The very first thing you need to know... this hotel/casino is as about as far north of the strip as you can get. If you gave them 1 or 2 stars because the cab ride was outrageous... then you failed to do a little research before booking.
Checked in... the staff were very nice.... we arrived late at night and called ahead for late check in. No issues.
The room....
It was a non-smoking room.. no smell of smoke (a great thing) very clean and really nice at very reasonable rates. We had a room right off the elevator and we were worried about noise. The room was quite... so much so... when we opened our door to leave for the night... people were standing in the hall next to our room having a conversation. We never heard a thing prior to opening the door.
The casino is nice, wasn't nearly as busy or full of smoke like the casinos on the strip (to be expected do to the location.
They have a food court which is open until 11 or 12 in the evening most days.
All in all as long as you are prepared to make the drive to the strip, this is a very nice hotel/casino to stay at.
We enjoyed our stay and will go back on our next trip to Vegas.
