We have stayed in the Klondike rooms before which we clean and adequate. During the week, we got the Arizona Charlie Suite this time with our kids, which has a Master bedroom, entry room, living room (about $135); the bathroom was huge with a huge tile shower (you could sit on the bench & not get wet) and a hug spa tub. The tub jets were missing the controller, but it did not bother us. The 2nd bedroom/bathroom joined the suite (which was about $85/night). Both rooms had a coffee maker and refrigerator. The suite had 3 TVs. The security is nice with room cards to activate the elevator and the security officers on bikes in the parking lots. It is a smokey casino, but most are like that in Vegas. It is not a far walk from the parking to the hotel, which is a great plus. They cleaned our room to make it not smell so smokey, since we requested non-smoking; it was pretty good. The King Bed in our room was very comfortable. It was great to have a separate room for our kids. I just wish it had a better pool that was open more often. It was closed when we went, but they said we could go to their companion hotel, the Stratosphere, to swim. We went to the Stratosphere to swim; the pool was cold, but it felt good since it was a hot day. The staff is nice. I took a look at the mini suites and they looked very nice.

Stay away from this awful place. We were kept awake all night long by smoke alarms which were deafening. These alarms went off every hour or so from 2am to 7am. When we tried to call down to the desk to find out what was going on, we were treated very rudely. We had no idea if there was a fire or what was happening and the elevators were not working. If there was a fire, we were near the top floor and did not feel we could evacuate safely. We had ZERO information given to us apart from the message that there was a possible fire and to stay alert. We found out the next morning that it was a false alarm in the casino caused by a smoking cigarette. We literally did not sleep that night, yet when we tried to get a reimbursement the next morning, we were again treated very rudely. The staff could have cared less that we literally spent a sleepless night over a badly handled security concern.

The room was old, smelled of cigarettes (even though it was a non smoking room) and was in an unsafe area. Do not stay here - this was the worst hotel I've ever stayed in.

We stayed at Arizona Charlies Decatur on a Saturday night and paid $126.99 for one of the God awful beds I ever laid down on. The room was huge is the only good thing I can say about the room. The beds were so low to the floor and HARD and I used both pillows on top of each other and that still would not make one decent cheap pillow from Walmart. There were cigarette burns all over the carpet and even on the commode seat and bathtub and this was a non smoking room. This is strictly a locals joint and dark and smokey. Run...don't walk away from this hotel. The casino is small and we found machines to be very tight. The only decent part of the place is the bingo hall which is 24 hours and even losing there was much better than staying in that God awful room. I complained to the front desk about that bed the next day and they could have cared less. We only had to stay for 1 night until our reservation began at another hotel. Everything else was booked because of convention in town I would not recommend this hotel to my worst enemy. I have had better nights rest in a tent.

I'm so tired of hearing people put this hotel down. stayed at Charlie's more than 20 times in the past 10 years, and in addition to it being a great bargain, it's clean, the machine's winning percentage is great, and the employees are friendly. This is a "locals" casino, unlike the strip hotel/casinos. That means it has to be better than the others to stay in business.

There is free transportation to the Strip and Downtown casinos all day, every day, so you're not stuck in the suburbs.

I read comments about the local casinos being "dangerous", with strange people hanging around. You think the strip and downtown hotels are safer? You'd be wrong. Charlie's has some of the best trained security officers out there. I know. I worked with them.

Yes, it's smoky. ALL the casinos are smoky. The table minimums are cheaper so EVERYONE can play, the food is good and reasonably priced so EVERYONE can eat.

I was a local in Vegas for 12 years. Charlie's on Decatur was my favorite, and I tried ALL of the casinos, to include Strip, Downtown, and other local casinos.

If you want a good casino at a reasonable price, with clean rooms, friendly staff, and great odds, Arizona Charlies on Decatur is the best bet.
