Union Plaza Room 1426  posted 5/6/01

I was in a two queen bed room (1426) with a very nice view of the pool (and mountains over on the right, but the other building straight ahead), clean and probably renovated fairly recently, very large bedroom and manageable bathroom, $1 tip per day to the maid getting me enough soap and shampoo to open a convenience store.  The checkin guy was pretty rude and the coffee shop people didn't seem at all interested in being nice, but overall I'd definitely stay here again if the price was right and I needed to be downtown.  Thanks to Phil's L.A. Times deals I got $25 midweek and $60 weekend (if I'd played a while in the poker room I could have got that down to $45).  The only bad news was the phone didn't have a data port so I had to unplug the phone wire each time, except the little clip was snapped off, so every night I had to go through a little ritual with a paper clip to pry out the plug.  Local calls are 50 cents for unlimited time.  I'd better stop with the hotel details now, I sense a Bermanesque (tm) feeling coming on.

Union Plaza Room 1439 posted 12/2/01

NOVEMBER 12-17 PLAZA TOWER AT THE END BY VALET PARKING ROOM # 14?? (DON'T RECALL, THINK IT WAS 1439 BUTT NOT SURE) ROOM DESCRIPTION... LET'S SEE, HAD A DOOR (WITH A LOCK THAT WORKED), A WINDOW (IT DIDN'T OPEN THOUGH), A TV (WITH REMOTE CONTROL) TOWELS (BOTH HAND AND BODY), WASH CLOTHS, SOAP, AND SHAMPOO. THE ROOM WAS OF ADEQUATE SIZE FOR THE TWO OF US AND IN ADDITION TO THE TWO BEDS, HAD A NICE LITTLE TABLE AND A COUPLE OF CHAIRS, A NICE CHEST OF DRAWERS ( I THINK IT HAD 6 DRAWERS-I'LL TAKE NOTES THE NEXT TIME SO I CAN BE MORE ACCURATE) FOR US TO STORE OUR UNDERWEAR AND OTHER NON-HANG ABLE ARTICLES OF CLOTHING, AND A NICE LITTLE AREA WITH A ROD TO HANG OUR HANG ABLE ARTICLES. THERE WAS A BUCKET FOR ICE ( I WENT SEVERAL TIMES TO FETCH ICE FOR MY BRIDE) AND 4 NICE LITTLE INDIVIDUALLY WRAPPED PLASTIC GLASSES (OF WHICH I THINK WE USED MAYBE TWO OF. my WIFE REQUESTED AN IRON AND IRONING BOARD WHICH WAS WAS EXPEDITIOUSLY FETCHED UP TO OUR ROOM (AND ALTHOUGH THE PERSON SHE CALLED SAID TO CALL BACK AS SOON AS SHE WAS FINISHED WITH IT, WHEN SHE DID SO, IT REMAINED FOR THE DURATION OF OUR STAY-DIDN'T MATTER THOUGH, BECAUSE THERE WAS PLENTY OF ROOM AND IT NEVER ONCE GOT INTO OUR WAY). THE VIEW FROM OUR ROOM WAS OF THE TENNIS COURT AND THE SWIMMING POOL. THERE WASN'T MANY FOLKS IN THE POOL, AND ONE DAY THERE WAS AN OLDER FELLOW ON THE TENNIS COURT. I ADMIT THAT I WATCHED HIM FOR A FEW MINUTES ( I WAS WAITING FOR MY DARLING BRIDE TO EMERGE FROM THE SHOWERING FACILITY) AND I TRIED TO IMAGINE WHICH OF THE FORUM FOLKS HE COULD BE...HE HD FOUR TENNIS BALLS, HE'D LOB THEM OVER THE NET, THEN HOBBLE TO FETCH THEM AND RETREAT TO THE SAME SIDE AND REPEAT THE PROCEDURE!! I'LL ADMIT THERE WAS MORE THAN ONE COME TO MIND WHEN HE FAILED TO SIMPLY HIT THEM BACK TO THE OTHER SIDE!! I COULD ALSO SEE SOME RAILROAD TRACKS AND INTERSTATE 15-BOTH NORTH AND SOUTH BOUND SIDES. TRY AS I MIGHT, I CAN'T POST A NEGATIVE THING ABOUT THE ROOM-I REFUSE TO FABRICATE SOMETHING MERELY FOR POSTING PURPOSES. AS FOR THE COST, IT'S PAID FOR AND UNLESS SOMEONE IS WANTING TO REIMBURSE ME, IT'S NOT REALLY ALL THAT BIG OF AN ISSUE. LET US SAY THAT IS IN INDEED AFFORDABLE AND A VALUE FOR YOUR LODGING DOLLAR. WE WAS CLOSE TO THE ELEVATOR, AND EVEN CLOSER TO THE CASINO ON DISMOUNTING THE ELEVATOR AND THE BOTTOM OF OUR RIDE. WE HAD A NONSMOKING ROOM, AS DID THE COUPLE WE JOURNEYED WITH WHO HAD THE ADJOINING ROOM. HE SMOKED IN THEIR NONSMOKING ROOM, BUTT NO ONE CAME UP AND MADE HIM QUIT. THERE WAS NO STAINS NOR DID I DETECT A SINGLE BURN SPOT IN THE CARPET-WE ACTUALLY HAD MAID SERVICE THIS TRIP (MY BRIDE KEPT THE TRAVELERS CHECKS IN HER PURSE-THERE WAS NO SAFE IN THE ROOM EITHER) AND FOR YOUR INFORMATION I LEFT AN ENVELOPE WITH A CRISP NEW $10.00 BILL IN IT MARKED 'HOUSEKEEPING' FOR WHOEVER EXERTED THE EFFORT TO SWAP OUT THE TOWELS, LEAVE NEW SOAP, AND SHAMPOO. OH YEAH, WE HAD FACE TOWELS TOO...AND MORE THAN TWO OF THEM-WE HAD THREE OF EACH OF THE THREE VARIETIES OF TOWELS IN ADDITION TO THREE WASH CLOTHES EACH AND EVERY DAY WE WAS THERE!! YES INDEED, I'D NOT ONLY STAY THERE AGAIN (AND WE SHALL) I'D ALSO RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE ELSE WHO IS LOOKING FOR A NICE CLEAN PLACE TO STAY IN DOWNTOWN LAS VEGAS. I THINK THAT IS EVERYTHING YOU REQUESTED, IF NOT SAY SOMETHING AND I SHALL TRY TO ADD IT ON.  Index  

Union Plaza Room: North Tower 812 posted 11/24/02

Day:  Sunday Monday Tuesday Saturday
Dates: 11/16/02 -- 11/19/02
Rate:   50
Recommend: Yes
Agency: Plaza Website
Amenities: North Tower 812, a petite suite, is located dead in the middle of the main tower.  Its located close to the elevator and close to the ice machine.  It has a refrigerator in the room, and also had a table with chairs and a couch and coffee table. 
View: This room had a great view of the Fremont Street Experience, although it might have been slightly better from 1 floor down (712). Great during the shows to watch from the balcony instead of always having to go down and watch from the street Other:  The  bathroom was slightly small, but I didn't spend much time in their except for showers and nature calls.  The phone had a dataport, and the king bed was relatively comfortable.  For the price this was definitely worth what I paid.  Walking distance to most all downtown casinos.  Index  

Union Plaza Room 321 posted 9/26/04

the deluxe room was on the 3rd floor and it was delightful.  It was very
similar to the one in Sunset Station with a couple of differences.  It had
lovely pictures on the walls, a nice size mirror and a full length mirror in
the sitting area. [Room 321 C.Hog!]  I was very happy. Index  

Union Plaza Room 817 posted 10/12/05

Booked a "deluxe room" from the Plaza's website. It cost about 100 dollars more for the five nights. From the looks of my buddies' rooms, the only real upgrade here was a decent sized refrigerator. The bathtub and toilet are separate from the sink and both occupy cramped quarters. The sink shares space with the closet and is carpeted which is weird. Barrick Gaming provides you with a "traveler's kit" with a razor, toothpaste and sewing kit along with lotions, shampoo and conditioner. The rest of the room is fairly large with a small table and chairs. It is sparsely appointed with a chest of drawers and armoire with a small television that gets about 6 channels. The view is pretty crappy. It overlooks the Union Pacific freight line although the trains zooming past didn't seem to bother us all that much. The carpeting is old and dirty. The hallways need revamping with chipped molding everywhere and an awful smell emanating (we thought) from the ice machine down the hall. Elevator service was pretty snappy. Index

Union Plaza Room 1628 North Tower posted 1/20/07

Room 1628 in the North Tower is unspectacular and is in the early
stages of becoming threadbare but isn't unacceptable.  It's a
non-smoking room with only trace amounts of that Plaza odor that
permeates the skin.  Our view:  The Plaza!  The South Tower sat outside
our window along with a nice looking mountain in the distance.  All in
all I was satisfied with the room and in the end I didn't have a
choice because the Plaza was the only hotel downtown that would allow a
Saturday check-in with a one night stay. Index
