Spent a weekend here earlier this month. Can't comment on the prices since my rooms were comped. Diamond check-in was quick. I was in n' out in 5min tops. I had a room in the newly renovated tower. North tower I believe? Suffice to say, I was pretty surprised how nice the room looked. Before walking into my room, I hadn't realized it was newly remodeled in October. Shared the room with a couple friends. I know one friend made use of the alarm clock/radio ipod docking station.
The casino portion. The times I've played here it's been good. Staff are friendly, courteous. Selection of games & dining spots are decent.
The weekend overall went without a hitch. The rooms aren't as big as what I'm used to at the Rio. But they definitely were nice. Would stay here again if I chose somewhere on the strip.
