Definitely a four star for the Downtown area. Only a three if comparing to other locations on the strip. I prefer the "feel" of the Fremont Street area over the strip....makes me feel like Vegas use to be. Even better with a 35 year blackjack dealer veteran dealing at my table!
We stayed in the Gold Tower and the room was nice. Starting to get a bit dated, but overall well worth the room rate. I am spoiled when it comes to beds and rarely do I find a bed that meets my expectations in a hotel room. This place did. Pillow top mattresses with down comforters, the beds rocked.
This trip was business, however I spent some time checking out the pool area and it would be very family friendly if I brought my family to Vegas. (Not Likely) The shark tank and water slide puts this one over the top.
Overall a stay that was worth the $$. Even better that their black jack tables paid the bill!!!
