This is for the Hilton that is located slightly off the strip, closer to Circus Circus that has the huge "H" sign similar to the shape of Hurley's logo. The room was comp'ed thanks to our good friend.
The best part of our room was definitely the beds. One of the most comfy beds I've slept on, it's like they stacked 3 memory foams on top of each other. We got a smoking room so I can't really judge the smell, the fact that it reeked of cigars only makes sense - I'd take a bath and smoke a cigar, too.
We tried the buffet at a very discounted price. I would say I wouldn't mind eating here for free, but I wouldn't pay more than 10$ for it. What I liked was that they have an alcohol bar as part of the buffet, so yeah, I got myself an Oktoberfest at like 11am.
We played at some of the tables here, and from my experience I must say the dealers/staff were pretty friendly and funny.
Overall, this place can't really be compared to places like Bellagio/Venetian. It's more in the class of your standard hotel. But for a hotel that is less than a 5 minute walk from the strip, I wouldn't mind staying here if I had to pay half or a fraction of the cost as the other flashy hotels.
