I think this place is MUCH better than a lot of these reviews say. We did have a tower 2 room, which are supposed to be a lot nicer but we got it for free just by asking the really nice front desk lady that checked us in. The casino does have the old vegas smokey smell but then again, most of the casinos smell like that. The pool wasn't bad but it wasn't great either. Liked the adult only area and enjoyed the hot tubs. We were there during the beginning of march madness so all the table limits were raised above normal which was annoying. For the price I would definitely stay here again and wouldn't hesitate to suggest this hotel to other budget conscious Vegas travelers.
