The Lobby was only steps away with no waiting for Check-In (no need to walk thru the casino…a good thing). ALIANTE HOTEL: Arrived at the Valet, friendly and prompt service. However, if you are a golfer, there is beautiful golf course next door. The location was planned for middle/upper middle class locals, not your average tourists. A rental car is mandatory based on the hotel location in North Las Vegas, NV. We pick-up a nice rental car from Alamo (love them too), 2012 Hyundai Sonata. Flight attendants provided free drinks for military members…another reason to love SWA. TRAVEL: Uneventful flight from Tucson, AZ to Las Vegas, NV via Southwest Airlines (SWA) arrived within 50 Minutes (a beautiful thing).
