So this is a cheap hotel and casino which hasn't been renovated since the 1970's.
It used to be quite the place. Now it is faded, jaded and sorely past it's use by date.
Having said that, it has some charm. What can you say about a place that has it's
own tattoo parlour?

I Liked that:
- The staff were friendly and happy.
- the hotel provides free car parking and free wireless Internet which worked fine.
- My room was clean and quite large.
- the TV channels were quite good.
- the beds were quite good I thought.

I can also say:
- the decor is cheap and tacky.
- they charge you a mandatory resort fee ($11). If the pool is closed you still don't get to use it.
- a convenience store is located in the building.
- the casino looked pretty lame.

The place has a food court which was ok (I guess), but I recommend going next door to the peppermill which is fantastic (although it costs more).

This is not a good hotel for kids.

My wife a i were in vegas for a get togather a another casino , and stoped by to meet our new slot host. we are booked to come there again in april. we were shocked to see the place looked empty we didnt see any workers that we knew from the 13 years we have been coming there. we talked to the casino hosts that were there and was hoping to here back from someone but heard nothing.we are rethinking about staying here when we come on april 14th .

We had a convention at the Riviera so we decided to stay there. We had a newer room in the Monaco Tower which was pretty nice. Small fridge, flat screen tv, wireless internet. The hotel and convention center need help. They want to promote their rat pack history but arent willing to invest in it - even to play music from that generation would help. Convention center had constant sound problems....embarrassing for a disc jockey convention! The small restaurants in food court are great - and have reasonable prices. We didn't eat at any of the other restaurants in the hotel because of other reviews.

There was hair in the sink when we got there. We had a renovated room and it was still disgusting. Flat screen TV and the comfy bed were the only two positive things. Worst smelling casino out of all of them. Location isn't great but it is on strip (Far North End). Casino itself was outdated,smelly, and quite ugly compared to all the other casinos on the strip. Wifi did not work in the room once. Had to call some random IT number and they said they would notify us when it was fixed. That never happened and suffice to say we had no Internet access.
