| - This review could go either way. Part of me wants to give it 5 stars...but in the interest of helping people, I had to be honest, not ironic :-(
This joint is FABULOUSLY atmospheric if you're looking for a place to settle down for a crack binge...or if, as I was, you are looking for a gross, shitty motel room in which to do a photo shoot. But if you're just looking for a clean, safe place to stay in Vegas....there are plenty of vastly superior options -- and for cheaper, too!
CONS: As the other reviewers mention, the place is shitty, roach-infested, grungy and in a crummy part of town populated by crackheads and whores (and people who "smoke pots"). The a/c units wheeze and groan and don't fit properly; the doorknobs are loose, and the bathrooms are pretty janky.
PROS: The place has history -- it's been around since the 1940s or so, and thousands of wads have been blown in its hallowed rooms. And that's just since June!!
The best part about the Desert Moon Motel is, the TVs in the rooms offer FREE 24-hour XXX movies. During my brief one-hour stay (one of MANY brief, one-hour stays in its history, LOL), the TV happened to be showing a clown (in full circus regalia) fingerbanging an Asian chick with a full, 1980s bush. At the end, instead of jizzing on her....he covered her bush with Silly String!!!!!!
I just don't see getting that kind of ambiance at the Bellagio. I mean, there's dancing fountains.....and then there's jizzing clowns.
Which would YOU prefer?!!
