Lipstick on a pig! What a huge disappointment. Only a few rooms actually renovated but they BS you and con you when taking reservations and on their website, then hassle you when you check in and find out your room is not one of the 'newly renovated' rooms - a rip off!. Renovations are minimal. Showerhead sucked; one sink; nice 40" TV, but without HD signals why bother? They invested minimal $ to renovate the old Alladin - would not recommend this dump to anyone! Spend a few more bucks and stay anywhere else. The Spice Market Buffet sucks - buried down in the basement/lower level; high walls make it way to claustrophobic and the food sucks as does the service. Best thing about the stay....Rudy the bellman took care of us big time with limo's, etc...he needs to move to a nicer property to make more money.
Casino was ok, Heart Bar was fun and packed, go-go dancers a nice touch but not a big deal; sports bar (Xtra lounge) is too small but make a good bloody mary on Sunday mornings; go visit but don't stay here.
