It's not our fault that they can't sell rooms in this awful place!!! Perhaps the biggest upside to Aliante was its cleanliness-probably because nobody else was even staying there. Perhaps most egregious, we were even charged an unannounced additional fee to-as they explained to us-make up for lost revenue as a result of the fact that the hotel wasn't filled. Because we had infants with us, we had no other option than to rent one without the smallest effort to accommodate us. they ran out of money building the stupid place).

Additionally, we were told that we could rent a miniature refrigerator that the hotel had recently removed from each room, because they presented 'an inconvenience to their guests' (ie. We had to pay for the pool that we never used, for a movie we never watched, for higher speed Internet that we never accessed. Despite the hotel's amenities guide, which boasts everything from a fully stocked mini bar (which was not present) to free wireless internet (which is only available at low speeds), the hotel still charged us (and others) to use those services.

Unfortunately, it's very obvious that its owners ran out of money and are desperate to recover costs by charging guests for EVERYTHING-even if they never agreed to pay for them. Admittedly its upscale decor gives it tremendous potential to be a lively oasis of fun in the desert surrounding Las Vegas.
