Just came back from Vegas where I stayed at the Palace Station for three nights during a convention.
Overall I can say it was a good experience. After reading reviews here I opted to get a room in the tower. I think that was a wise choice after seeing some pics that some fellow convention goers posted of their courtyard rooms. My tower room as clean, modern and spacious. No complaints.
Not much to choose from as far as bars or restaurants in the hotel. I was happy to see they had a Starbucks and a Subway. Most of my meals were spent at the Grand Cafe a 24 hour diner with cheap eats. It was fair dining.
The lobby is a bit run down and the casino itself...smokey but hey...I was there for a convention so didn't spend much time in either.
I actually had time to enjoy the pool area to which they have two sections...a north and south pool. I guess my only complaint is they need to be better labeled. When calling for some pool side drinks I was asked which I was at....ugh...I have no idea. How about either labeling the pool area, menu that is posted next to the phone or hey....getting caller ID so you know which pool people are calling from.
In the end I'd have no problem staying here if there was another convention I was attending in the hotel.
