The only good things about this hotel-casino are that it is cheap and it has a great location on the Strip. The rooms were quaint (meaning really old). Although I requested a non-smoking room, they gave me a room that reeked of cigarettes. I asked for another room and they shoe-horned me into a tiny shoebox of a room next to the emergency exit. It really felt like the room doubled as an interrogation cell. I asked for another room and they finally gave me a room that didn't smell like an ashtray and I could turn around without slamming into something. I know they have renovated "deluxe" rooms but I have the sneaking suspicion that there's one model room on the top floor reserved for the few VIP's willing to venture to Harrah's. The truly sad thing is that I'll probably go back there because it really is cheap...haha.
