| - I like this place. I'm a cheap bastard, and I can always get a decent room for a good price here. If you have 5 star tastes and a huge expense account, Arizona Charlie's isn't for you. But, if you want a decent room to crash for not a lot of money, it's well worth considering.
I should add the security is very good here. A security guy would ask to see my key card every time I entered the hotel room area. One time I thought I lost my key card in my car. A couple of security guys noticed and asked if everything was ok. Afterwards, I noticed there was usually someone patrolling the parking lot, which made me feel my car was safe there. The staff fixed me up with a new card no problem, and was very polite even though I was making extra work for them.
I also felt the buffet was very good for the price. Again, the staff was very friendly to me, from my waitress, to the chefs, even the guy that cleaned the restroom was pretty cool.
One down side is if you didn't drive into Vegas, its way too far to walk to The Strip or the Convention Center. Also, I like swimming, and the pool was nothing special.
I just stayed at Arizona Charlie's again. The security again was outstanding. I was telling my friend how good the security was when we drove up to the place, and immediately we saw the bike patrol guy in the parking lot. The same thing happened the second time we drove into the parking lot. We didn't even get into our room before yet another guard appeared patrolling the hallway. So, A+ for public safety.
Ate a lot at at the Sourdough Cafe. Food was good and prices were very reasonable. I should mention if you get biscuit's and gravy, the biscuit part is literally drowning in gravy!
I thought the buffet went down a minor notch from the last time I was there, in both quality and the selection of food. Still not bad, though.
Internet was like $11.95 for 12 hours, which is my only major complaint.
One minor complaint is their billing system is very hard to decipher. They didn't try to overcharge me or anything, but I couldn't figure out how they came up with their final price.
My friend and I both agreed we would stay there again.
Another update to my review. I just stayed a few more days at Arizona Charlies in 2012. Let me say again the security here is top notch. When I drove into the parking lot, a cop car was cruising around. Every time I went to my car at night, I saw a security guy riding around on his bicycle. Never had a crime related problem here.
Ate at the Sourdough Cafe 3 times, tried all of their breakfast specials once. Good bang for the buck. They had a good chicken pot pie for $6, I think the skillet breakfast two eggs, hash browns and choice of bacon or sausage and toast or biscuit and gravy was only $2.99, I think it was even 10% less than that if you have an Ace card.
I should add the crowd that patronizes this place definitely tends to be older. So don't expect to see a lot of beautiful gals or guys hanging around here. The upside is your hotel room neighbors will probably be quiet so you can get a decent night's sleep.
One small downside is the garbage truck always seems to do it's pick-up around 2:45AM, and from my room I could definitely hear it. Why can't management arrange for a more reasonable pick-up time?
My friend stayed at the Mirage for 3 days. His bill was $650 for one person, but he did get 2 buffet tickets. My bill was less than $160 for 3 days for 2 people. I had just stayed at the Hilton in Monterey, and although the room there was nicer than Arizona Charlie's, it really wasn't that much nicer.
I'm going to keep going back to Arizona Charlies, because for me it is a good hotel for not a lot of money.
