Good to hear. Westin is fine by me...clean rooms, close to all the good casinos, and $1 PBRs at the Stage Door. Have avoided the Jaeger shots.

SLS is awful and horrible location. Felt like I was staying in a poorly done haunted house.

Yea the SLS is not in the best part of town. The old Sahara...plenty nearby however. You want the best Thai food restaurant in the country, Lotus of Siam on Sahara! Just about walking distance. Very short cab ride. Just don't judge a book by its cover, if you just look at the outside of the restaurant you'd never go in.
+1 on Lotus of Siam. Phenomenal restaurant. Just don't let he green lights of the place across the parking lot lure you in.

The Italian restaurant (forget the name) next to Stage Door is really good too. Not cheap but free wine with your meal so overall a good deal.

Is this place toward or away from the strip?

East on Sahara (away from strip). Area is a little shady but worth the trip.

Had my first stay at the SLS last trip. Car alarms went off in the parking lot three times in the middle of the night, non-airline guests laughing at shouting in the hallway at 730am, basically usesless internet connection (had to tether my phone to file a PDR).

I was not impressed. Awful location. Mediocre room. You can tell just walking around that you're in the low rent district. Highly disappointed. Weston is 1000x better.

It's named Batista's Hole in the Wall. An icon from the rat pack era. A bit more touristy now, but still worth the trip because the food remains, from what I remember, very good. It's been a few years for me, though.

Battista's is great. Dinner includes salad, entree, cappuccino and all the wine you can drink. It's across Flamingo from the back door of Bally's.
