| - Perfect value in downtown Vegas. Rooms were clean but simple, like a Holiday Inn, except the beds were freakin' awesome!! I don't think I've stayed in a comfortable-er hotel bed.
Self-parking was a mess. It took five minutes for the check-in lady to explain to me how hotel guests park for free. (They can, in theory, as it turns out.) But on both Friday and Saturday nights the self-park was completely 100% full, forcing me to either valet-park (no) or visit my friends down the street (hello El Cortez!).
The casino floor is a bit silly. Ridiculously loud music, and an attempt to convince you that a party is happening 24/7 even when it's clearly not. The blackjack dealers are, at night, scantily-clad women who must occasionally take a turn on the small dance floors between blackjack tables. A few of them were highly distracting, I'll admit, but the scene, overall, was not what I was looking for.
One of the best recent additions to downtown Vegas is the 24/7 hot dog place at the D. It's called something like America's Coney Dog. It's really a tremendous value late at night. $10 or so for a chili dog, chili fries, and Coke. Extra for chili in the Coke. Not health food, but super-quick and better than any other super-late-night food option I'm aware of.
