| - We got a free room from my dad's friend for 4 days 3 nights stay during 4th of July weekend, so I consider that a freaking good deal already. Free room! Who can complain?
Room is standard, but who cares about how pretty the room is if you're only there to take showers and sleep. View is unbeatable, though. Ours looking straight to Caesar's Palace and Bellagio's musical fountain from the corner of the window. We just had to turn off all the lights in the room, open the curtains all the way, sit down, and enjoy the fireworks display.
Monorail station is located behind this hotel, for those of you who choose to ride it. But most good places are within walking distance from this hotel, so even if you don't feel walking, maybe riding a bus saves more money than monorail.
Didn't go to their buffet (half of my family members are vegetarians), didn't try their swimming pool, but it looked pretty good when I passed by. Didn't play in their casino either (I heard they rip you off there, though). Do your check out from the TV in your room cuz sometimes the lines downstairs can get really crowded.
And unless you really need to, don't use the internet. Heck, $14 per day is not worth it. I used my hotspot-capable phone for internet.
Hotel isn't that big and crowded, which is a plus for me considering the sea of humans I had to go through in TI or Bellagio. Stay here and play somewhere else. That way you save money. :)
PS: I had to take 2 stars off cuz maid knocked on our door at 9 a.m. in the morning for 2 days straight (to clean the room). I couldn't find the "do not disturb" sign either. Maybe they don't provide one, but I don't know. It's kinda rude to knock on guest's door to clean their room. I've never experienced that in other hotels.
For an "old" hotel, this one can get you a pretty good deal.
