Hadn't been to Terrible's in about 4 years and booked my latest trip there about 5 months ago. In the meantime, I looked at Yelp and became very scared that the place had changed for the far worse since I'd stayed there. So many reviews said that they place had gone down hill in the last few years so I was very worried.
We just got back yesterday morning and I'm happy to report that all of those reviews are WRONG. I checked in on Wednesday night, checked out Sunday night and had nothing but a great experience in between. Myself and 5 others went so we had 3 rooms in separate parts of the first floor. No issues with gaming floor noise, no issues with smoke smell (my room was a smoking room, so I expected the smell any way) and we had a GREAT time at the pool/hot tub area.
Terrible's has been my favorite place to stay in Vegas since my second time to the city. The first time I fell for that "You MUST stay on the Strip!" nonsense and spent far more money to stay at the Flamingo. My second trip back, and every one since has been at Terrible's.
Wi-Fi is FREE (as opposed to MANY other reviews that claim otherwise). The convenience store is awesome, everything is priced well and the employees are very nice. Terrible's also has one of the best player's clubs available in Vegas, points are easy to earn and easy to use on everything in Terrible's which is already priced well.
I have to go back to Vegas in January for CES and my company will be putting me up in a strip hotel. My self and 3 of the 5 that went this last time are already looking into staying in Vegas past CES and all agree that we need to meet up at and stay at Terrible's!
