STEPH JUDGEMENT: The best place to stay for Punk Rock Bowling.
They had a special multi-day deal for Punk Rock Bowling attendees so the bf and I decided to take advantage of it. I'd never stayed anywhere downtown before but it was nice enough--plus, you can't beat its proximity to the concert area. Pretty standard hotel room, but the pool with the sharks was really cool, as was the water slide, and we also liked the adults-only pool upstairs. Our room was in the Carson Tower, and we had a pretty good view of the concert area out of our window. We could also hear it a little too well, when they were doing sound checks at 8am and whatnot. That didn't bother us too much, but I could only imagine what some of the unsuspecting vacationers were thinking of seeing the tattooed, mohawked, and generally colorful horde descending on the place, lol. The staff that we encountered were all really cool and handled the mayhem with aplomb. We're already looking forward to next year's visit!
