| - I have to admit, when I pulled into the parking lot of this hotel, the first thing I did was call up the place I used to book my reservation to see if they could cancel it. I didn't want to stay here. The exterior of this place looks more like a seedy motel than a hotel and casino. After much argument, I was told that they could refund my money, except for the first night. So I decided to stay here for one night.
To my surprise, the room was quite decent. It had the feel of a small studio apartment more than a hotel room. There were two queen-sized beds in the room, and they were partitioned in a way that made it seem like they were in two different sections of the room. There's also a "kitchen" area, although there's nothing in there that's like a kitchen, except for a small refrigerator and a coffee machine. The beds were clean and comfortable, and the bathroom was fairly clean. The internet was easy to use and didn't require any passwords.
The casino itself isn't really a casino. It's just a room with slot machines and a bar. There's also a swimming pool in the courtyard. I wish there were some kind of gift shop, or some other place to go and buy snacks. There's absolutely nothing within walking distance of this hotel.
So after staying here for one night, I can admit that I overreacted by getting scared and trying to cancel my reservation. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. In fact, the room was quite nice. However, I definitely wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone that comes to Las Vegas on vacation. Pay a little more money and stay in a nicer place, preferably somewhere closer to The Strip. This hotel isn't good for much else except being a place to sleep and shower. It feels a little oppressive to me. I wouldn't stay here again.
