| - Where to start.
As a Vegas veteran, I know what to expect on the Strip. But hey, I stay on the Strip because that is where the best times are!! Sure there are a lot of drunk, loud college kids- my group included. Everything is overpriced, which is why I bring my own bottled water and beer thank you. I would rather pay through the nose and be in the middle of it all than stay off strip and make up the difference in cab fare.
When I saw the prices at this hotel I was pretty stoked for my Labor day get away. I have stayed at MGM, NYNY and Luxor and LOVED this area of the strip. Mostly younger people just having a good time. So I booked the room.
Upon arriving at the hotel I was met by a saleslady at the door announcing she had my welcome gift. Having never experienced this before, I thought it was just a nice gesture but the little voice in my head reminded me "this is Vegas, nothing is free". So my group of 3 guys and myself spent about 10 minutes being talked to about show tickets before we realized it was a hustle. I figured it was a one time thing, but by the end of the trip we literally were running past the doors to not get hassled. HOW ANNOYING!
We check in and are told we are on the 2nd floor. Kind of a bummer, because let's face it, I love the lights and a good view makes the room. I don't say anything and get to the room hoping we at least are looking at the Luxor.. I opened my window and to my dismay we were 5 feet from a brick wall. Yes seriously- a window facing another part of the hotel building.
We went about our first night hanging out and walking the casino. I crashed earlier because I had been up so early to finish packing while my boyfriend and his friend stayed out drinking. I woke up about 6 am the following day feeling itchy. I go to the bathroom and turn on the light and there is a HUGE BEDBUG on my leg. I freaked out and killed it, noticing bites on my leg and both my feet. I immediately wake up everyone in the room and call the front desk. They proceed to send a security guard up who is pretty nonchalant like this is an every day occurrence.
They switch us to another room after many pictures are taken and in the new room we notice it is REALLY dirty. I mean not the average, partied in Vegas room dirty, but dried boogers on the sheets nasty dirty. We asked the manager for yet another room and she came through with a really nice suite for us. That is the only reason this place gets 2 stars. Take it from me, if you are going to stay here, buck up and get the suite.
The buffet was super cheap, and basically you get what you pay for, super cheap food. We went to the Wynn buffet one day and it was AWESOME.
Basically if you are wanting the strip and want to gamble on getting bitten by bedbugs, stay in a standard room. For a nicer experience get a suite. For an even better time, stay at MGM, they know how to clean the rooms right!
