We had booked this hotel for a soccer tourney and I had read the prior reveiws but had remained open minded. But the second you arrive at this place the overwhelming smoke hits you as they have poor venilation. The front staff was only luke warm and first room they gave us had view of dirty service roof, we asked to be moved which they did only to have the next room be stained, out dated, and the blanket on the bed had been ripped and hand repaired. Just overall bad and old. We left within 2 hours and found another hotel. This place is in a bad area and the kind of people who were in a nd around were not family friendly.

I booked a room at this hotel-casino online for four nights and paid $76 up front, sight-unseen, to Vegas View reservation service. I suppose I shouldn't have been so naive as to believe that there are any true bargains left in the world, but the $16/night room rate advertised by Vegas View was too good to turn down. I wish I would have read the reviews at this site before I plunked my money down. I

arrived later than I had hoped because the place is hard to access by bus from the airport. When I got there, the girl at the front desk laid the $15/night surcharge on me--something I had clearly been influenced to believe was optional--not mandatory. Nothing like this has happened to me since I was in Mexico City ten years ago, and the Mariachi club wouldn't let me OUT without paying a totally unadvertised surcharge. Here, at this joint, they won't let you IN--once they have your up-front--without socking you the surcharge. I managed to salvage the rest of my four-night stay in Vegas by falling back on a place that has a deal more credibility. My guess is that this outfit is in desperate straits and has resorted to clipping their customers as their last option.

Not for this lad. I'd rather kiss my $76 up-front down the hole than knuckle under to this kind of rigged nonsense. Nevada Better Business Bureau--you'll hear from me about this clip joint.

I stayed at this hotel with my wife and mother. We selected this hotel because of its close proximity to my in laws homes. It wasn't a typical fun trip to Vegas because of the passing of my father-in-law. So we stayed off strip for that reason as well. The hotel has quite a few amenities. A kids fun zone, eateries such as Panda Express, Fatburger, Coco's, and a Starbucks. There is also a movie theatre. The casino never seemed full except for the few locals that would frequent there. My only gripe, even though it may be minor, is that our room never saw a cleaning lady. We are not overly messy, we don't even get under the covers, however we did not receive clean towels. I had to call housekeeping to get some more. Like I said, nothing to major. I would not mind staying at this hotel again, but ultimately whenever my wife and I go to Las Vegas, we stay on the strip. The price was reasonable and I would only recommend this hotel to a friend who wanted to be off the strip and have decent amenities at a reasonable price.

We stayed at an excellent group rate for a soccer tournament. Several people in our group changed their reservations to arrive a day later; somehow the communication went awry and when they didn't show up for the original scheduled date, the hotel gave away their rooms AND charged them for one night's stay. Since we were working through a third party travel agent I don't know whose fault that was.

Our stay was no problem, the room was a well-disguised basic room, clean & comfortable. I'll give the room a few extra points for crown moulding and nice wallpaper in the bathroom. The shower was almost a light sprinkle, and when flushing the toilet it sounded like an explosion so there could be no discreet middle-of-the-night potty visit. Earlier in the day when we didn't want to take the elevator we asked a couple employees plus got on the house phone but nobody seemed to know where the stairs were. (Wouldn't that be important in a fire?) It turned out the stairs were right next to our room at the end of the hall. The walls were fairly thin and we could hear people walking up & down the metal stairs and also voices in the room next door/above/below. Fortunately we didn't have noisy neighbors or we might have had a hard time sleeping. We also had to go through a couple employees to find out where the "cardio room" (exercise facility) was. It was nowhere near the pool, and consisted of a small room with 2 treadmills, an elliptical and one exercise bike. They did charge a resort fee that included the "free" high speed wireless internet, which was discounted for the group rate. However, on the first night, only my computer could successfully access the internet wirelessly while my daughter's could not, and the next two days neither of us could but it worked if we plugged it in, and the cord was included in the room.

We had four people in our room and they didn't give us enough towels, but the maids were readily available, very friendly & accommodating. If you go online, you can get a free "boarding pass" that will get you discounted meals at the buffet, which was decent. There was more food than you would ever need at both the dinner and breakfast buffets; it was typical good buffet food. The Italian restaurant, San Lorenzo, however, was excellent in both food and service. There was plenty of parking, safe, covered and pretty close to the front door, although there was no way to pull up the the door to unload luggage. The hotel location is several miles north of the strip, which was fine for us because we all had cars and the soccer tournament was our main activity.

I liked the fact that the restaurants, movie theatre, bowling alley, Starbucks, etc, were a short walk from the elevator. In other hotels it's almost a day hike to get to the other side of the hotel. If you want the total Las Vegas experience you'd be better off paying more and staying on the strip, but overall this was an excellent value to eat & sleep but still a close drive to all the attractions.
