| - First time staying at Fremont Hotel and Casino. Arrived at the hotel late Sunday night almost midnight. Checking in for hotel registration was really quick. It helps with a Vacations Hawaii package and seeing one of the agents from Vacations Hawaii.
My co-worker and I headed towards the B Connected Players Club booth in which I received a Ruby card (yes I am a newbie to gambling) and she received the Sapphire card (occasional Vegas visitor). I swiped my card at the kiosk and found out that I earned a promotion deal for a free caramel covered apple from Rocky Mountain Chocolates.
We then headed to the fourth floor to drop off our bags and luggage. I noticed right away that there was no small refrigerator. "Really...how the hell we going keep our bottle waters cold" was my reaction to my travelling companion. Her reply, "we can use a bucket ice and use the sink as a cooler.". All I could do was shake my head.
After dropping off our bags we headed back down to the first floor. As we were walking around I noticed two ATMs, few kiosks to check points or promotions on the B Connected cards, and a few redemption machines to cash in vouchers or break down a $100 bill. I also noticed Dunkin Donuts, Lanai Express, Rocky Mountain Chocolates, Tony Roma's, Second Street Grill (I think), and Paradise Buffet and Cafe. There are a lot of slot machines....there's the penny slots, the nickel slots, the quarter slots, and the $1.00 slots. I can't forget about the card machines, the card tables, the roulette and craps table.
Throughout our stay at the Fremont my co-worker (Emily K.) and I have been donating our money to the slot machines. Lost plenty money and won a little. LOL....at least we enjoyed ourselves.
Back to the room....there was dust on the ceiling, Emily K. says that her bed was uncomfortable (my guess everybody likes the bed next to the bathroom), and even though there is housekeeping every day it seems the maid does not dust the furniture or clean the bathroom mirror. Also when we first tried to turn on the television...it did not go on. We had to call the customer service to have a maintenance worker come to the room to turn on the power for the television. Who knew....we thought if we use the remote the TV would go on.
Next Las Vegas visit the hotel stay would be California Hotel.
