Las Vegas is one of those places where, yes, people will judge you by where you stay. Whatever. Once you get over that you will realize the Quad is actually a really decent place to stay especially when you are trying to "ball on a budget".
When we arrived we did have a long wait in line so that part of peoples reviews is true. They were really accomodating, however, and a kind associate named Becky gave us a room near the elevator and even on a higher floor! Also, if you sign up for Total Rewards (includes all the major Harrah's hotels) then the early check-in fee is waived.
We stayed in a Deluxe 2 Queen room. Like other reviewers, we checked the room for roaches, used condoms and general cleanliness. Its not a top of the line hotel so you do have to realize that you get what you pay for. Yes, they need to change the carpet...there were some weird stains on the wall. But in general the place was clean. The sheets were spotless and we had a flat screen television. Also, unlike Elara where we frequently stay, this hotel has an ice machine on every floor.
You are right in the middle of the strip and within walking distance to many of the main hotels including the nightlife at the Mirage, Wynn and Venetian. We didnt drive so I cant speak about the parking, but getting a cab here was no problem at all - probably because its so easy to walk to everything.
The lobby and gambling area is really nice. Once they decide to give the rooms a carpet/paint job...if i were them I would raise the rates because you can't beat the centralness of this hotel.
Dont be scared just dont get the classic room.
