| - Maybe I'm just a little harsh because I'm a Vegas local and I'm use to everything being over-the-top, but seriously now that Aliante Station has been open over a year, I'm really let down.
When Aliante first opened in October 2008, we were all really excited to have such a one-stop entertainment destionation on this side of town, which is far underdeveloped commercially. Way to many houses, not enough retail, food, etc. We were initially impressed the first few months. Evrything was open, there was always an excess of lanes and registers everywhere, plenty of employees, the Regal Theaters always had a great selection of showtimes, and the rooms were spectacular for an off-Strip hotel. The last time we stayed at the hotel in December 2009, the rooms had gone downhill from our previous stay in February 2009. Lights were out, buttons and knobs were broken, the mini fridge had pieces falling off and was not stocked, and the HD TV sevice was no more. On top of all that, there was only one person at check-in and check out each time, and the were usually preoccupied.
As for the casino side which we visit more often (or use to), since the opening, Dunkin Dounts has closed, the hours at most the food places have been shortened, the Regal theaters have horrible showtimes now, it is almost always more convient to just make the extra drive to another theater. There are never enough tables open, never more than one cashier window open, and the WORST part is that the often only have THREE floors open in the parking garage out of SIX. HALF of the entire parking garage is closed. Why even build it?!?! I suppose I'm just spoiled living in Las Vegas my whole life and having parking plentiful, but the parking situation was a dealbreaker for me, and I'm one of those people that doesn't mind having to walk a medium distance from car to front door. It is stupid to me when the garage is full, so we are forced to drive the wrong way up the down ramp just to find any space, besides the 60 handicap spaces on level 3. (Level 1 is employee and Valet, and Level 2 is mostly reserved for high level casino card members), so you can see my frustration. Just let us drive up to level 6, no traffic to fight, enjoy a nice view on my way in, and get on with our night.
In closing, the enitre property is brand new, and most of it really nice, but until they figure out what the word "service" means, I'll be taking my buisness to somewhere that is actually prepaired for customers. Unless you enjoy waiting in lines on a Saturday night where only one person is staffed at the movie box office and concessions, and where staff is so thin else where to the point that all you can do is watch from a distance other people having a good time, I would advise you to think twice, take the extra drive, and go elsewhere as well.
