SLS isn't on the strip, but it's amazing. And ubers aren't very much to get around. All the ceilings in the rooms have mirrors on them.

Caesars has some sort of deal with SPG I think and you can use Marriott points at the Cosmo

The SLS is right near everything.

It doesn't look like its on the strip though. Any experiences?

It's around the corner from the strip.

It's close to Drai's, which has one of the best pool parties.

I uber/taxi between opposite ends of the strip anyway. Everywhere has free valet if you're driving.

Oh sorry, it's the actual Westin that is near Drai's and the Cromwell.
SLS is a 10 minute cab ride.

Just looked it up, you can redeem points for stays and you get 2 star points per dollar in addition to getting credit for the Caesars rewards program if you spend $$ there...its Caesars Palace, the Paris hotel, the Cromwell, the Linq, Flamingo, Planet Hollywood, Rio, Harrah's...

Wow, the Spg deal with Caesars is pretty terrible (nice idea though). Linq and Harrahs start at 44k/night. That's pretty nuts.

Dang haha, are you sure? I think it gives you the points redemption for the entire stay instead of doing it per night like SPG. I've looked into it before and those were all less than 10k/night

Caesars Palace was around 18k/night at the time

^agree, just don't wander off the property to far, esp at night

This is where Marriott rocks with the Cosmopolitan

Hi! I’m doing some research on employee benefits (medical insurance, 401k, HSA/FSA, commuter benefits) and was hoping to connect with People specialists or HR professionals in the comp & benefits space. I’m trying to better understand any pain points or challenges you might face with utilization/enrollment. Anyone interested in connecting? Thank you!

Is this legal? My spouses company just decided to change their comp structure for account managers. It was base + comm, now it’s commission only but nothing changed, OT commission is the same, didn’t get more points, just took away the base pay and said work harder basically. So now they have to worker harder to get $50k they were already making. (Not a decision based on employee performance, they’ve been crushing it. I think the company is just trying to save money they overspent else where)

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
