| - HOTEL:
--Upon leaving the cab you immediately get the wiff of the scented air that many have talked about in reviews. It's right from the drive court in through the lobby and the casino. Plus some places do have the undertones of sewage. Nothing nauseating, just noticable. Also worth mentioning, as I'm a safety freak, there is a guard posted at the elevator entrance asking for room keys to gain entry to the elevators.
--Plaza, check in a breeze at 11:30 pm. Got room 1925 and a page of coupons. The coupons were 20% off at Hash House, $5 for signing up for players club, and some 2 for 1 meal at the Vegas Club.
--The room is as called out by many. It's reno'd, but with a few caveats. The furnishings all new. The linens nice. The lighting was messed up.....the lighting fixtures were great, but the light switch on wall does nothing. You have to feel your way around the room for any light fixture. In our case it was one in between the beds and upon feeling it up there was no switch or cord, but rather you had to screw the bulb in. Voila, there was light. So, we moved the big silver lamp with no on/off switch to the desk and moved the desk one, with a push switch to the bedside table. Let's move on. Ok, so again, the walls weren't redone and just looked old with a paint job. The sink/counter was brand new and very nice looking. The tub, not new, but functional. We didn't experience any of the backing up of water that some spoke of. The bath ammenities are basic basic basic, shampoo, bodywash, moisterizer, bar soap. Towels were sufficient and there were 4 of everything. More towels are avail on the pool level. Other then that, great flat panel tv with good selection of channels.
--first night, 2:30 am phone call...."hello".."yes, I heard you were looking for girls?"...."ummm NO"..."room 1925?", "yep, but still not looking"...."ok, take care". What the...??? Then I was waiting for the banging on the door that I've read about at other downtown hotels on reviews. But nope, nothing that night or any night.
--water pressure find in this room
--hot water was HOT...figuring there is no coffee pot, so I had a semi-boiled tea in the a.m.
--never had to wait long for elevators
--subway just beside lobby, as well as a very well stocked hotel store
--pool level is kinda funny as the entrance is very prison feeling, with the big mesh/metal gate
--pool area is very plain. Big pool. Water felt around 80-82, very comfortable temp
--seating in the pool area did seem limited and I can imagine they'd run out of chairs during a 'busy' time, but who knows, maybe they packed some away as the season is over.
--in the end I would stay here again, BUT, max $50 a night (weeknights)
CASINO:
--I'm just into the machines, the video slots and can't speak about the tables.
--I'm a low/no roller and play the pennies, and I have to say with my little play the points added up quick. Which was surprising as the sign up bonus was based on the first 24 hrs of play... get 250 points, get $10 slot play, get 250 more, get $20 slot play, get 500 more, get ???, I want to say $50, but I missed the window, so I got nothing. I found it generous, and should have concentrated my play to just this hotel and the linked player's club at the vegas club.
--I didn't find the machines tight, as I had many ups, with less downs. The bonuses, although not necessarily arriving often, for the most part paid well above 'my play'. I had several $40+ bonus rounds. These were had on Godzilla, Alice, Lord of the rings (which has many different fun surprises), Coyote Moon and Break the vault.
--drink service at the Plaza was good to great (as was Gold nugget, Vegas Club, Freemont st, and Main St. Station). Came around often and returned really quick
