We just used this hotel for one of our regional company meetings. The entire experience was wonderful; from the first phone call the check out, we loved it. We use Holiday Inn's across the country for these but this has been the best hands down. The staff went out of their way to help us. We had an account manager change in the middle of the process but the new rep contacted us immediately with all her contact info. When we went to view the meeting room the night before it was set up wrong but within 1 hour it was corrected with out complaint or having to hassle anyone. We were very pleased with this hotel and I would stay there for personal as well. The rooms were clean and comfortable. (I'm a germaphobe so for me to say that means A LOT!) I was entirely comfortable in this hotel. THANK YOU TO THE STAFF!!

Holiday Inn, Rainbow & I-215, Las Vegas.
Booked a two night stay in an Executive Room, and was very pleased. Hotel is only a few months "new," and is positively spotless.
Beautiful and dramatic design, colors, and textures abound- both in guest room and common areas. Room is somewhat similar in appearance to "The Hotel," at Mandalay Bay, albeit on a lesser scale.
Although hotel offers limited shuttle service- you would be well advised to book this room in tandem with a rental car.
From McCarren Airport- take I-215 WEST to Rainbow Blvd. Hotel is just North of exit. While driving to the Strip,
I found Russell Road- just 2 blocks north of hotel to be a quicker conduit. A 4 mile drive-door to door-brought me to Mandalay Bay, which is the Southern-most Casino on the Strip-proper.
I actually passed by the other Holiday inn Express-on Polaris Avenue , which appears to be appx. 3 blocks to Strip.
This is a non-gaming hotel, but there is a small Restaurant /Bar with limited gaming just a few feet from the lobby entrance.
Across the street is a sandwich shop, and a 24 hour convenience store. This is an area of new development- with only a handful of alternate dining options in the immediate vicinity of hotel.
Computer kiosk off lobby- nice small pool and jacuzzi- suitable for a dip and not much more. Typical HI Express breakfast fare- muffins, cinnamon rolls, h/b eggs, yogurt, cereal, toast, fruit, etc.
All in all- a very positive experience.

I choose this hotel because the week i planned my vacations, there were some sort of convention and all the rooms in the strip were above $ 400.00 per room.The rooms at the HI express southbelt are clean and spaciosus. there are a shuttle betwen hotel and Mandalay Bay at 10.00 am, without return, so it`s necesary to rent a car. The duration of the trip betwen the hotel a to the bellagio took me 15 to 20 mins. in my rented car. There is a complementary breakfast with hardboiled eggs , yogourts, cinnamon rolls, etc. Just outside there is a good restaurant Black Jack, that opens 24 hrs. and serves breakfast, lunch and dinner (Good Option). Overall it was a good option due to the rates on the strip.
