I visit Las Vegas a few times a year as my daughter works in one of the shows there. I am from Ireland.
We go to the Artisan for lunch and dinner quite a few times in the Mood restaurant and the food is so Nice and presented beautifully , and the staff so friendly.

We saw the wedding chapel while there and I have now booked my wedding for May 2012.
We have booked The Mood restaurant for our reception of course.
We are so looking forward to treating all our guests at Our favourite place.
I am emailing from Ireland and getting plenty of the info we need for our day.
I will let you know how it goes. So excited!!!

I travel for a living, therefore I'm under the impression "you've been to one hotel, you've been to them all." The Artisan does NOT fall into that category. I ABSOLUTELY loved it!!

My chin hit the floor when I walked into the lobby the other night. Visually stimulating!! It looks somewhat like the hunted mansion at Disneyland. Paintings covering the walls and ceiling, dim lit chandeliers, an entire library of books, candles, a fountain, mirrors, heavy drapes, statues, and the red elevator door (like the one in The Shining). I checked in quickly, dropped my bags in my room, grabbed a glass of wine at the bar, and went on a tour.

The halls are completely decorated with artwork from all different types of artists. Each room is dedicated to one particular artist. The rooms are quaint, and provided what I was looking for.

The bar and restaurant were equally as intriguing, with good food and beautiful people. The patio area is so cool and comfortable, and the pool looks like it would be the perfect place to be when the weather warms up.

I love that it's not a casino, and it is the local after hours hot spot. It is a party all weekend long. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. I can't wait to see them again soon.

We arrived on a thursday night and everything went pretty smooth with the check in. But once it came time for bed, well that never happened. We didn't sleep at all music played ALL night till about 10am. We were informed about their night club and told they were putting us on the top floor where it was quiet. Haha yea right it was sooo loud it seemed like there was a speaker outside our window. We cod even hear people in their parking lot. It is so ridiculous to play your music outside. Keep it inside so your actual hotel guests who like to sleep don't have to hear it. The next night the same thing happened. We also had a ton of people in our hallway who were yelling at each other off and on through out the night and early morning. We called down to the front desk (around 4am) to get someone to come and shut them up. They said to us they were sorry and they could get the manager on the phone and maybe we could get a free night. Are you serious!  We don't care about that all we wanted was security to come and take care of the situation. We were told someone would be up in ten minutes, but surprise they never showed.  So Saturday night rolls around and it's about 2am and the cleaning people decide they are going to vacuum the room right next to ours!  Of course that was loud but the guy decided to ram the vacuum into the wall a couple times and he also had the tv up super loud so he could here it over the vacuum!  I finally got mad enough I got up and asked him to stop which he did. But vacuuming at 2am! Come on people. When we confronted the front desk about our stay they pretty much had that [--] it attitude and said well it happens!  You know if you want a nightclub then have a nightclub without a hotel. This was not our first time here. We stayed a few years back and it was nothing like that. It's sad what this hotel has turned into. We will NEVER come back!

We arrived on a friday evening and the first room that we were put in the ceiling was leaking over the bathtub, then we were put in a second over the club and we couldn't sleep for music going all night. couldnt turn the heater on because it sent out a foul odor. the window didn't have a screen, and it didn't wanna close. I will never refer this place to anyone I know, not even a homeless person if they could stay for free.
