Normally a wonderful hotel
I travel to Vegas often for business. I have stayed at the Silverton many times since it has opened. Generally it is a great hotel. The rooms are large and nice, the hotel is well maintained, and the rates are always good. It is close enough to the strip to be convenient and far enough away to not spend your day stuck in traffic.
Normally service is also exceptional. This last visit I have to say I left pretty disappointed with it. I stayed there for a week. The service was poor, slow, and grouchy throughout the hotel the entire time I was there.
In one incident in particular the service in the Mermaid lounge was so slow that for over a half hour there were absolutely no staff at all in the bar. When they did show up the waitress had a terrible attitude and would not even let anyone finish a sentence before she walked away. The orders were all messed up very badly. For example instead of the drink I ordered to go with my food, I got fish and chips (and so had two entrees and nothing to drink) and it took a long time to get the waitress back and the problem resolved.
It was not just my opinion that the service was bad either. At one point most everyone there was complaining and one couple who asked that the hotel manager be called waited for over an hour and the manager still never showed up.
It is a shame that such a wonderful hotel had such awful service and I hope it was just a isolated incident. I am sure that I will stay there again at some point but if the service is that bad again, I will take my business elsewhere.
