| - I have to say, for being my first time in Vegas, the Hooters Hotel and Casino was a really good place to stay - it didn't have the wild experience, and it was at the end of the strip. Next time I probably would want to be more in towards the middle of the strip when I stay in Vegas, but this place did me just fine.
The room we were staying in at Hooters was pretty screwed up though. We had issues with the bathroom from when we first got there. I had just driven 5 hours in from Phoenix (after a quick stop at the Damn) - and wanted to shower. We took showers, and noticed that the water wasn't draining in the tub. So I told the front desk that this was happening. They said they would be sending someone up - so we left, went and walked around - had dinner, etc and did the nightly Vegas thing.
We came back, went to bed, woke up and went to take showers only to notice that the shower was still doing the same thing. I went back downstairs, told them the story, and off we went again, as they said someone would be back up to fix it. We came back after breakfast and I checked the shower - it worked! I flushed the toilet, and it didnt flush.. WTF Mate?
Anyway - I go back downstairs, now a little bit pissed (It takes a lot to get me mad, and If I'm frustrated, I get what I want). So I went downstairs, talked to the person at the desk - didnt like the response of, "We'll send someone back up.." So I talked to a manager and told him we either wanted a new room, or we were going to another hotel - and we were upgraded to a better room.
Now normally this would look bad, but I like a place that actually listens to customers. I never asked for an upgrade or a better room the first two times I went down there.. I really didn't want to move my bags. So the third time, I just didnt want to deal with it anymore. So we ended up getting an upgrade, and something like 20% off the entire bill, which I was completely satisfied with.
The rooms are actually really nice too. They make you feel like you are in a Hooters (shocking, I know) and the hotel staff is generally very friendly and accommodating. The pool outside looked great, although it was a bit below swimming temperature for me at the time, but again - it looked great with the outdoor bars and everything.
The casino is nice too. A little bit cramped in some spots, but a nice feel to the place. And again, its nice to be in a casino and see hooters girls a plenty!
Whether you are staying at their hotel or not, you have to at least check it out. It is worth it!
