Decided to stay here for one night on the MayPac fight night since every hotel in Vegas had ridiculously inflated prices. We also chose this hotel since we bought our CCTV ticket location was for the Criss Angel theater at the hotel, and we already had plans to go to Light at Mandalay Bay afterwards. Worked out really well since we used the "mall tunnel" to walk over to Mandalay before and after clubbing, and at 4am after a night of heavy drinking, the luxury of being able to walk to your room in 5-10 mins is well worth it.
So the hotel itself is a far cry from what I remember as a kid when it opened up in the 90's. There's nothing luxurious about the hotel. I'm glad my group only booked one night here and the rest of our trip at Cosmo. The check in and check out was pretty quick. They could work on being a little more efficient with the taxi cab line. I must have waited on the line for well over a half hour during midday. If you're looking for a budget hotel that isn't dirty, this isn't a bad option. I would look else where if you truly want to enjoy yourself for a weekend.
