| - I just came back from Vegas this weekend and stayed here. It has been almost 10 years since I last stepped foot into this establishment. The last time I was here, I had food poisoning and broke out in hives from eating the crawfish at the buffet. Had to go to the emergency room and get shot up with benadryl. I did contact the manager and he comped me for a future stay.
Anyways, when I came back here this past weekend, nothing changed at all. I did notice that there's a fresh scent in the lobby area. Previously, it wreaked of smoke. The elevator, hallway and room all looked the same. Very disappointed at the decor. I was pretty sure they would have done some kind of renovation. The room looks so old and tacky and it make feel dirty. The furniture is drab and the bathroom can look cleaner. I noticed that the shelf in the bathroom was dusty. I do believe they replaced their tube tv inside of the armoire with a flat screen. Their wifi is a big fat joke. They claim to provide you with free wifi, but it's so slow that there's no point. I clocked it at under 1mb. Who does that? If you want faster speeds up to 10mb, you will need to fork over $10 per day. Isn't that supposed to be covered in the resort fee? I did get a chance to check out the fitness center. For a hotel like this, I was surprised how decent it looked. It was pretty roomy and the equipment looked new or unused. I'd go with the latter as no one really works out when they are in Vegas. Especially in an establishment like this.
The one thing I did like about this place is the casino. The dealers are, for the most part, friendly. The minimum to play is $5 and the cocktail waitress comes by frequently. I usually never finish my beer before they come back, so I end up having to double fist my beers/cocktails. Not complaining at all. The band in the lounge area plays current music and they aren't bad at all. Although, this is the same band that played here almost 10 years again. The lounge is a nice place to chill if you want to get away from losing money to the house.
I don't see myself coming back here, but might just for the casino.
