I’ve stayed at Crockfords several times now and enjoyed all of my stays. You can find a full review of the property here and another review focused on a room here. I was in Las Vegas again last week and spent two nights at Crockfords Las Vegas, LXR Hotels & Resorts. This time I was upgraded to a One-Bedroom Entertainment Strip View Suite. It was lovely and way more space than I needed just for me. The room was booked under a Hilton Impresario rate. This gave me free breakfast, a $100 food and beverage credit, and perhaps this upgrade.

Resorts World has been my choice for lodging multiple times since it opened in summer 2021. The resort features a mall, casino, theater, tons of restaurants and bars, a spa, and seven pools for three hotels: Las Vegas Hilton at Resorts World (review here), Conrad Las Vegas at Resorts World (review here), and Crockfords Las Vegas, LXR Hotels & Resorts. Until 2007, the property had been the Stardust Resort and Casino. The current complex cost $4.3 billion and is a gorgeous space to visit or stay.

Anthony’s Take: I had checked in online and when I went to the desk to get keys there was no mention made of my upgrade. This was a pleasant surprise and makes me want to try to book more Hilton Impresario rates in the future. I loved having breakfast, a $100 property credit, and more included at a rate that was the same as booking on Hilton.com.

Crockfords Booking

Booking

As mentioned, the room was booked for me through my company on a Hilton Impresario rate of $259 per night plus taxes and Daily Resort Fees. The Daily Resort Fee is added to all reservation at a rate of $50 plus tax. This includes Wi-Fi; smart TV casting ability; 10% off spa or fitness retail; 5% off spa or fitness treatments; 5% off cabana experience; 5% off 2 pool chair experience; unlimited local and toll-free calls; Access to 7000+ top newspapers and magazines from over 300 countries using the PressReader app. Had I booked the rate through Hilton.com, it would have actually cost $37 more.

Transportation to/from the Hotel

I took a taxi from Las Vegas’ Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) to Crockfords. The approximately 4.4-mile trip took around 16 minutes and cost $28 plus tax and tip. Las Vegas taxis are now metered by zone. I took an Uber Premier to the airport when leaving and that also took about 20 minutes and cost $43.

Location

As mentioned in past reviews, the hotel is located on the north end of the strip. It’s a bit quieter over here versus the other end near Mandalay Bay. You’re a quick walk from lots of other casinos as well as a short ride to anything else you’ll want to see. I was able to check out the new Fontainebleau since it’s a short walk away.

Check-in

I arrived around 11:30 PM and was immediately assisted by an agent. I had booked a City View Superior Room – 1 King, but was upgraded to a City View, One Bedroom, Entertainment Suite (in Crockfords West, which is in a separate tower that’s shared with the Hilton and it has its own elevator bank). The agent did not mention the upgrade and I was surprised when I opened the door. He provided me with a letter that outlined the benefits of Hilton Impresario and I had my keys a moment later. I knew that I’d also receive 1,000 points as an amenity. With keys in hand, I made my way to the Crockfords West elevators and the 62nd floor. I wish Crockfords still gave the cool keys above (these went away last year).

  • Early check-in and late checkout based on availability
  • One tier-category room upgrade; based on availability

Crockfords Hallway

The tower also houses the Hilton, but the elevators are designated just for Crockfords West (it occupies the upper floors). You need to walk down a long hallway to reach the elevators.

Once there, the elevators were speedy. A separate, small lobby is here for Crockfords West guests. I never saw anyone there during my stay.

Hilton Impresario Dining Benefits

With the rate I booked, I was given free breakfast as well as a $100 food and beverage credit.

For dinner one night, I went to FUHU. It was easy to use the $100 credit here and dinner was delicious.

FUHU Dinner

I had the Spicy Hamamon, Traditional Roasted Half Duck, and Spicy Duck Noodles. I was stuffed and so happy with this meal.

Overall Impression: Resorts World is a beautiful destination and Crockfords is my favorite of the three hotels here. Its understated elegance, quiet lobby away from the casino floor, room comfort, and the amenities are all excellent. I can’t wait to stay again.
