Normally I stay on the Strip, and usually at the Cosmo. Recently, I received a free room for 2 nights plus comps on food and gambling and decided to give HRC a try. I'm glad I did. For one, they don't charge for parking like the hotels on the Strip does now. And, they offer a shuttle service to the Strip if you need it.
Our King Room in the Casino Tower faced the pool, and it was a decent view with a pseudo balcony, where the windows open but you can't step out. It was in the middle of December so no one was swimming, and it was damn cold. I'm guessing its a bit more active when its summer time.
The rooms were spacious and I really liked the lotion they gave. Smells good. Too bad they use soap and not shower gel. Oh well.
Overall a great stay and the breakfast we had at Mr. Lucky's was pretty good, too. I was able to gamble enough points to get $75 in free Macy's gift cards, so that was a bonus for me as well.
