We stayed here our first trip to Vegas way back when.
I think using hotwire we got a great deal so that was a great start.
The hotel itself is on the smaller side compared to many other larger hotels on the strip. However to me, it's just a place to sleep (if you feel so inclined) and as a base of operations.
Many things are close by and walkable, most of the Strip is actually walkable, albeit you just don't realize how vast some of these casinos are, because it takes so damn long to walk past them all, even one takes 10 mins.
The rooms are functional and ok.
The best thing is the convenience with a tram to Mirage to save your feet partially and ease of getting across the fancier Wynn and Encore.
For the price, I'd stay here again.
