We did a quick last minute trip to Vegas and booked a few nights here because the price was good and we wanted to see if they had improved the rooms yet. The check in area for diamond/platinum members was a little hard to find but I don't think they are done renovating so this may get better. The area itself was enjoyable, we got some waters and a cookie when we checked in and the staff was really nice and welcoming.
Our room was one of renovated rooms and still had the balcony, a dying feature in Vegas hotels. Granted our view was of a concrete room but you could still see the strip and that's all that really matters:) The room itself is definitely an upgrade from what the rooms used to be. I'd compare the rooms now to a Ramada Inn or something similar. Nothing special, just your basic hotel room.
The other parts of the hotel are still waiting for renovations and I don't think all the rooms have been renovated yet. The elevator is most likely in need of an upgrade and hopefully they get to that soon. The hallways also looked like they still needed updating.
Not my usual Vegas hotel to stay at, but overall I'd stay again and recommend for a cheap hotel on the strip in a great location. Not as many amenities and surely not as luxurious as most other strip hotels but you get what you pay for and this is a bargain:) How much time do you usually spend in the room in Vegas anyway;)
