| - I'm from Vegas, so pardon me if I am not as excited about this place as a tourist would be. First, the place is nowhere near the strip, yet they charge a "resort fee"... really? Who are they kidding. They are a neighborhood casino.
Charging it is one thing, but when you book telephonically, they should TELL you about this. Next, they charge a huge deposit on your credit card that isn't refunded for days after your stay. This is in case you use items in the "mini bar"....which isn't--it's pepsis in your fridge at four dollars a pop. Of course, because you have this, you have no fridge. If you call down to get one that is "available" according to the info in the room, they let you know this will be $15 a night. I am not paying $15 per night for something found in every Motel 6. There is also no microwave available.
With the prices that they charge for these rooms, you'd think you would get at least four towels. Most women like to use a towel for their hair and one for their bodies, right? Nope. You get two towels. When we arrived, there were no robes, though there were notes letting us know if the robes were missing we'd be charged. Now, if we never had them.... but I digress.
The pool closes at 8, it's Las Vegas and it's 112 at 3 am, but you can't swim. The eggs benedict from room service had zero flavor, and a chunk of ham that was dinner sized--way overwhelming the rest of the dish. The english muffin portion was soggy wet. I've never had worst eggs benedict.
Registration is in the oddest spot, nearly in a basement behind a bar. It took me forever to find it.
This hotel doesn't fit any of the things it is trying to be --if it is a neighborhood casino/hotel, it should be inexpensive dining and stay for friends, but it is outrageous. If it is a "resort" it should have amazing service, food and amenities, but it doesn't. It is simply awkward.
