Visiting family in North L.V., just wanted a place close to stay and that was all we really got. We usually stay on the Strip so I expected simple but it was old, and smelly. Not at all for families with kids.
What I liked:
the a/c worked good
it was cheap $71.00 @ night
what I didn't like:
*non-smoking floor and room; a pack of cigs found under the bed, then when unpacking at home ALL our clothes smelled of cigs.
*the pillows had the faint smell of sweaty baseball cap
*too small pool
*tv only got 5 channels (we have a child)
I will pay the extra $$ and stay somewhere else next visit.

This was our second stay here at Arizona Charlies. We rented a suite for 2 nights (our wedding night & one extra). Check in was a little later then we were told (only by 1/2 hour) and the only reason that was a downside was we had a weding in 4 hours.

The rooms are always clean and housekeeping does a great job cleaning them. Yes the hotel is off the strip, but it is only a 10-20 minute drive. Well, 10-20 minutes if you drive Decatur to one of the main streets (Tropicana, Flamingo, Sahara) and then follow those to the strip.

I played the casino more this time, and it ended up paying for everything that I did while up in Vegas, I spent about $200 on activities and won it all back. Until my last day when the new wife was sleeping, and I was bored.

The dealers were good, and very helpful. I learned how to play Pai Gow Poker here and they showed me how to set my hands for the best odds when I didn't know what to do. The only thing that I didn't like was I had to hunt down a slot technician when my ticket got stuck in the machine. However when I found one, they quickly came over, removed it, and I was on my way.

It is a locals casino, so some of the people do seem a little seedy, but I have never felt unsafe. I mean, to even get to your room in the tower, you must show a room key and they test it as well. The elevator is programmed that only those who have keys to suites may access that floor.

The food is good, and always cheap. I mean a 3/4 lb burger & fries for $2.99 is a great deal.

Overall, we will continue to stay here as it has never done us wrong in any major way.

My stay at ACD was good. Too far away from the strip if you don't drive. Since the casino is in the hotel you dont know who belongs there or not and some people looked scary to me and I wouldnt get on the elevator with them. The room was clean. Good for the price.

Stayed at ACD from April 22 - 27, 2007 to celebrate my birthday. This was my first time staying there. The room was clean and the bathroom was roomy. Everything worked. The staff was courteous. I only spent $214 including tax for the room which I thought was a deal. I had so much fun. Now here's the part that was not tasty to me . . . The casino smoke was horrific, I'm from Los Angeles and have not been exposed to second hand smoke for some time now. Although the smoke did not stop me from playing on the slots. But the hotel is 19 years old and they try to have a few non-smoking areas. Regardless, it is what it is. Oh also security was great. We stayed on the first level and you need a key card to enter the hallway to get to your room. If you stay in the towers, you have to show i.d. to go to your rooms. I felt pretty safe. I will go back again next year. It is not that close to the strip. I drove to Vegas and could not imagine having to take a taxi or bus to get to strip and other shopping outlets.
