| - Not the most luxurious of hotels on the strip but it is centrally located, and the prices are reasonable. We booked early and paid $88/night, minus the stupid resort fee, which is a huge ripoff.
The rooms are standard issue, but it's true that the walls are thin and it's easy to hear everything. Especially the plumbing - showers and flushing toilets are LOUD. We also had the unfortunate experience of having the alarm clock in the next room go off each night at midnight. And of course there is no one in that room, so we had to call Housekeeping to turn it off, which took over 30 minutes each time. Ugh.
We stayed on the 3rd floor this time, which gave us a hideous view of the roof with all the trash, dead birds and vacuum cleaners on it. On the plus side, we were towards the center of the building and actually got wifi in the room! That made our son happy, since there isn't supposed to be wifi in the rooms, and iPods don't work with ethernet cables. Not fast connection though.
Pools are nice, but crowded and not a lot of shade for those who can't be in the sun all the time. Chairs fill up fast, so go down early and stake out a spot. Don't bother with the inner tube rental in the lazy river - eventually, one will free up and you can use it without paying the $5.
