| - i hadn't stayed at this hotel since i went to Vegas with friends about 10 years ago and it was known as the Lady Luck, but it's nice to see the changes they've made not just to this hotel, but the surrounding hotels and attractions in Downtown Vegas.
the room is small, with an Ikea-esque desk/closet unit and mounted flatscreen tv and 2 queen size beds. not that i even cared, but there was no coffee-maker with complimentary coffee or teabags (which i never use anyway), but there were 2 complimentary water bottles (which i gladly did use). you can call and have them bring you up an iron and ironing board if you need it as well.
the slots, tables, sports book, and bar areas are very basic as this isn't one of the high-roller's hotels, but the advantage in that is that the minimum bets required at the tables are cheaper (ie: $5 blackjack), and there are great Downtown attractions that are within a short walk like the Commonwealth, Gold Spike (which is right across the street!), Container Park, and Insert Coin(s).
for about $30 a night, it's not at all a bad option to consider when you're making a quick weekend trip to Vegas. my only complaint is that the parking structure across the street is supposed to be free when you validate your ticket at the Cashier's (as i did after both nights when we were gonna take the car out again for the day), but for whatever reason the sticker they put on my ticket the last day didn't work and i still had to pay $9. when i went back to the Cashier's, they were no help; they claimed they didn't have any sort of cash to reimburse me and that i'd have to go to the front desk to get reimbursed. seeing as we were leaving that day and i was more concerned with grabbing a bite to eat and hitting the road, i just chalked that up as a loss. the lesson there is to just valet park, let the attendant run across the street and retrieve your car. it's worth the few dollars tip.
-civilities.
