This hotel isn't perfect, but it's definitely got some things going for it that make it a solid choice.
Pros: It's CHEAP -- probably some of the best room rates on the strip -- and, it's in a great location, right in the middle of everything. Rooms are comfortable enough, and clean. Free parking. They've got a decent pool with an adjacent bar. The auto collection museum is housed here!

Cons: They only do the basics, no real luxuries; tiny tube-TV and a noisy air conditioner (though the noisy AC helped to mask the construction noise from just outside). Our room was a very long hike from the casino entrance, and the parking garage wasn't much closer. Expensive wi-fi (a pet peeve of mine). The room-rates skyrocket on Fridays and Saturdays, and parking can be tough to find late at night on those days, too.
