How it rates * * *

New and noteworthy: Donald Trump's $1-billion, 1,282-unit condo-hotel now open with a spa and namesake restaurant.

The stay: The 64-story golden ode to glamour looks like New York, feels like old-money country club.

The scene: Conventioneers roast by the pool, couples splurge at DJT, owners go incognito.

Deal maker: No casino means no smoking, no lobby chaos, no grandmas blowing inheritances.

Deal breaker: Remote-feeling location, train and airplane noise, absent housekeeping.

Stats: 2000 Fashion Show Drive, Las Vegas, (702) 982-0000 or (866) 939-8786, www.trumplasvegashotel.com.

Rooms: $349 to $5,000, not including summer discounts.

Green touches: Not evident. Plastic water bottles abound, and down bedspreads mean keeping the air conditioning cranked.

Rating based on room, service, ambience and overall experience with price taken into account in relation to quality.
