I've stayed in worse. This is definitely the most convenient hotel for Lake Mead as it's a 5 minute drive down to the lake. There's also a pretty cool hiking trail right behind the hotel that takes you next to the lake for some pretty awesome views.
The staff wasn't very friendly. They all seemed like they hate their jobs (I don't really blame them, the hotel is in the middle of nowhere) But no one was extremely rude. The food at Cafe Kokopelli was OK, not horrific but not amazing either. The hostess was a little snot though and I could have gone without her attitude.
The room was small and tolerable. The carpet was kind of stained which was a little gross, but it was a pet friendly room. We were able to rent a mini fridge for $10/night for our perishables which was pretty cool.
Best part was that they allowed all 3 of our dogs for $10 each (not even per night!)
It's also less than 1/4 mile from the Hoover Dam, although we didn't get a chance to check that out.
The casino is kind of boring...all just the same slots. Not too much variety. And the machines don't take coins so that's a pain in the behind.
Took advantage of the 99cent breakfast after midnight, which was an awesome deal.
Overall it was OK for our first trip to the lake.
Next time we'll probably just stay in Henderson and make the drive for some more homey accomodations.
