| - It was clean enough and the rooms were decent. I kind of liked the view of New York New York and MGM from our window. My parents made the mistake of staying at Circus Circus last time and they were much happier this time around. The room was clean and it was mostly quiet, except that I didn't really like how thin the walls were. We didn't hear much, but it was very loud whenever a "neighbor" was coming/going and the first night there was a person with a nasty cough near-by (that wasn't fun to listen to now and again). The bedding was.... fine. Nothing fancy, but it was clean and that's all I cared about. The pillows weren't super comfortable so my parents were a little grumpy about that (while it wasn't as big a deal to me).
The rates were great and it was a good place to stay with the family. They didn't have any of the really cool shows or bars, so it seemed like a lot of the patrons (and especially those that stuck around during the day/night) were of the 40+ variety that were looking to gamble (as they drank and/or smoked - lots of smoking in the casino). The nice thing was that you could go right or left on the Strip and really quickly get to some fun stuff.
Shopping: The "street of dreams" stores and the pub seemed to be closed every time I headed into that direction. That was weird.
Show tickets: You can get show tickets at the concierge desk, but they recommended that I go to the actual hotel because they said the computer picks out the "best seat" in the front or back area (whichever you choose), but you won't know your actual seat until you get there if they're the ones that do it.
Internet use: People with laptops can get it for $15/day in their room, or there are these old school machines in the lobby that are 25 cents a minute (with a $5 min). I didn't need to get online for that long, but I needed to check grades so I figured I might as well use up all the time I got for that $5.
The only real issue we had was related to housekeeping. When we left for the day, we put all our dirty towels that we wanted them to take on the floor. When my mom came back and went to dry her hands, she realized that they gave us two new towels and also hung up two wet ones..... one was dirty and wet, the other one was just a little wet. What the heck??? Right away we went down to the Check-In area and let them know about it. The woman there (Angela?) was very apologetic and ended up offering us a free trip to their buffet (first she looked to give us some money, but we had already pre-paid everything and didn't have a card on the room, so that was a no-go). We didn't particularly want to go back to the breakfast buffet, but we figured it'd be a good idea to do that before we take off (and have it be free instead of about $41).
Then we headed upstairs to take down the dirty towels and encountered housekeeping.... who (after asking if we were the people that complained) tried to tell us that the towels they hung up were all clean. Wtf? I didn't feel the towels, but I trust my mom's judgment on that a lot more than a stranger. Sorry, lady..... but that was weird. At that point I kind of wished I could just get some clean towels from them and have them leave.
Over-all..... I'd consider staying here again if I ever return to Vegas.
