| - youtube video of my room "cabana suite" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwmzbOXqNzg
The 5 star is based on the value I paid, 21 dollars, and not on the level of luxury I experienced during my stay. Found this gem of a hotel in Fremont street (a block off the Fremont street canopy), at the time I booked, it was priced at 21 dollar a night with no resort fee. It could even be lower depending on the time of the year you visit. When I got there my room was not ready so they upgraded me to their "suite", (Cabana suite) which is a another building across the street. I think the room is well appointed, clean and modern. The bath is also very clean and looked freshly renovated. But the lime green wall paint is an absolute disaster. Unless you are making green screen porno in your hotel room, in that case you'll love the convenience. The staff are very friendly, much nicer than the ones on the stripe. On strip if you are not a whale you are no body, out in a smaller casino they actually enjoy costumer service. It's a very local feeling, the kind of las vegas you remembered from the old days. Cheap drinks, cheap food, no frills. I stayed there for like a week, also once you get used to downtown Las Vegas, the cost of living is much more reasonable than the strip, so you save on other travel expenses as well. The bus stop is also on the end of line of the deuce bus, why's that a bonus you ask? Because you can be sure to get a seat. Downside is that the suites are not in the same building as the casino, it's not much of a view and far from the strip action, also the walk home from the bus stop, in the wee hours, can feel kinda sketchy because you are officially off the tourist path for a few minutes on foot. but totally worth it if you in Vegas on a budget. Would stay there again if the price is right.
