| - Review just for the hotel, didn't gamble.
I've heard horror stories about the rooms here from a couple of different people. But ... $29 a night on Hotels.com on a slow week, plus no resort fee, plus a $15 dining credit thrown in, plus nights count toward the freebie night ... my cheapo blood couldn't resist giving it a try.
If you get a cheapo deal you will land in the North Tower most likely, which is the one immediately on Fremont, which is why the rooms are so cheap. One side is right near the booming Fremont speakers and light show that blare on the hour every hour from about 8 PM to 2 AM every night, but even the opposite side of the hall gets a good amount of the noise too. They left earplugs in the room for a reason! Noon checkout so you can get a little more sleep.
If you can deal with the noise (or just stay up till 2 AM then sleep in), though, otherwise I actually found the room to be surprisingly clean and well taken care of, it looks like they are really making an effort to keep the place up as best they can. Even had a coffee maker with plenty of coffee, wasn't expecting that at all. TV selection is expectedly crummy, just broadcast channels with CNN and the two ESPNs, but you expect that going in with any Vegas casino-hotel. Of course, no resort fee means no free WiFi either, so this only works well if you bring your own or really don't need it.
