| - When my friend told me we were going to be staying off the strip at a random place called Terrible's, I winced. But, it was cheaper and I thought oh ok, why not. I'm all for saving money! When we get there, let me tell you, I was pleasantly surprised!
You walk in and it DOES NOT smell like you walked into the smoldering end of someone's cigarette butt. The room DOES NOT smell like stale smoke either. The people at the front desk were really nice. The people at the counter where you sign up for the player's card were very cool and we got a free t-shirt and a bunch of coupons, which was, again, very cool.
Obviously, this is not some swanky place but I have to say I really want to go back there! The rooms were decent and well worth the price. There was NO mold or mildew in the bathroom, which is a huge deal to me because I think it is so gross to go to a hotel and find that they didn't really bother to clean the room that I want to get clean in. The food upstairs was decent. I ate in the diner-type area and the waiter was hilarious. And, if you ask the cab drivers there where to go for breakfast, they recommend Terrible's, so that speaks well for them.
Now, why didn't I give this place 5 stars? Well, I had one little issue when I was gambling. Mind you, for the most part, the guys at the craps table were awesome. They were so friendly and so helpful and I felt totally comfortable which is great since it was my first time playing craps. The one bad part of the experience is that I was hedging my bets on the 8 and when it hit the 8, the guy took my $5 that was on 8 and gave it to some other random person at the table and then took my $5 that was against the 8 away. So in one fell swoop, I lost $10 when I shouldn't have lost any. Then, when I contested, he just kept saying that it wasn't my money. Needless to say I took all my money off the table and just waited it out until 1) I was calmer and 2) he was replaced.
So overall, I recommend Terrible's. Just be careful with your money at the craps table because if you get a guy who is sloppy and isn't really paying attention, it's his word against yours and he wil win.
