I have stayed at most of the Vegas strip hotels and here are my thoughts.
This is usually the bargain hotel on the strip of the NICER hotels. The location is prime and you cannot beat that!
What's nice about this hotel and separates itself from the others is that the standard rooms are equipped with a HUGE tub. If memory serves, I think that it was even jetted. Major plus on the bathroom in my books.
The band that is featured in the hotel rocks if you like dance or TOP 40 tunes. The hotel usually draws a younger crowd without attitude, period.
The only bad thing about this hotel is if you decide to rent a car and stay here. If you take a taxi, you should be fine. Otherwise, you will need to park in the back and then trek about 1/4 mile through the mall dragging your suitcase on cobblestone.
I do have to admit that the mall is really great, especially since there is a wonderful variety of food!
TIP: If you are shopping in the mall, make sure that you grab a free coupon book near the customer service desk. The book offers discounts on food and shopping.
