More and more, Reno, long known as the biggest little city in the world, has been seeing a steady rise in visitation rates in recent years….

More and more, Reno, long known as the biggest little city in the world, has been seeing a steady rise in visitation rates in recent years. While Reno has always hosted a decent amount of annual travelers, it has traditionally been the casino crowd and those on their way to either Las Vegas or nearby Lake Tahoe.

With its recent push to clean up its image and to offer visitors more than just gambling, Reno has slowly been becoming a destination in its own right and not just a stopover or a place to spend a quick weekend. The city now offers family-friendly activities such as museums, hiking trails, an array of festivals, delicious local eateries, a river walk, and more.

In order to host its millions of visitors, Reno also offers an array of hotels. They range from your standard one or two level motels and all the way up to resort-style casino hotels. This post aims to provide you with my top six recommendations for the latter.

I've lived in the Reno area for the last 17 years and have stayed in many of Reno's best (and not-so-best) hotels. If my family or friends were going to visit Reno for a few days, these are the six I would recommend to them.

1. Atlantis Casino Resort Spa

With more than 800 guest rooms between its three hotel towers, the Atlantis Casino Resort Spa has been one of the top ranked and best resorts in Reno since opening in 1996. The property features a variety of amenities, such as award-winning restaurants, table games, hundreds of slot machines, a wonderful spa, fitness center, indoor pool, and more.

However, the Atlantis shines in presentation, with its exterior showcasing a harmonious blend of modern architecture and tropical-themed design elements. The three hotel towers, with their sleek lines and expansive glass facades, are complimented by Greco-Roman columns. The iconic Sky Terrace, an enclosed walkway spanning Virginia Street below, adds a striking visual highlight.

The interior spaces are adorned with warm woods, plush carpeting and rich marble accents, creating a welcoming and upscale atmosphere. Additional, there's no shortage of dining options, as the Atlantis features a buffet and a number of traditional sit-and-serve restaurants, including the Atlantis Steakhouse, which earned the prestigious AAA Four Diamond designation.

The rates at Atlantis tend to be higher than the remaining four resorts on this list, which has always surprised me given the fact that Atlantis is a fair distance away from downtown Reno, where many of the city's most popular attractions are located.

If you're in town for an event at the Reno-Sparks Convention Center, Atlantis should be your go-to as it's one of the closest luxury hotel at just under an easily-walkable half-mile away. Additionally, they offer free airport transfers to and from the nearby Reno-Tahoe International Airport.

2. Grand Sierra Resort

The Grand Sierra Resort has remained a prominent fixture in Reno's skyline since opening in 1978. Its towering 27-story structure, with white walls and golden windows, along with the distinctive "GSR" red emblem, reflects a modern design that exudes elegance and grandeur.

While a fair distance from the heart of downtown Reno, Grand Sierra's relative remote location gives it a feeling of being on an island of its own. With an array of dining options, expansive gaming options (including sports book), bars, concert hall, shopping opportunities, spa, fitness center, movie theatre, arcade facility, and bowling alley, leaving may not be necessary.

The room rates are often reasonable, but can jump at times if there's an on-site concert with a big name artist or some other area event going on, such as Hot August Nights.

I've stayed here quite a few times and have never had an issue with cleanliness or service from the staff. The staff here are generally friendly and go out of their way to ensure a flawless guest experience.

Those traveling with kids will appreciate the lower level of the property, which features an extensive arcade-game facility, in addition to a movie theatre, bowling ally, brand-familiar eateries, an escape room, and more.

3. Whitney Peak Hotel

The exterior of the Whitney Peak Hotel in downtown Reno.

Located in the heart of downtown Reno and mere steps from the infamous Reno Arch, the Whitney Peak Hotel takes a refreshing step away from the traditional casino-heavy environment of downtown Reno by not having one. That's right, there isn't a single table game or slot machine on property.

Some may view that as a negative but those with small children will likely appreciate their quiet and smoke-free lobby. One major downside, though, is that the Whitney Peak Hotel doesn't feature a pool. That's the unfortunate trade-off.

Even without a pool, Whitney Peak is more than worth staying at. The property's location is unmatched, placed just steps away from the Reno Arch and within walking distance of several downtown favorites, including the National Automobile Museum, Truckee River Walk, Reno Events Center, Greater Nevada Field and more.

The hotel leans heavily into the active lifestyle (obvious, given its Mount Whitney namesake). One of their main amenities is their indoor rock climbing facility and fitness center, but most immediately take notice of the 164-foot tall exterior climbing wall, which ascends the side of the 16-story hotel tower.

Unlike other resorts on this list, Whitney Peak Hotel isn't exactly flush with dining options but don't fret, you're within walking distance of several amazing local restaurants (including a few of my personal favorites). These include Sierra Street Kitchen, Pine Street Biscuits, and the Depot Craft Brewery & Distillery.

4. Silver Legacy Resort Casino

The Silver Legacy lit up in green in downtown Reno.

If your goal is to stay in the heart of Reno in a hotel that's quintessential downtown, then Silver Legacy Resort Casino is for you. It's located just steps from the infamous Reno arch, offers nearly 90,000 square feet of gaming space, and lights up the downtown area with its signature green and gold hues.

Together with the El Dorado and Circus Circus, known collectively as THE ROW, Silver Legacy offers many dining options in-house, with others included with the neighboring properties. These include a Ruth's Chris Steakhouse and not one, but two, ​restaurants by famed chef Gordon Ramsay.

Accommodations at the Silver Legacy are designed with comfort in mind. Guests can choose from a variety of rooms and suites, each featuring modern furnishings, plush bedding, and flat-screen TVs. Many rooms offer stunning views of the Sierra Nevada Mountains or the bustling cityscape, providing a serene retreat after a day of exploration.

Rates fluctuate wildly here, more-so than most hotels in the area (this also includes its neighboring properties making up THE ROW) but unless there's a big name performing that weekend or there's a city-sponsored event taking place, nightly rates generally remain under $150.

5) J Resort

The exterior of J Resort in downtown Reno.

J Resort is the newest resort-style hotel offering in Reno. Its parent company, Jacob Entertainment, purchased the now former property of the Sands Regency last year and committed millions of dollars worth of upgrades and additions to not only the hotel, but its surrounding area as well.

Aside from the amenity and dining upgrades, the best one yet is the installment of the Neon Line. The Neon Line is an outdoor art-walk displaying several art installations once featured at the popular Buring Man event. You can walk it any time, but at night is where the art pieces truly come to life with lighting and musical effects.

As far as rooms go, J Resort offers guests spacious and thoughtfully designed rooms. Each accommodation features contemporary furnishings, including pillow-top mattresses and floor-to-ceiling windows that provide stunning views of the city or surrounding mountains. Modern amenities such as flat-screen TVs, USB charging stations and kitchens (in select rooms) ensure a comfortable stay.

This is most recent property my wife and I stayed at. We had an overall pleasant stay, but since the property's renovation was still in progress we weren't able to enjoy the pool or partake in all of the dining options (they have another restaurant opening sometime this year).

However, we paid less than $100 a night (the resort fee included) for our room and the dining options we did experience, which included their cafe "Hanna's Table" and their signature steakhouse, "J Paul's", were nothing short of stellar.

6. Peppermill Resort Spa Casino

Nestled in the heart of Reno, Peppermill Resort Spa Casino exudes a blend of modern luxury and classic elegance. Its interior is adorned with rich, warm tones, intricate mosaics, and Roman-inspired architecture. The resort's design seamlessly integrates artistic elements, featuring the "Windows of the World," a collection of high-definition displays showcasing exotic landscapes and vibrant imagery.

Accommodations at the Peppermill are thoughtfully designed to cater to a range of preferences, offering everything from well-appointed guest rooms to lavish suites. Each room is equipped with modern amenities, ensuring a comfortable and convenient stay. Guests can unwind at the resort's two geothermally-heated swimming pools, as well as their award-winning Spa Tuscana.

Fine dining options include Bimini Steakhouse, renowned for its hardwood-grilled steaks and seafood and Romanza, which offers exquisite Italian cuisine in a romantic setting. Casual dining venues such as Biscotti's present an expansive menu to please all palates, while Oceano features the freshest seafood and all-you-can-eat sushi.

Room rates at the Peppermill vary depending on the season and accommodation type, but the resort consistently offers competitive pricing for its range of luxury and comfort. Given its comprehensive amenities, diverse dining options, and exceptional service, the Peppermill Resort Spa Casino stands out as a premier destination in Reno.

My Honest Review of J Resort: A Downtown Reno Hotel

The exterior of J Resort Reno at night.

In early 2023, Jacob’s Entertainment completed the purchase of one of Reno’s oldest hotels, the Sands Regency. After promptly changing its name to J Resort, the company announced a nine-figure upgrade to the property, including an arts district, new pool, room and suite upgrades, restaurants, and more.

While the changes are ongoing, as it’ll take a couple more years for the project to reach completion, I recently had the opportunity to spend a weekend at J Resort and experience the changes made thus far.

Many people search for cheap hotels in Reno, you may be one of them. If so, I believe J Resort Reno is a solid option as its nightly rates are reasonable and is in an up-and-coming location near many attractions, including the Riverwalk, Reno Arch, and more.

Full transparency, J Resort did not offer me any kind of incentive to write this. I paid for my room and meals out of pocket. This is to ensure that I give you the most honest and unbiased review to help you decide if this property is what you and your family are looking for.

 

J Resort Reno Location, Parking and Rates

The exterior of J Resort Reno.

J Resort Reno’s main parking lot and entrance is located on Arlington Ave., but other entrances include the West 4th Street and Ralston Street sides as well. When it comes to parking, J Resort isn’t lacking what-so-ever. There are multiple parking lots around the property, in addition to a multi-story garage.

As is the case with most casino hotels in Reno, parking is free of charge for both registered guests and visitors, regardless of where you choose to park. For those who prefer valet, you can find that service at the main entrance off of Arlington.

The check-in desk at J Resort Reno.

If you’re coming from the parking garage, you’ll likely use the elevator attached to the Aspen Tower (more on those later). You’ll find the check-in desk straight ahead coming off said elevator. From the main entrance, walk straight through the casino and head up the short stairwell to reach it.

Compared to photos I’ve seen of the Sands online, J Resort has definitely upgraded the interior. Gone is the dated reflective paneling, as well as the reds and yellows that scream 1980’s Reno. They’ve been replaced with a more modern approach of cream-colored ceilings, with touches of blue and gold throughout.

You can still tell it’s an aged property, but the effort is just as noticeable. The casino is largely made up of slot machines, but they also have a walled-off high limit area and a few blackjack tables across from the check-in desk.

The slot machine area at the J Resort Reno.

In my experience, checking in was a breeze. They have self-check in kiosks, but both were out of commission. We had a bit of a wait, but the giant screen behind the desk featuring rotating photos of area attractions kept us occupied. I snapped a photo right as a photo of Emerald Bay, one of my most favorite places, popped up.

Once my credit card was approved, I was given my room keys and a quick break down of the property. All in all, checking in took about fifteen minutes (including waiting in line). That’s good, especially for a Saturday.

I booked our stay through Expedia and paid a total of $215 for two nights in an Aspen Tower king room, which included tax and the $30 per night resort fee. So not accounting for tax, I paid less than $100 per night. Looking at averages throughout the year, their rate tends to hover under that mark. If you’re looking for cheap hotels in Reno, I would consider starting here.

 

J Resort Reno Towers

The entrance to the Birch Tower at J Resort Reno.

There are three towers that make up J Resort Reno. They are the Aspen, Birch, and Cedar Towers. As of January 2025, Birch Tower and its room are under renovation and not available to book. Rooms in the Aspen and Cedar Towers are currently available, though.

Depending on which tower you’re staying in and the amenities you care most about, each tower offers its own set of locational advantages. For example, staying in the Birch Tower would put you close to the main hotel entrance, Hanna’s Table restaurant, the buffet and the smoke free area of the casino.

The Cedar Tower is the newest, but offers the least amount of advantages to guests. All you’re close to is the hotel entrance, a slot machine-heavy area of the casino, a small bar and the gift shop.

Conversely, the Aspen Tower is the only tower with rooms featuring kitchenettes and quick access to the 16th floor fitness center. Additionally, you’ll be closest to the check-in desk, J Paul’s Italian Steakhouse, the blackjack tables, and Afterglow Lounge.

 
 

J Resort Reno Aspen Tower King Room

The Aspen Tower King Room at J Resort Reno.

My wife and I booked a king room in the Aspen Tower and were pleasantly pleased with the upgrades. Each wall featured a different color in a mixture of creams and browns, with the main wall featuring a patterned design. The flooring is carpeted, which I look at as a negative as I personally prefer hard floor.

Aside from the king size bed, the room featured a bed bench, small work space, flatscreen TV, ironing board with iron, hair dryer, small array of toiletries, walk in-style shower, an abundance of USB ports and standard plugs, and a kitchenette with microwave, mini-fridge, and coffee maker.

The kitchenette in the Aspen Tower King Room at J Resort Reno.

The bathroom was much smaller than it looked in photos, but it was well appointed and made good use of the space. The walk in-style shower was a nice touch, though I can see this being a negative to families with littles who prefer bathtubs. Based on Expedia photos, it looked like the Cedar Tower rooms have bathtubs.

I loved the vanity lighting around the wall-sized mirror, though there is still direct lighting you can’t get around. I’m a huge proponent of indirect lighting, so I’m glad to see more and more hotels heading in this direction.

The bathroom in the Aspen Tower room at J Resort Reno.

Both the shower and bathroom floor were made of white marble tiles with a black design pattern (probably faux, to be honest, but it still looks nice). The shower was amazing, as it had the best water pressure of any cheap hotel in Reno I’ve stayed in.

I’m one of those people who inspects my room no matter the hotel. I don’t care if it’s Motel 6 or a Westin. Initially, this room appeared impeccable. To be fair, the bathroom, bed, carpet, and most of the kitchenette were clean. No signs of bed bugs, nothing left over in the bathroom, and no food particles in the microwave.

The walk in shower in the Aspen Tower room at J Resort Reno.

On the flip side, there were black marks and dust all over the A/C unit, mystery stains on the walls, and not-so-mystery stains on the bed bench. The biggest offender, though, was the inside of the coffee maker’s water compartment. It looked like it’s never been cleaned.

These findings didn’t affect us enough to change rooms, nor did they damper our stay. However, they’re worth mentioning. The rooms may have been upgraded, but this is still an old property dating back to the 70’s. There’s no way they would catch everything, but there needs to be more attention to detail when cleaning.

The closet in the Aspen Tower King Room at J Resort Reno.

Another negative was the severe lack of seating. The only options were the single office-style chair and the bed bench, which was out for us due to the visible stains discussed above. There was definitely room near the window to add a love seat or small couch, so I’m baffled as to why they omitted this.

On the flip side, there was an abundance of USB ports and standard plugs throughout the room, which is something a lot of hotels can’t say. There were two of each on each side of the bed, along with additional ports and plugs on the work desk, kitchenette and in the bathroom.

 

J Resort Reno Amenities

The exterior of J Resort Reno at night.

The changes at J Resort Reno are still ongoing, so a few of the typical amenities you’d find at hotels like this aren’t available at the moment. For example, they’re expected to open a new spa sometime in 2025 and they’re working on a new rooftop pool, among other amenities.

The current pool is seasonal as it’s unheated, so it was drained and unavailable to us during our stay. From what I’ve gathered from employees, it may not reopen at all as they’ll just wait to debut the upgraded one.

 

J Resort Reno Dining and Drink Options

The filet mignon at J Paul's Italian Steakhouse at J Resort Reno.

The high end dining offering at J Resort Reno is J Paul’s Italian Steakhouse. During our stay, my wife and I opted to dine here, as we’ve been to a number of Reno steakhouses and have yet to try this newest one. In short, our experience was simply stellar all the way through.

Of course, you have a hearty selection of cuts of both beef and bison. In addition, J Paul’s offers hand crafted Italian fare and seafood classics for those who wish to avoid red meat. They also feature specialty cocktails, offered in both the steakhouse itself and the neighboring lounge.

The entrance to Hanna's Table restaurant at J Resort Reno.

Their secondary dining option is Hanna’s Table, which is akin to a diner experience. Here, you’ll find typical dishes found at many restaurants, including smash burgers, pan-seared chicken, grilled ribeye, salmon, and a variety of breakfast options in the morning.

If you’ve been to Cafe Milano at the Peppermill, you’ll find it similar to that. Unlike Cafe Milano, though, it isn’t open 24/7 (as of now, at least). Hanna’s is currently open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. After hours, you can get coffee and quick grabs at neighboring Hanna’s Express (though it was frustratingly never open during my stay).

The BBQ Bacon Smash Burger at Hanna's Table at J Resort Reno.

My wife and I dined here for Linner (our term for a lunch + dinner combo) and were pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food. My wife ordered sliders while I ordered a barbecue bacon smash burger. Was it the greatest burger I’ve ever had? No. However, it was flavorful, cooked perfectly, and they didn’t charge me an arm and a leg.

The final dining option at J Resort Reno is The Buffet which is, you guessed it, a buffet. We didn’t partake, as I’m usually not a fan of buffets. However, the online reviews indicate it’s decent and it’s currently the only buffet option in the downtown area.

 

Afterglow Lounge

Afterglow Lounge at J Resort Reno.

The main lounge at J Resort Reno is Afterglow Lounge. The lounge/bar area is lit with bright neon pinks, yellows, greens, and ambers. I can’t say for sure how popular it is, as we were the only ones here on a Saturday night. If it does get crowded, I can see it being problematic with the lack of seating options.

The lounge at J Paul's Italian Steakhouse in Reno.

There’s a small stage near the main entrance of the lounge where musical acts perform. This typically occurs on Fridays and Saturdays at 9pm, though I was told those performance nights expand during the summer.

Additionally, there’s a small bar just off the casino near the elevators to the Cedar Tower. Beyond that, the only other option is the lounge at J Paul’s Italian Steakhouse. You do not need a reservation to sit at the bar and if desired, you can order food as well.

 

J Resort Reno Recreation

The fitness center at J Resort Reno.

As stated earlier in this post, the spa at J Resort Reno won’t be opening until later in 2025 and they’re working on an upgraded rooftop pool. So as of now, recreational opportunities are limited. Thankfully, there are a couple of ways to get your steps in.

On the 16th floor of the Aspen Tower is where you’ll find the fitness center. It’s fairly small, especially considering they advertise is as “world class” on their website. It does the job, though. You’ll find cardio equipment, weight machines, dumbbells, flat screen TVs, and a water bottle refill station.

 

J Resort Reno Neon Line

The Neon Line at the J Resort Reno.

Outside of J Resort Reno is the Neon Line, which features a vast and growing collection of art installations from Burning Man. You can view the pieces during the day, but at night is where they truly shine.

Each piece has its own story and some even have interactive elements. At night, they’re lit up and play music. During regular intervals, each piece stops playing the generic music and puts on a show, complete with lighting effects and movements.

The Rearing Horse Burning Man Art at J Resort Reno.

There’s no real beginning and end but for context, we began at the Rearing Horse piece on the corner of Ralston and West 4th Streets. From there, we walked up West 4th to Vine Street, then crossed the street and worked our way back down West 4th to the corner of West Street.

Clearly, J Resort is leaning heavily into Reno’s sprawling arts culture and I’m here for it. It helps J Resort to stand out from the other downtown area hotels. Honestly, exploring the Neon Line was my favorite aspect of our weekend here.

If you’re looking for cheap hotels in Reno, I’d recommend J Resort. Rates are cheap right now due to the ongoing construction and currently unavailable amenities, but in my opinion there’s still enough to keep you busy.

In addition, J Resort is a short walk from THE ROW in downtown, Reno Arch, Riverwalk, National Automobile Museum, Bicentennial Park, City Plaza, Nevada Museum of Art and more. To see more recommendations for best resort hotels in Reno, read my post here.

My Honest Review of TownPlace Suites Hotel Near Allegiant Stadium

When searching for hotels near Allegiant Stadium, many look to the resorts located on the southern end of the strip. A few of which include…

The exterior of TownePlace Suites near Allegiant Stadium.

When searching for hotels near Allegiant Stadium, many look to the resorts located on the southern end of the strip. A few of which include the Excalibur, Mandalay Bay and Luxor. However, just as many prefer Las Vegas hotels off the strip for a variety of reasons.

Since opening in 2020, Allegiant Stadium has been the new home of the Las Vegas Raiders and has played host to a variety of events. Due to this, Allegiant Stadium attracts millions of visitors on a yearly basis.

If you’re coming to Las Vegas, primarily for an event at the stadium, and you want to avoid the chaos of the strip, there’s an off-strip hotel near Allegiant Stadium that I’ve recently stayed at and recommend. It’s within walking distance of Allegiant Stadium and the strip, and offers solid amenities. Best of all, it’s reasonably priced.

In this review, I’m going to share photos of the property and room, and discuss their various amenities. Additionally, I’ll tell you about my experience and whether or not I would book here again. For transparency purposes, I was not given anything by the property in exchange for this review.

 

TownePlace Suites Location, Parking, and Rates

The exterior of TownPlace Suites, a hotel near Allegiant Stadium.

TownPlace Suites Stadium District (mouthful, I know), is located on the corner of Dean Martin Drive and Tropicana Ave., roughly half a mile from Allegiant Stadium. Its exact address is 4920 Dean Martin Drive, Las Vegas, NV, 89118.

During my stay, there was a ton of construction happening on Dean Martin Drive and the neighboring overpass, which made it an absolute nightmare driving in and out. However, the hotel is located directly off of Interstate 15, which is the jumping off point to Valley of Fire. Once construction is complete, it’ll be a conveniently located hotel.

Across the street from the property is an In & Out Burger, Chevron gas station, and a variety of other fast food restaurants and marts. TownPlace shares the property with a neighboring Hilton, and both of these hotels share the parking structure as well.

The parking garage at TownPlace Suites, a hotel near Allegiant Stadium.

The parking garage is four-levels, with additional parking in the small lot behind it. At TownPlace Suites, guests are charged a daily parking fee of $15. This is becoming more and more commonplace in Las Vegas, with free parking just about non-existent at this point.

Upon check-in, you’ll be given a code to get in and out of the parking garage. Additionally, there are EV charging stations on property. You’ll inquire about those with the clerk at check-in.

If you’re part of the Marriott Bonvoy program, it’s possible to obtain free parking. Not sure which tier my Dad is at but for what it’s worth, he was never charged for parking. It’s worth looking into if you’re a member.

The nightly rate varies greatly according to time of year, current events, and more. On average, you can expect to pay between $250-$350 per night. I believe we paid near the high point of that range. However, there are NO resort fees, which are commonplace for hotels on the strip.

 

TownPlace Suites Stadium District Amenities (Common Areas)

Exterior patio seating at TownPlace Suites, a hotel near Allegiant Stadium.

TownPlace Suites offers many amenities for guests, both in-room and throughout the common areas. In the exterior area just outside of the lobby are many lounge-style seating options with a propane-powered fire pit. Parts of this area are shaded, both by trees and an awning.

Inside, near the check-in desk, are additional seating areas. Some of it is for lounging or socializing, while other areas are reserved for dining during their complimentary, buffet-style breakfast. Breakfast is served:

  • Monday - Friday: 6:30am - 9:30am

  • Saturday & Sunday: 7:00am - 10:00am

The food offered at breakfast included a variety of yogurts (none of which were greek), waffles, pancakes, breakfast cereals, fruit, eggs, sausage (turkey and beef), and bacon. To be honest, it was just ok. The eggs tasted like the powdered, mix-n-go, type. But hey, it was free.

A seating area in the lobby of TownPlace Suites, a hotel near Allegiant Stadium.
The pool at TownPlace Suites, a hotel near Allegiant Stadium.

The pool is considerably small, especially given the locale they’re in. I can’t give it a proper review as it was closed during my stay for an unknown reason. The neighboring Hilton was allowing guests of TownPlace Suites to use theirs, though.

Inside the hotel, a few steps past the elevators on the right is where you’ll find the fitness center. Honestly, I was impressed with its size and amount of equipment, as many hotels of this type tend not to put a whole lot of effort into their gyms.

The fitness center in TownPlace Suites, a hotel near Allegiant Stadium.

When you first walk in, the cardio equipment and smith-style weight machine come into view. To the right are a few benches and a dumbbell rack with weights up to 65-pounds. Additionally, there’s water bottle refill station and a plethora of towels at your disposal.

Lastly, to the left of the check-in desk, you’ll find a grab and go market where you can purchase a variety of snack foods, candy, and drinks. To be honest, there’s nothing in there you couldn’t find across the street at Chevron at much better prices.

Most of the hotels near Allegiant Stadium have similar amenities, so there isn’t much here to truly make it stand out, in my opinion. Still, considering the size of the property and price point, they make good use of the space. However, the rooms are where this property shines most.

 

TownPlace Suites Stadium District One Bedroom Suite

The king bed in the one bedroom suite at TownPlace Suites, a hotel near Allegiant Stadium.

My Dad and I were in town for the Billy Joel concert at Allegiant Stadium, so we decided to book a one bedroom suite since it has a queen bed and a pull out-style couch in the living space. The room was impeccably clean, organized, and well appointed.

The main room comes with a queen-sized bed, a plethora of drawers for organization, flat screen TV, and a closet. While semi-small, it does the job just fine. My Dad reports the mattress and pillows as comfortable. However, there’s a severe lack of plugs and USB ports.

A full size closet in the one bedroom suite at TownPlace Suites Las Vegas Stadium District.

The room came with just about every kitchen amenity you could ask for, including a full-size refrigerator with top freezer, oven with stovetop, dishwasher, and microwave. In addition, you’re provided with a variety of cook and dish ware.

To be honest, we didn’t utilize any of it, with the exception of the refrigerator. That said, the set-up is fantastic. If you’re looking to save money in your food budget, you’ll have everything you’d need to make all of your meals right in your room.

Also in the kitchen is decently-sized coat closet. Inside is a stand-up ironing board, complete with iron, as well as bedding for the pull-out couch. One thing I really liked about this closet was the additional storage space.

The kitchen in the one bedroom suite at TownPlace Suites, a hotel near Allegiant Stadium.
The coat closet in the one bedroom suite at TownPlace Suites Las Vegas Stadium District.

The living space, along with the bedroom, is carpeted and comes with a couch that coverts into a bed (more on that later), plenty of drawer space, a flat screen TV, lap desk, rolling food tray and a work desk complete with lamp and a good amount of USB ports.

The couch, when utilized as such, is fine. When converted to a bed, though, it was far and away the most uncomfortable thing I’ve ever slept on. The “mattress” was so thin that I may as well have just slept straight on the metal bars underneath.

The bathroom with walk in-style shower at TownePlace Suites Las Vegas.

Despite this being the sole negative I experienced, it was a big one considering this was what I had to sleep on. If you decide to book this room, do yourself a favor and bring an inflatable sleeping pad, like this one, to give yourself more comfort.

Finally, the bathroom featured a walk in-style shower. These are my preference, but those with kids may prefer a tub. Going through Yelp photos, it appears as though this property doesn’t have any rooms with tubs. If that’s a deal breaker for you, you may want to call the property to verify.

Mounted on the shower wall are full-size containers of shampoo, conditioner, and body wash by Alice & Co. Botanicals. Additionally, on the sink counter are hand wash bars and tissues, as well as a blow dryer on the shelf underneath.

 

How Close to Allegiant Stadium is TownPlace Suites?

TownPlace Suites within walking distance to Allegiant Stadium.

TownPlace Suites is one of the many hotels within walking distance of Allegiant Stadium. If you’ve ever been to an event here, you’d know how much of a hassle it is to park or worse yet, the complication of summoning an Uber when the event is over.

When my wife and I came here for a Beyonce concert, we were hit with a three figure Uber ride back to our hotel, all thanks to surge pricing. Additionally, it took close to two hours for our Uber to reach us.

This time around, I was able to save myself a lot of money and hassle by simply walking a short distance back to my hotel. From the hotel’s lobby to security check at Allegiant, TownPlace Suites was just over a half-mile (or about thirteen minute), straight-shot walk down Dean Martin Drive.

As far as safety is concerned, my Dad and I walked this street numerous times, both during the day and at night. Not once did anyone bother us. Additionally, on the night of the concert, there was a heavy police and security presence along the street.

If you’re looking for hotels near Allegiant Stadium, TownPlace Suites Stadium District is a solid option. Additionally, while it’s a hotel off the strip, it’s still close enough to the action. Nearby is the Titanic Artifact Exhibition museum in the Luxor, which is a great family-friendly activity on the strip.
