated if you get water at the shops on property than it is for your entire room fee (Not including the resort fee). This isn't just a "Virgin" thing, It's citywide pretty much. I used to go to Vegas multiple times a year. No longer.

The sheets had stains on the when we arrived. The room was outdated but for the price we did kind of expect that. I was told we would have to pay extra for any additional sheets however when I told them they had already started out looking dirty they finally gave us new, but that was several nights into the stay. Most staff didn't speak english so there wasn't great communication or friendliness. It was nice to have the pool and beach within walking distance. Windows would open but no screens which was disappointing because if you wanted fresh air there was a fear of birds flying in. We also had a decent leak from our AC unit running down through the drywall causing it to bubble up and pool on the floor which caused me to slip and fall.
