Residence Inn by Marriott Las Vegas Stadium Area Review
Comprehensive Review
Nestled just minutes from the Las Vegas Strip and directly adjacent to the Allegiant Stadium, the Residence Inn by Marriott Las Vegas Stadium Area offers a refreshing alternative to the typical Vegas hotel experience. Designed primarily for extended stays but equally welcoming for short visits, this property combines practicality with comfort in a surprisingly convenient location.
Location & Accessibility
Situated at 5875 Dean Martin Drive, this hotel boasts one of the most strategic positions in Las Vegas for sports fans and convenience-seekers. Being walking distance to Allegiant Stadium (home of the Las Vegas Raiders) and T-Mobile Arena makes it ideal for event attendees. The Strip is approximately a 10-minute drive, while Harry Reid International Airport is just 5 minutes away. Free parking and easy freeway access add to the location's appeal.
Accommodations & Amenities
The hotel features 192 spacious suites, all with full kitchens (refrigerator, microwave, stove, dishwasher), separate living areas, and comfortable workspace. The studios and one-bedroom suites are particularly well-appointed with modern furnishings, blackout curtains, and premium bedding. The kitchenettes are fully equipped with cookware and utensils, making extended stays practical.
Notable amenities include:
- Outdoor pool and hot tub (open seasonally)
- 24-hour fitness center with modern equipment
- Complimentary grocery delivery service
- Free hot breakfast buffet daily
- Evening social hours (Monday-Wednesday)
- Business center and meeting spaces
- Pet-friendly accommodations (fee applies)
Service Quality
Staff members consistently receive praise for their attentive service. The front desk operates 24/7 with knowledgeable agents who can assist with everything from dinner reservations to transportation. Housekeeping maintains high standards, with daily service available. The breakfast staff deserves special mention for keeping the dining area well-stocked and clean during busy morning hours.
Dining & Value
The complimentary hot breakfast is a significant value-add, featuring scrambled eggs, sausage, waffle stations, fresh fruit, and pastries. For other meals, the full kitchens allow guests to prepare their own food, though numerous dining options are within delivery range. The hotel's evening socials (with light snacks and drinks) provide additional value. Room rates typically range from $150-$300/night, representing excellent value compared to Strip properties.
What Makes It Special
This property stands out for its perfect blend of residential comfort and hotel convenience. The stadium proximity is unparalleled – you can literally walk to events without dealing with Strip traffic. The kitchen facilities are genuinely functional (not just decorative), and the breakfast quality exceeds typical hotel offerings.
Recommendations
Business Travelers: Excellent with reliable WiFi, workspaces, and proximity to the convention center.
Families: Spacious suites and kitchen facilities make it ideal for longer stays with children.
Event Attendees: Perfect for concerts, games, and conventions at nearby venues.
Extended Stays: Among the best options in Vegas for week+ visits.
Areas for Improvement
The property shows some wear in common areas, and the pool area could use updating. Some guests report inconsistent water temperatures in showers. The location, while excellent for events, requires transportation to reach most Strip attractions.
