Access to the strip via the mall is super convenient and made it easy to access Bellagio, cosmopolitan and planet Hollywood casinos.

The four stars: great mid-Strip location, no smoking, no casino (but gamblers have an easy indoor walk to Planet Hollywood).

Parking is free and the location is near the major casinos and hotels on the strip.

nice resort and swimming pool, easy access to other hotel casino, fine restaurants around, the mall step away and resort provide 2 -16 oz starbuck coffee or 2 bottle of water. .

Planet Hollywood's Casino is connected via the mall offers more restaurants & gambling without even having to walk outside in the 100+ heat.

The locations is perfect, near all restaurants and casinos.

although there is no casino on site planet Hollywood is easily accessible and practically on site would definitely stay again.

It is connected to the Miracle Mile which connects to the Planet Hollywood, so it is a short walk to the casino or the Strip.

This hotel is right on the strip inside the Miracle Mile Mall so right next to casinos and shopping and the strip.

This means easy access to shopping, restaurants and a casino if you wish.

Excellent Hilton property, with convenient location to the strip and the Miracle Mile Mall, shops, restaurants, and casino.

It’s in a prime location on the strip, near some great casinos and restaurants, the Starbucks is convenient.

Great location - close to shopping and casinos.

The resort exits into the mall and there is a casino and plenty of varied and reasonable priced restaurants, bars to choose from and  without going outside.

Resort’s location is excellent, close to the strip, Casino, Shopping and Restaurants.

Elara is very convenient to the strip, no smoky casino to walk through.

The mall connects to Planet Hollywood so a casino is close by.

The Elara is a good location as it's only a 10 minute walk to the strip and easy walking to a number of Casino's with Planet Hollywood just outside the Elara.

Highly recommend this hotel with easy access to parking, shopping , and casinos.

The resort was on the strip, connected to Planet Hollywood with a fabulous connecting mall.

The best part was that it's connected to a shopping mall that provides several options for eating/dining & shopping.

It is directly connected to the mall, so all types of quick hit the places for coffee, restaurants, snacks and some shopping without getting out on the strip.

Amazing location right next to Planet Hollywood, connected by the Miracle Mile mall.

The Elara is conveniently connected to Planet Hollywood and the Miracle Mile on the Las Vegas Strip.

but has a perfectly sized pool and is connected to the shops.

It is connected to the planet Hollywood casino and magnificent mile mall.

Rooms were amazing high end and within walking distance to the strip centrally located connected to inside mall close to airport upper floors great view Rented 2 bedroom a and b side for 3 couples king size bed with queen bed and 2 pull outs each side could sleep 8 large space in main  unit wife was impressed usually bored with average units

but the room was connected to the 1 bedroom suite and they used the coffee pot there.

The vibe is amazing and love that it’s connected to the miracle shops when we get hungry and don’t feel like going down the strip.

The hotel is connected to the Miracle Miles Shops and Planet Hollywood with many restaurants to choose from. 2.

Being connected to Miracle Mile makes shopping and food convenient and economical.

The Elara is a modern high-rise with all of the amenities, connected to the Miracle Mile indoor shops and restaurants.

It is a short Uber ride from the airport and connected to the Miracle Mile shopping and Planet Hollywood Hotel/Casino.

Proximity to Vegas strip:  The property is well located mid-strip, about halfway between the MGM and Bellagio, and connected to the Miracle Mile Shops and restaurants.

It is connected to the miracle mile shops (oceans one is a great restaurant) and planet Hollywood.

but we didn’t even have to go outside since the property is connected to the mall.

The location is perfect - connected to Planet Hollywood Casino, and within walking distance of all the other major casinos on the strip.

The location was fantastic -- right on the strip -- and we loved that it was connected to the Miracle Mile shopping center (and Planet Hollywood) which helped us avoid walking outside in triple-digit temps, plus there were convenient food options within the shopping center.

It is a beautiful property in a great location.

Finally, they try to sell you a time share during check in…don’t fall for the  “welcome package”

Having said that, the location was great,  minutes from the strip, and there is a Starbucks in the lobby.

We have stayed at The Elara multiple time always enjoy the property and location on the strip.

And on top of all of that, we were in the most incredible location.

This is our timeshare location and is great for short trips.

The Elara offers a 5 star accommodations and great location in the center of Las Vegas.

For staying on the strip this location is absolutely perfect.

Overall, it was good because of the service and location.

Convenient location with everything you need being attached to the Miracle Mall.

Given how hot it was in Vegas - it was nice that the hotel was located or had direct access to a number of shops  and restaurants that make up the miracle mile mall.

Overall we loved the location and the rooms.

On calling the front desk/ guest services, we were told that construction was happening in the lobby and we could get ear plugs!!

The phone system is about to be “upgraded” in a few hours, so the only way to reach the front desk is in person…in line behind the gazillion people waiting to check in.

I do as I always do in a room check out the cleanliness, the whirlpool tub had a ring around it, the body wash was empty and the coach was horrible…upon siting on the couch you sunk straight down it was very uncomfortable.

Finally on my 4th call I was informed there would be no room cleaning during my 3 night stay.

Knowing how hard it is to trace the source of second-hand smoke, and with it being my last night, I didn't bother to call the front desk

but at least one phone call during our stay to check on us or “schedule” a cleaning  like other resorts on the strip would have sufficed .

I told them to call housekeeping, and they said housekeeping wouldn't answer them.

We had to use the living room plugs for our phones and then some of those were worn as well.

Dust on the lamps, dust on the bathroom mirror, dust on the phones, dust on the coffee machine, dust on the tv remote controls, etc.

We had to call 4 times to tell them we wouldn’t be arriving until midnight because our flight was delayed and only  on the 4th time did we find a person who could actually find out hotel reservation.

but no one has more than 2 bars on cell phone.

but I had to call Hilton when I hadn't received it three days later.

Rather than the local staff offering to do anything about it, they said we’d have to call customer service!

Wednesday I again had to call and was frustrated knowing I only had 1.5 days left and still no service.

There was not enough light by the closets in all of the rooms, had to use the flashlight on my phone to see what clothes I was picking out.

But don’t tell me “no problem” and then have me pay, get here, and after I have told you in three phone calls all I want is a view - put me looking straight into a parking lot.

It took me almost 2 hours after being bounced between DIAMOND Desk and Hilton VCB or whatever they call it, I finally got the feeling of a ping pong ball to stop and spoke to someone at the front desk that I would arrive last night, and he noted the folio for my arrival.

I went back to the hotel, and they're like, "Oh, we don't have a security desk. You have to call them."

It is also great to be able to go down and have a direct entrance to the Miracle Mile shops and restaurants, as well as only about a hundred yards from the Planet Hollywood Casino and all it has to offer.

Great location can go shopping at the miracle mile shops and get to Planet Hollywood casino.

The Planet Hollywood casino is a short air-conditioned 5-min walk away.

Walk right out the hotel into the mall to excellent food, shopping, and Planet Hollywood casino.

The Planet Hollywood Casino is just steps away, so you could gamble as much as you liked,

Beautiful non smoking clean resort within walking distace to the Mile Marker Mall, daiquiri shops, high-end shopping, plenty of dining options, Planet Hollywood casino, & entertainment.

The hotel is in a good location right above the Miracle Mile shops and next to the Planet Hollywood Casino.

It’s connected to the Miracle Mile shops, which also connects with Planet Hollywood casino.

Hotel is central strip was a short walk to MGM the lobby exits right onto Miracle Mile shops and Planet Hollywood casino also Cosmo is across street which is very plush and huge sports book.

Another added benefit of this facility is its close proximity to both the Planet Hollywood Casino and the Miracle Mile Mall.

This property is centrally located and connected to the Miracle Mile shops through which you can reach the Planet Hollywood casino if you want.

The Elara is has a great location directly behind the Planet Hollywood Casino and connected to the Million Mile Mall.

even though this property doesn’t have a casino, we played at the attached Planet Hollywood casino.

The plusses include the location, attached to the Miracle Mile shopping mall, and an air-conditioned walk to the Planet Hollywood casino, right on the strip.

Well laid out with direct access to the mall, zappos theatre and Planet Hollywood casino.

With the Miracle Mile shops and Planet Hollywood Casino and Elara pool and center strip location this HGVC resort is a Fabulous anchor point for an outstanding vacation.

Attached to the Miracle Mile mall and Planet Hollywood Casino, it made everything convenient.

It's an easy walk through the adjoining mall to Planet Hollywood casino and the rest of the Strip.

This room was also self contained so we were able to wash and dry clothes and prep some meals.

Overall, nice room, property and location.

The rooms were modern and spacious and the beds were comfortable.

We stayed 7 nights and on the 4th morning the room was cleaned, fresh sheets and towels.

Our rooms were clean, quiet and very comfortable.

Our room was immaculate and had the most incredible view of the desert mountains and the ever-entertaining sphere.

We requested a room that faced the new Sphere and got the perfect corner suite.

We will be excited to see the new upper floor rooms when they are open for booking in 2024.

Our room was beautiful and front desk was quick to respond.

Have to constantly beg to get fresh towels—not even asking to have the room cleaned,

Specific to our room, everything worked well and as expected, a glorious view of Las Vegas on the 53rd floor.

The views were amazing, and the room was clean and comfortable.

The room was very clean, large, and fully equipped.

Is it a nice place and a nice room - absolutely!

Fortunately, no sewage smell and by then the TV system was working again.

This is a non smoking hotel and you do not have loud music or noises like most casino resorts do.

The janitor’s entire bottle of enzymes was no match for the stench.

(Janitor had to come up with a bottle of “enzymes” to “eat the bacteria.” I asked why there are bacteria and he replied “because it’s drains”).

In addition my bathroom and entryway had the daily scent of marijuana coming from the bathroom vent.

But, I was very disappointed because I met with Patrice the receptionist at the front when I checked in, the lady looked down at me and told me don't smoke in the room or we will charge the fee.

My mother-in- law had to wear a mask because it was affecting her breathing.

Our room had a raw sewage smell so bad that they had to move us from 2 different room.

However, once we turned on the AC, the smell is not there. 2.

However, The room smelled like rotten eggs or worse.

(I will note, too, that the shower on the 33rd floor did not drain too well. But, there were no sewer smells that another poster mentioned.)

Additionally, we experienced a nasty sewer gas smell in the master bath our entire stay.

It was strange because my family and I smelt the same smell in the miracle mile shops, so maybe it’s something to do with the entire building/area?

The whole mall smells like a cross between sewage  and fried foods (like you would smell at a State Fair) and there are a LOT of shady looking people hanging out there.

We also had to sign a no-party document and were advised of the penalty fee for smoking in the room!

!., Not what I was expecting from a Hilton property, and for the price, I paid over $3000 dollars for 3 nights, just to get my family exposed to MOLD!

Dirty beat up brown doors
Extreme mildew smell in the carpet hallways
Broken air unit in room 
Dirty refrigerator 
Broken DVD
POOR QA QUALITY IN ROOMS 
As a Elara owner I was extremely disappointed in how much money I paid Hilton for ownership…..these specific floors are being managed as a Motel 6 business model, quickly turnover rooms with no quality inspection.

Elara is the nicest by far due to the fast elevators, pool, room size, employees, free parking and proximity to the strip.

The proximity to the Strip and reasonably priced food in the attached Miracle Mile Shops (Planet Hollywood) is unbeatable (La Salsa is cheap and delicious + $.99 bloody Marys!).

Stayed in a 2 bedroom on the 55th floor with a great view of the strip.

It was a spectacular view of the strip with the sun coming up over the mountains.

Great hotel, conveniently located just off the strip,

The location is at the end of the strip away from the major entertainment.

Starbucks option for breakfast on site, proximity to Miracle Mile shops and restaurants and just steps away from the strip.

The location is great, a shopping mall connects it to planet Hollywood which leads to the centre of the strip.

It is in a good location near the center of the strip with a mall that adjoins it to Planet Hollywood.

since we this issue with the room , we could spend time in the room Resort location was good , close to the strip, and Restaurants -so we spent majority of the time outside or staying in the Lobby .

The Elara is an amazing facility, well maintained, knowledgeable staff, and close to the strip without the noise of a casino.

Great location on the strip and close to everything… Thank you for making our first trip to Vegas a great experience!!!!! !

We had a choice between two hotels and I chose the Elara because it's located right on the strip and within walking distance to most everything.

It was close to the strip… the mall was a great access point to the strip.

Right there on the south end of the strip and close by everything there.

Parking is free and loved the closeness to the strip.

It is walking distance to most everything on the strip and it is attached to the Miracle Mile Shops which is nice

It is centrally located on the strip near the Miracle Mile shops.

Loved that we were close to the strip as well.

Being attached to a mall makes it great for meal and shopping options as is its proximity to the strip.

The staff were great - hotel was super amazing & glad we experienced being close to the strip.

The 3 bed king suite was so spacious it easily accommodated my family of 5 and views of sphere and centre strip were awesome.

From the higher floors (we were on 23) there are great views of the Sphere (north facing rooms/odd numbers) or the MGM, Luxor, Excalibur, etc (South facing rooms/even numbers).

Fast elevator to top floor with a great view of the surroundings.

The rooms are very nice, I stayed in a studio with kitchenette amazing views and super clean.

Our view from the 51st floor was fantastic!

The floor to ceiling windows provided beautiful vast Vegas views (Hint: get an upper floor).

So the good/amazing - our room was on the 56floor and the view was perfect day or night Vegas always gives you a fab view.

We had a great room with a fabulous view on the 31st floor.

So, four guys got to comfortably crash in a "3 BEDROOM 3 KING SUITE WITH SOFABED" with some brilliant views.

There is no doubt about it… this property is beautiful, the 1 bedroom suites are roomy and have fantastic views, and I am glad I gave the Elara a try.

The room had a great view, space for everyone and a full kitchen.

The views from our room were magnificent.

The good:
Loved this is off the strip, across from Planet Hollywood, and the Miracle Mall with great shopping and restaurants.

This quiet family holiday residence is located just off of the strip in close proximity to the Planet Hollywood hotel.

The resort is right off the strip next to Planet Hollywood and Aria.

Light fare and drinks at the lobby bar surpassed any of the dining experiences we had in the Planet Hollywood mall or the overpriced, underwhelming and supposedly famous  hotspots we visited.

This resort is in a great location next to Hilton and right behind Planet Hollywood.

Location of the resort is very good, a short walk to the strip or you can enter Planet Hollywood mall across the street.

It is 1 block off the strip and for context, across from Planet Hollywood so access to the strip is easily walkable.

First of all, it’s right behind Planet Hollywood and the Miracle Mile Shops.

we easily walked to planet hollywood and the cosmopolitan

The hotel has no casino so it's quiet and you can very easily access your room, and only a 5-10 min walk from the big Casinos of the Aria / cosmopolitan and Planet Hollywood.

but right across the street you can walk into Planet Hollywood and access everything.

The location is across the street from Planet Hollywood and lots of shops.

It's directly next to Planet Hollywood, across from Cosmopolitan and Aria,  Bellagio is an easy walk north.

You can access the hotel by crossing the street to the side door of the magnificent mile shops that are connected to planet Hollywood so you are steps from the strip.

It’s adjacent to Planet Hollywood hotel, and all the restaurants, shows, and gambling are across the street.

Perfect location for a concert we were going to see across the street at Planet Hollywood.

The resort is locared across from Planet Hollywood and is a short walk to MGM.

The hotel is very close to the Strip situated between the MGM and Planet Hollywood.

It is right across the street from planet Hollywood, where you have many dining options as well.

The location is perfect, about in the middle of the strip just one street off (quieter, much less foot traffic).

The location is amazing right across the street from the mall and easy to get to other locations to do activities.

We loved our stay at MGC - the property is well-maintained and located near the strip.

Anyway, we enjoyed the hotel and the location.

The location is good and close to the strip.

but again the treatment i recieved two times asking about the uber pickup location and the blown off attitude by staff really made me feel less then valued as a customer

Location is good also with walking distance to the strip and PH.

This place is conveniently located two blocks off the strip, and I can tell you this place is crowded, hopping, jumping, and swinging.

Hotel security is stellar, and the location just off strip was such that I felt comfortable walking outside by myself in the early hours.

It is a timeshare location, so the rooms are more like condo style with a full kitchen and in unit laundry.

This timeshare resort is well maintained and well located.

Location was perfect for us because it was really close to the strip,

Across the street is the Planet Hollywood Casino, Hotel and the Miracle Mile of shops.

One great thing is to walk out the door, cross the road and you're straight in the air conditioned splendour of the miracle mile shops and walk through to Planet Hollywood casino, and over the road to Bellagio.

It is just off the strip, kitty corner to the miracle mile mall which leads to Planet Hollywood Casino and Hilton.

The hotel is across the street from the entrance to the Miracle Mile shopping mall and Planet Hollywood casino, and just around the corner and across the street from the City Center hotels (Aria, Cosmopolitan, etc.).

but it's right beside the Miracle Mile shops, so if you're going north, where most of the good stuff on the strip resides, you can walk through the shops, cut through the Planet Hollywood casino, and get to the Paris/Bellagio area in 10 minutes or less.

Across the street to the Miracle Mile Mall with many shops & restaurants, which is also connected to Planet Hollywood Casino & easy access to the strip.

Across the street is a mall that has plenty of places to eat with inside and outside.It is attached to the Planet Hollywood Casino and Resort.

The hotel is right on the Strip across from Planet Hollywood Casino.

It's one block off the strip, just across the street from Planet Hollywood Casino and half a block away from Aria and the Cosmopolitan. Everything we wanted (Caesar's Palace, Bellagio, Paris, Venetian, NY, etc.)
