CASINO ONLY: After having drinks with a friend, I wanted to hit the floor. They are trying to draw hotel guests who are in town for conventions to gamble and experience the casino atmosphere.
They have some of the lowest casino minimums if the small circular area just off the hotel registration desk. $5 Blackjack Switch (and Blackjack Switch Pair/Bonus game), $10-15 Blackjack. On MLK weekend Sunday night, there was ample room throughout the casino that you could grab a seat at any table game with it being no more than half full (I prefer to gamble with a smaller crowd and individuals not new to the game).
The restaurants throughout the casino close at 10PM - major disappointment for Vegas but the bars do stay open a little later.
$10-12 taxi ride gets you to the edge of the Strip (via Paradise or Koval).
