We stayed in the Aladdin for 2 nights last week. Unfortunately, we were very disappointed in the hotel as a whole. The good things: The Italian restaurant -Tremezzo (or something close to that) was quite good. The service was excellent - a bit pricey, but very good. The shops were nice. Also, the front desk clerk - Lisa - was the best I've had anywhere. The bad things: The cleaning staff didn't do a very good job. The floors stayed fairly dirty. People working in the casino were not very friendly - and not at all accomodating. Trying to get change from $100 to $20s was met with irritation at the change booths - what is that all about???? I don't know if I saw too many waitresses going around the area trying to get you drinks and there were also a TON of children around the hotel. We had our car in valet parking - and they did not allow you to call down and have your car brought around. You had to go down, then wait about 20-30 minutes while they went and got it. Also, their spa wasn't open - but you could use the one at Paris - which was really nice. We were very much disappointed in the Aladdin because we were looking forward to being there. Maybe they just haven't gotten the staff fully trained... don't know - but we won't stay there again. The rooms were fairly large - nice bathrooms.

The L.A. Times Sunday travel section ran a review of the new Aladdin a couple of weeks ago. Sounds very nice, but they had a few complaints. Here is the address of the article:

Here's a quick summation: CHEAP and CHEESY looking beyond words!!!

Gee, Emma, based on what the previous writer's comments, perhaps you should consider trying to stay elsewhere.
Try to get a second confirmed before cancelling at the Aladdin.
Of course, if you have prepaid, just make the best of it.
For your consideration, there's a lot of websites dedicated to Las Vegas (AKA Lost Wages). Here's just 3 that are good ones:

Good luck and have fun!
