This review is for the casino, i've never stayed in the hotel.
I live around the block from this place at city center. I generally don't like or frequent the whole southern strip area. Had a night off and not much to do so on a lark i wanted to stop in to see for myself just how bad this place is (based on the reviews).
I sat and played blackjack for a few hours and the dealers were cute and friendly. Easy to find a low limit double deck table on a Friday! Also the players at the table were friendly as well. I straight up asked the dealer why they were so friendly and one was like "I like working here....and also we're one of the few places where dealers still keep their own tips" =) Cocktail service was great as well.
Was a fun way to kill a few hrs. I'm a fan and i'll be back.
Not sure about previous comparisons of this place to Fremont Street are...in my book that's a positive! =)
