Just returned from Vegas. Stayed at Hilton tower at LV Hilton Resort World. Our friends stayed at Conrad tower next door in same complex. The Hilton tower's window view is the parking lot, versus Conrad tower room was bigger/nicer and had a nice view of "Enchant", which is like a theme park of Christmas lights maze, and various activities.
Here's my ratings:
Hotel: the Hilton tower is adequate, but if you can afford it get the 2 room suite at Conrad tower with a view.
Food: Resort world has the largest Asian themed food court in Vegas, which looks great on surface but quality of food is poor. We had a large party and ordered a variety of dishes. The ramen chashu and soup tasted off, worst Hainan chicken ever, yakitori that resembled something out of a microwave, you get the idea. Go eat elsewhere.
Enchant: They put quite a lot of effort into this and I think it's worth the ticket price to take the kids. Needless to say prices on drinks and snacks are high inside.
Casino: Either we got lucky or they have better slot payout vs other Casinos on the strip.
Location: Walking distance to couple strip clubs (yes it's that side of town), but short drive to Chinatown restaurants, LV outlet mall (parking is packed), Children's discovery museum ($15, 3 stories of playground, worth the $), etc.
Other notes:
Peggy Sue's 50's diner outside of Barstow actually serve decent diner food. The dinosaur park out back has seen better days with the gift shop closed, but inside the restaurant you will find a gift shop and old style ice cream parlor for the kids. They get pretty packed, but there are other options nearby if you don't want to wait. Didn't make it to Calico ghost town but will visit next time.
Haven City Market food hall in Rancho Cucamonga has a good selection of eateries and not too far from Victoria Gardens: https://www.havencitymarket.com/
