In A Nutshell:
-Had no choice in staying here b/c we waited until the last minute to attend CES 2016, so all the nicer hotels on the Strip were booked OR outrageously overpriced.
-The pluses for staying here is "hey you get to experience Vegas from it's original hey-days!" Note: not gonna do that again!
-The entire hotel just smells like cigarettes, which absolutely disgusts me (sorry smokers, but I hope they get banned oneday or the taxes on each pack sky-rocket, plus why risk lung cancer?)
-I do however, love gambling in this part of town vs. the Strip. I like the crowd and atmosphere and lower table minimums ($5).
-Another small positive was the location. Fremont Street Experience is a step outside the door and I like mingling with the crowd and love the energy - PLUS you don't have to worry about walking a mile to cross the street like you do on the Strip.
-It's way EASIER for Lyft/Uber to find/pick you up on Fremont Street vs. the Strip.
Overall, I know for sure I won't stay here again, but like I mentioned above, I will come back for the gaming.
