Prior to the complimented rooms that I received to The Hotel at Mandalay Bay, Flamingo, and NYNY I had to get room not complimented for a couple of nights. I looked up a room that was a little off the strip and found out that Palace Station had rooms at $15.00 a night. I thought to myself was "That is dirt cheap'! You do get what you pay for in the room. It looked like a cheap motel room.
I didn't know was that the Palace Casinos (Red Rock, Green Valley Ranch etc) charged about $17 hotel fee per night on top of the room rate. The fee includes internet access, gym/pool use and shuttles to/from the airport or strip. Which is worth the fee if you used most of the things offered. I ended up using everything except for the pool.
The casino itself was decent looking and they do have great restaurants here though. The rooms were pretty crappy though.
