QUIET hotel room in Las Vegas?

I love Las Vegas, but I have a hard time persuading my wife to go again. In Las Vegas, people come and go to their hotel rooms at all hours of the night and morning, and on our last visits, my wife (a light sleeper) was kept awake nights by loud winners & losers in the halls and slamming doors. Can anyone reccomend a hotel with rooms that are QUIET?

I stayed at the Venetian in Las Vegas recently and it was very quiet. I couldn't here any outside noise in the room.

The problem you describe is certainly not one that is limited to Las Vegas. We have found that rude people making noise in hotel hallways at all hours of the night is now commonplace throughout the country. I would recommend that if you intend to continue to travel, that you attempt to deal with the noise as best as you can and consider earplugs to reduce the noise.

My pet peeve at hotels is the noisy ice machines, I always request a room away from the ice. You might consider asking for a room at the end of a corridor so as to minimize the traffic in front of your door. Best of Luck.

I had a horrible 'noisy hotel' experience in Boston last May. I was staying at the Howard Johnson's on Kenmore Square. As it turned out, the hotel was also being used as student housing for Boston University. Add to that the last week of final exams and you have 24 hours of parties in the rooms and hallways. Needless to say, I was not amused.

My advice: you get what you pay for.

I am very familiar with your problem and have experienced it on occasion in many hotels. Unfortunately, there is really nothing you can do about it because people come and go in hotels and have no courtesy for others.

Anyway, my husband and I stayed at Treasure Island and would stay there again. The room was impeccably clean and never awoke out of sleep due to noisy guests.

Good luck to you!

We found the rooms at the MGM were extremely quiet. Good insulation, I think, and again, you get what you pay for. The first floor of the hotel is noise central!!

Maybe you should ask for a room at the very end of the hall. That would at least alleviate most the traffic noise in front of your room, as you would be the only person going that far down the corridor!

I stayed at the Golden Nugget and didn't have a noise problem. Just thought I=d throw in my two cents worth.

We just stayed at the Flamingo Hilton, the room (and floor) we were on were very quiet (23rd, facing strip). I imagine ALL hotels, no matter where they are are going to have noisy and inconsiderate guests so you will never completely eliminate the problem. Try and stay away from elevators and ice machines tho. The MGM Grand was loaded (and I mean loaded) with kids - every single guest there must have had 3 or 4 with them so I'd avoid that place like the plague if you don't want to be surrounded by a "Disneyland" theme and probably a certain amount of noise too.
I read that the NYNY is not very quiet, espiecally rooms facing the roller coaster and it's screaming passengers.
Basically a quiet room is simply luck of the draw. If your wife is a light sleeper it might be worth while for her to take a Tylenol PM or "Simply Sleep" (just one should do it) before bedtime, they may give her the little "extra" she needs to sleep.

Try the St. Tropez hotel. It is an all-suite hotel located across the street from the Hard Rock Hotel on Harmon and Paradise. It caters mostly to business travellers and is quiet because it has no hallways. It consists of small groups of buildings and you can park you car very close to your room if you are driving. The Hard Rock across the street has great restaurants and a free shuttle to and from the strip, 5 minutes away. Try it!
