My first experience, with the hotel shuttle and the charming man at the front desk, was wonderful. Then I got to my room to find that it hadn't been finished by housekeeping. It was sweltering in there, so I turned on the air conditioner. The pillows were piled on the couch and had no pillow cases. No big deal, right? So I just call down and ask for pillow cases. Granted, it's 11:30 at night and I have to get up at 7:00am for a class. I still need to shower before bed. But I wait for the pillow cases. Half an hour later, still no pillow cases, so I call down again. They assure me they're on their way. Twenty more minutes pass before a pillow case shows up. So I finally can go take my shower. I find a large wad of tangled hair on my towel. Not my hair. EeK. Finally manage to crawl into bed at almost 1am to find that the noisy air conditioner hasn't cooled down the room and the sheets were rough and scratchy. Didn't sleep much. So, in the end, don't stay here if you need a good night's sleep. If you wanna party in Vegas, you'll probably be okay. Cheers!

Well my title says everything. I highly recommend this place. I stayed there Friday, Sat. and Sunday and paid $165 including taxes. No resort fees. While booking from the web I requested a room on the top floor. This is what I got! The front desk actually was very polite and professional. The king bed room was huge with a view of the strip. Everything was clean. The room had a (clean) couch, fridge, coffee-maker, kitchenette, free wifi with fast internet. The TV was not flat and the channels were very limited (about 15) but this was not a issue for me. The room was really quite: no noise from airplanes, no noise from neighbors. The hotel has a free shuttle to the LAS airport. Interestingly, you can reserve the shuttle whenever you want. Just ask for the shuttle 15 min before your departure time and it will be there. The location is not superior but not bad either. It is a 15 min walk to the strip (flamingo area). You may encounter some homeless people asking you for money but this happens almost everywhere in Vegas. There is a strip club close to the hotel but it is small and doesn't really bother anybody. Breakfast was free and awesome. It icluded from the "classic" stuff like donuts, muffins to more fancy stuff like waffles, sausage, omelets, fruits. Breakfast was really good but only available from 6:30 am to 10 am! Closest casino is the Terrible's within 5 min walking. This is a nice casino with not so high minimums. Ellis Island casino is not far away either and they have some good selection of beers.
In summary, for the money I paid this place rocks. It is a very clean hotel, semi-professional, with many free amenities (shuttle, wifi, breakfast). If walking is not a big issue for you then check this place out I think its worth to it.

The Ramada could be a great place to stay and probably was at one time. Right now it is worn around the edges, But it is clean and was fine to stay for the one night I was there, and for the price I was happy.

The bed was comfortable, a bit soft but that's what I prefer. The carpet was stained and the furniture was worn, the tiles in the bathroom cracked. Mini fridge, bar sink and mini coffee maker were welcome. TV was old but who needs a TV when you are on vacation? Hot water was plentiful as were towels. Free toiletries were overly sweet smelling and suitable only for a 14 year old girl.

But they had a free shuttle from the airport and a free breakfast (standard pastry types, english muffins, scrambled eggs, sausage, waffles, cereal). The pool looked nice but I did not get in.

It was a bit of a hike to the Strip. There were other casinos closer, as well as other places to eat.

The staff was nice and an early check-in was no problem .

I recommend it as long as you consider a hotel a place to use as a base of operations while you amuse yourselves somewhere else. You get what you pay for and here you will get basic accomodations.

My stay fulfilled all obectives: excelent room, great prices, no casino, walking distance to the Sands Exhibition Hall, although the hotel van took me there each of 3 mornings I was there. Close to restaurants on Flamingo and especially on Paradise (check out Gordon Biersch Brewery, just 5 minute walking!!)

I stayed in the back building, building 2, on the 3 floor, overlooking the parking lot of the Tuscanny, and their landscaping with grass and palm trees. Early morning, I heard birds chirping next door, on the palm trees, and just bocks away from the strip.

The furniture was up dated. Perhaps the rug needed replacement. The breakfast buffet is not the best. Such is life. I highly recommend this hotel. I shall stay again here the next trade show.
