"In Vegas, folks looking for a bargain often try out less expensive "nongaming" properties but find themselves either far from the Strip or bored silly. Cue the nongambling Platinum Hotel."

"This swank, nongaming, condo-hotel has become a fashionable hideaway for Vegas regulars who prefer top-notch amenities but don't need to stay on the Strip." Full review

"The second condo-hotel to open in Las Vegas (the first was the Residences at the MGM Grand), this highly impressive property sits within a five-minute walk of the Strip." Full review

"This non-gaming, non-smoking hotel is a nice respite with its one- and two-bedroom suites, which range from 900 to 1,100 square feet."
