We stayed in a 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo from 4/30-5/4. We paid a reduced rate ($206/night including tax) using a Travelzoo promotion. The condo was as pictured on the website and was clean and comfortable. We did have maid service every day during our stay. Everything would have been fine except for a few problems that were quite annoying. First, when we arrived at our building, the electronic door opener to the underground garage didn't work. Second, when we went to use the telephone in the room, it didn't work. We reported this problem on the first night of our stay (Wednesday). The next day we were left keys for another room. When we checked the telephone in this room, it didn't work either. Although we were told that they would send someone over with keys to another room, they didn't. The third problem we experienced was the thermostat for the air conditioning unit didn't work. If you turned it on, it never shut off. The first morning we woke up to a room that was 57 degrees. Finally, the elevator was broke from Friday evening until we left on Sunday morning. Since we were on the third floor, this was a major inconvnience.

We arrived at the Meridian on May 8, 2008 and we were pleasantly surprised to see that it is more like a luxury condo complex. A gate and guard to enter the complex made us feel very safe and like we were at a really exclusive place. We checked in around 11am which is early since most hotels are 2-3pm and they didn't bat an eye...got us right into a top floor room.

So, we walk in and are stunned to see this posh place decked out in leather, marble and granite looking like Ethan Allen came in and furnished the whole place! There was a full kitchen with stainless steel appliances (water/ice maker in fridge door!), really cool square dishes and a full spice rack among other things. Dining room, living room with an awesome flat panel TV and free wireless internet access! Bathroom had tons of space and the bedroom (also had flat panel TV) was beautiful and had a huge closet the length of one whole wall and the doors were all mirrors. There's a coat closet and another closet holding a washer and dryer with detergent already there!

The only issue we encountered was that the bathroom faucet was missing the screen so water splashed everywhere...well I briefly mentioned it to the concierge on our way out and we come home a few hours later...voila! Screen on bathroom faucet!

There are two gorgeous pools and beautiful lounge chairs that are like big couches...very chic! There are other great amenities that we didn't even get to...like tennis courts, sauna, and more stuff that I can't even remember.

The concierge was very helpful with all of our questions, making plans and she recommended some great towns to see and restaurants to eat at. I also found out that this place will stock your fridge before your arrival with anything you want! I think they have a grocery list that they email you.

The last day I was concerned because we flew Southwest, we had to check in exactly 24 hours before to get a decent place in "line", so I stopped at the front desk to ask if the kiosk they had there would print out my boarding pass and the she said it would but insisted on doing it for me! They were so helpful!

Housekeeping did an excellent job every day. It was very quiet...we barely ran into anyone. I really liked that you could go to the Strip for all the action and come back to a nice quiet relaxing place to sleep off all the partying ;)

I can not say enough good things about this place. The Meridian is just off of the Strip on E. Flamingo. You could walk to the Strip, but in summer heat I'd rather drive...especially since there's free parking at every casino!! For the location, accomodations and price, this place is UNBEATABLE!

I just returned from a weekend stay at the Meridian. I was wary about staying off the strip at this development as one of the reviews stated in was "filthy". The funny thing is that I just read a review of another person disputing this.

Well, here is my take. The location is very good and the rooms are very well appointed. However, outside of the rooms, yes the place is not very clean. The spacious pool area is amazing. However, the pool cushions are really dirty. (You must lay towels down on the cushions to avoid sitting on dirt) The pool decking is really dirty and did not want to walk barefoot on it. The bbq's at the pool are just plain disgusting and would never in a million years cook on them.

The other thing that was real disturbing was that I stayed on the 4th floor and the flooring is just unsightly. All the paint is peeling and coming up and it looks like the floor has not been swept in years. Just plain unacceptable. (The same garbage was on the floor for the 3 days I was there and was never picked up)

Another comment prior said it perfectly......If they can straighten out the cleanliness issues on the property, this place would really be a hidden treasure as no other property near the strip can duplicate the spacious feel of the property.

We booked a two-bedroom, two-bath suite at the Meridian through a deal found on Hotwire (Promotional code PROM1 on Meridian's reservations page).

After checking in, driving to our end of the complex, and lugging our bags upstairs from the garage, we discovered that our keys did not work. We called the front desk and were told they would send a bellman over with new keys. Thirty minutes later we called again and were told that it would be faster to walk over and grab new keys ourselves.

Service at the Meridian is next to non-existent. Housekeeping didn't clean our suite while we were out. You're basically renting an apartment with full-amenities and then you're on your own. Don't expect to be treated like you would at a casino/resort.

Staying off-Strip has its advantages (it's quiet) and disadvantages (no cabs!). On Saturday, we called the front desk and asked for help calling two cabs. We waited for 30 minutes and never saw one. We ended up trying to hail a cab from the Koval gate of the complex and were able to hail just one. The Strip is walking distance but if you must take a cab, you're better off walking over to the Westin Casuarina's taxi stand across the street.

The suites were fully equipped with a washer/dryer and all kitchen utensils and appliances (including a blender!). Beware, however, of dishes in the cabinet. We pulled out a couple of dishes with food still stuck to them!

The Meridian website claims that the 2 bed/2 bath suite has "private baths for each bedroom" but we found that only the master bath is private. The second bathroom is a guest bath located just outside the second bedroom. Floorplans and layout vary from suite to suite.

The decor is nice, the beds are comfy, the towels are plush, and showers are the BIG, rain-type. Lighting, however, is a problem. The suites are dark and have little artificial lighting. Our 2 bed/2 bath did not have a desk.

The pool was not heated. And by the way, the continental breakfast is not free. It's $1 per item. You're better off driving to the Albertson's down the street.
