The rooms are GREAT (mine had a picture of the Great Jim Morrison) ... and the casino is still the "hippest" place for the younger crowd (sorry Palms).
They play middle-of-the road over-commercialized "rock" music over the PA, which sadly, still ranks better than the rest of the casinos.
Is it a cool place? NO! Is it the best casino to hang out in Las Vegas? ... I think so.
