As the General Manaer of the hotel I would like to respond to the traveler that rated my property in November. The hotel the guest was referring to is actually located on Tropicana. We are located in the upscale Lakes community just east of Summerlin. Our hotel is setback, approximately 100 yards from Sahara and I can guarantee that no street noise is evident from the property.

I visit Las Vegas by automobile monthly for a week of business and this particular La Quinta is a welcome, comfortable and convenient 'home away from home'. There are 6 restaurants, 4 fast food venues and a multi-screen theater in the adjacent shopping mall. A Whole Foods Market is 3-minutes driving nearby and a food court visit there helps break up the monotony of regular business travel when I actually taking advantage of a suite's sofa and table. I usually avoid casino/hotel lodging and the hospitality at this particular LQ will bring you back. I have never become aware of traffic 'rumble' as the property sets back over a block from Sahara Blvd. The management and staff actually understand 'hospitality', a concept rapidly disappearing from too many chain hotels, regardless of size. Try it and you'll like it!

I wonder if I stayed at the same place as the previous reviewer. The hotel is set well back off the road in an expensive looking neighborhood. The room was quite large and well appointed, as was the tv. Everything seemed spotless. The breakfast was amazing. If this was continental, I can't imagine what a full breakfast would be like. They even had hard-boiled eggs and sausage rolls in addition to make your own waffles. Short of a full breakfast buffet, I've never seen a breakfast so good. The staff was obliging, upgrading our room when we were unhappy with what we received. Booking on the hotel's own website is important if there's a mistake. I've found this at other hotels too - they are not thrilled with you if you use a secondary site and the prices aren't necessarily cheaper. The value here is quite good too.

Just passing through one evening with dogs -- only place in Vegas that
we could find that would take dogs. Room was average size, only averagely clean. We were on side facing Sahara and traffic was VERY loud. Sirens all night and cars zooming by non-stop. TV was small and old. Staff was fine. We didn't spend anytime in lobby or elsewhere in hotel. Neighborhood seemed a little sketchy as well, but then again..
.. you're in Vegas.
