I just stayed here for 5 days for the weekend of April 9th. We wanted something cheap but yet something centrally located and somewhere we won't get pregnant just from sleeping on the bed. Checked in on Thursday and out on Monday.
After booking the room I read the reviews in this place. I immediately regretted not reading the reviews first. But It was too late to cancel so I said f it and said we will try it for ourselves.
I originally booked the cheapest room, which I think was the deluxe room. When we checked in the lady was very nice and highly encouraged us to upgrade to the next room... Then she very easily persuaded us by saying the next rook up is only $10 more a night and the she told us the room I booked was remodeled about 18-20 years ago () but the next room up was only $10 extra a night and was remodeled 8-10 years ago. We were immediately sold. She then asked if we wanted the noisy side (facing the strip) or that quiet side. Us two being there to party, we requested the noisy side. I asked if there was a refrigerator in the room. She said they are $10 extra a night but she said she will throw it I'm since we upgraded. That was very impressive.
We got to the 10th floor and found our room. Going into this with a bad taste after reading the yelp reviews I expected to be disgusted. I was pleasantly surprised by the room. It was actually decent. Nothing like staying at a fancy hotel but it got the job done.
Now we go to the bad things:
All sinks drained very slow
Parking was kinda scarce
The elevators smelled like weed ALL DAY EVERY DAY.
The entire building smelt like cigarette smoke.
The carpet in the hallways/rooms needed to be quarantined.
Overall, our stay was pleasant and I'd stay there again based on the value.
Give this place a chance unless you're a princess, then stay at the Palazzo. Hope this info helps.
Btw, if you like to party, go to the pool at the Flamingo. It's 21+ and a blast!
