Delano Hotel Review: the sexiest and most comfortable? Review and comparisons
Delano Hotel Review. Delano is by far one of the best resorts in Las Vegas, despite its South Strip location. Its level-entry (2 bathroom) suites are properly divided into two separate areas, namely living room and bedroom (with a door thus ensuring privacy and silence from the corridor noises) and their bedrooms are not only very comfortable and perfectly appointed, but also sensual and sexy. Very rarely is a Vegas resort room or suite so sensual that you actually want to stay in it rather than venture out. It’s therefore perfect for romantic stays. The resort itself offers the amenities which Mandalay Bay enjoys (great beach and pool areas albeit closed during winter; also a 24 hour fitness area) as well as it’s own spa and larger gym. But it’s much better laid out for valet parking and taxi and it enjoys a more boutique-type entry. It’s easy to find the tram to Excalibur from its ground floor entrance (which faces the Mandalay Bay casino) and the casino itself is easy to navigate.
Delano Hotel Review: buffet. The Mandalay Bay buffet is close enough though not the best in Vegas; for much better buffets in Vegas, you need to venture to Mid Strip.
There is noise from the outside through the large windows on occasion (no real soundproofing, but this is common in many Las Vegas hotels, unfortunately) so you will never have perfect silence. The Strip view is a vertical one (from the bottom of Luxor looking northbound towards Stratosphere) when you do stay in a ‘view suite’. It’s perfectly located for the huge new stadium.
The living room is narrow and not the most comfortable but it’s functional enough; there is no kitchen, only a sink and a Keurig coffee maker (you will have to buy the coffee pods, of course) and the omnipresent minibar. There is not a huge amount of storage area (we are still referring to the level-entry suites, as always, since they are the most common type of accommodation) so you may have to improvise if you have plenty of clothes or personal items. The ice bucket is the smallest and most impractical we’ve seen (albeit beautiful) but the 2 bathrooms are very welcome, the second being very large and offering great water pressure.
Delano Hotel Review: Customer Service. Customer service is the same as Mandalay Bay’s, therefore not the very best nor quickest for reasons which escape us, but if you don’t have to interact with them you will simply enjoy this sexy and comfortable resort with its sensual and comfortable suites. On a footnote, the suite we were in was clean to a higher standard than most Vegas resorts, equal to Encore (for example).
Delano Hotel Review: a note about its location
As with Mandalay Bay, we’re talking the very end of South Strip. This means there’s nothing around you and, if you don’t like to move much, you will be limited to the amenities that either resorts have to offer. If you wish to visit the popular mid Strip areas, you will need to use their free shuttle to Excalibur; it’s extremely frequent but it’s still an additional ‘step’; moreover, you will arrive at Excalibur, which means you still have to walk somewhat to reach mid-Strip. Not an issue for young and fit visitors, but something to consider if you are not too mobile and don’t want to rely on taxis. For any mobile person, the extra comfort and privacy offered by Delano’s sexy bedrooms far outweighs the inconvenience of the location.
Delano Hotel Review: comparisons. Considering other MGM resorts in Vegas, a Delano level-entry suite is sexier and better laid-out than the one at Signature (which however offers kitchenettes, at least one pool open in winter and two 24 hour gyms!), though not as bright as a level entry no-gaming Vdara Suite (which is more suitable for families and those who want a real kitchen).
