| - Stayed here for a friends recent 30th birthday celebrations and I was surprised at how nice it was. Though I'm a fan of the Cosmo and Monte Carlo, I would definitely consider this place again.
ROOMS: The rooms were updated. We had a suite that had a living area, a jacuzzi tub inside, and a nice updated bathroom. Because we were so high up, we got to look down over the casino. I'm afraid of heights so it was a little terrifying, especially since there isn't really anything but a small wall to keep you from climbing over. I wonder how many drunk people accidentally plummet to their demise?
Because the hotel is in the shape of a pyramid, the elevators move in a diagonal. The rooms are set up that way, too. Because of this odd shape, there are weird pockets of empty space where furniture doesn't fit which I'm guessing was a interior decorating nightmare for the poor designers. Overall, the room was nice and clean and since it was non-smoking, smelled fresh the duration of the trip.
POOL: This was nice and it's located near the parking structure. They provide towels and a lot of adult beverages at the pool. They aren't the cheapest ($30 for a bucket of 6 beers) and we went with the Shocktops which actually came in can form. I'm guessing it's because you can't have glass by the pool, but if you're a Bud drinker, the cans are aluminum so you're okay.
The water is shallow and they have some pedestals in the middle where you can lounge or do as we did and rest your drinks on it. They have the VIP cabanas and pool for those people that think they are high rollers and plenty of lifeguards on deck in case you drown.
PARKING: Super easy in an adjacent structure. You don't have to maneuver much through the casino to find the check-in area. They even have a motorcycle parking area if you're on two wheels.
INTERNET: We could never connect, so if you're in need to do work, I would maybe try to find another spot in the hotel.
If you can get a cheap rate, it's worth it. Especially if you're just going to be out on the town anyways.
