First, I didn't have a room in this hotel., but I have been to the hotel casino 3 times. The casino is nice and pretty big. nice selection of video slots. Great buffet and Benihana restaurant as well. the pool area looks pretty cool, too. Best parts... Not too crowded and on the city monorail that runs along the whole strip.
Gave it 3 stars also, but this place is way better than the Riviera.
I would really give the LVH 3.5 stars.
