I wish they had 1/2 stars. This place is right about 3 1/2 stars
Location: Not bad right in the middle of the strip. It's a close walk to Paris, Bellagio, Caesar's & the Aria across the street. Our room had a wonderful view of the fountains at the Bellagio.
Check in: Just don't get there at check-in time. We got there straight up at 3pm and line was about 30-40 groups deep. It took about a hour to get checked-in and the line actually was moving faster then I thought it would. The front desk staff was nice & helpful.
Room: It's "larger". We stayed in a resort room and it's a little bigger than the normal rooms...bigger floor space & two sinks in the bathroom. Our room had the Chariots of Fire them...which was a little dated. The layout of the room is odd and the TV (which didn't move) was on the left wall so you really had to watch TV from an odd angle if you were laying in bed. The shower was GROSS...there was A LOT of soap scum and you can tell in the nooks that this place is pretty dated.
Casino: It's a smaller casino floor but I like that it's more manageable and you can get to your room easily. There was the "pleasure pit" if you wanted to see girls on poles dance while you played the tables and pretty much on weekends after 11pm...every table/pole seem to have a girl on it.
Food/Shopping: One of the better things about this place a good mall and some decent food places that won't kill your wallet.
Overall: I would stay here again with friends since it seems pretty affordable for all. If I went to Vegas with just the hubby we might pick a little nicer hotel just to try something different.
