This joint would have been higher on my star list if not for a couple of issues on my last stay here... overall though I do like this hotel and have been here multiple times.
However on my last stay here I noticed the following things that made me disappointed and/or to shake my head in pure wonderment:
* There was mold in the shower on the ceiling and on the caulking
* There was lipstick on the pillow shams, confirms that they werent changed and washed! Which I always figure is the case... who knows what else is on those things...
* The no hat policy for the regular bars in the casino proper??? Seriously WTF... but flip flops and t shirts are ok? I mean can we at least have a sensical dress code here. You can go hang out while wearing flipflops and dance even while wearing basically anything but a hat.
I ABSOLUTELY HATE THE NO HAT THING. I am a hat guy. I love wearing hats. If someone wants to wear a hat in a bar after 7pm when they are buying drinks why forse him to take off the hat? Is "hat hair" really so much "KLASSIER"? I dont think so in the slightest.
Some other observations:
* There are options for both free and paid wi-fi
* Great amenities like the Shark Reef, Wave Pool, Lazy River, etc
* Most of the table games have higher than average limits for the strip
* Lots of great free parking =D
* Its a great venue for concerts where even the back seats have a decent view of the stage and you can hear everything quite well.
The beds were comfortable and not overly soft as many hotels can be. The towels were fresh and that made me quite happy. Nothing worse than getting stained towels or ones with pubes hanging out in them...
As my last trip was a work related trip, I found that I was comfortable working at the desk and was able to spend a few hours there completely a bunch of photo editing without issue before heading down to play in the casino next door. =)
Overall I do recommend this place, unless you like to wear hats. Then its like you're in the hat Nazi zone if you want to hang out in one of the various bars or lounges there.
