I have been to Vegas 20 times and always stayed on the strip or fremont. I wasn't sure what to expect about the Elara, but as it turns out, it's basically on the strip, only about a 200 yard walk. The pool was very nice and clean, the access to Planet Hollywood and the shopping area was only a 5 minute walk, and the staff treated you like royalty. The room was clean and very nice with electric blinds and a kitchnette. I would definitely stay here again. Super easy strip access, yet a nice quiet place to come back to at night.
