So I did not stay here this time. I only saw one of my friends rooms. The renovated rooms are very decent. Here's the problem. The hotel is one that has been around for so many years so there is only so much that can be done. There are many newer hotels popping up all around this property so upon first sight this place seems pretty dusty. But it's clean and feels safe. If you can get a good deal go for it.
Now I did not avoid staying here, I simply flew in for a birthday dinner at 6pm and got on a plane home at 6am, so I didn't need a hotel room because it's Vegas, and Vegas never sleeps. Would I stay here? Yes. For 199 a night? No. Yes the weekend rate for this particular weekend was 199. I would totally need a better deal.
Now as far as the gambling goes. WHOO HOO!! I played 100 bucks and won back the money I paid for my ticket, my uber ride, my Ruth's Chris dinner, and my late night pizza snack. So yes, I was happy with the games here. The 3D Wheel of fortune and the spin the wheel dollar game.
