| - Last time I was here, was back in December of 2007. Back again, 4 years later, they did a lot of improvements, which I'll give them that. But there are still some things that I dislike about this place.
Located on Main Street and behind Fremont street, Plaza still stands tall. Despite the fact that, they closed for a while. They manage to reopen with a whole new look, new furniture, and a new atmosphere.
We arrived in the afternoon to the parking garage and we notice that they actually have security letting you in the garage. Back in 2007, its like a free for all parking. Even though it is free, at least they monitor people who goes in. Still the same old garage, but its one of the few free ones downtown.
Walking inside, it seems brighter and a bit more lively. 2007, was a bit of a darkish feel to it. But this time around, It did feel a bit warmer than before. Took us a few minutes to get to the check in desk from the garage but we were able to see a lot of new addition to the place. Island Sushi Hawaiian Grill, Hash House A Go Go, and Gigi's Cupcakes, are some of the few new places to check out.
It was a Wednesday afternoon, check in was a cinch and not as busy. We were booked in our room in the south tower. We didn't mind the walk, and feel a bit more at ease that they have security who's watching who goes in the elevators. 8th floor and at the far end of the hotel, is our room, and this is the dislike part.
In 2007, the color scheme was darkish, the carpets seem like they haven't been vacuumed, but I wasn't really there to enjoy it, just to get myself settled into Vegas. But now, December 2011, the color scheme seems brighter, the carpet was changed, and a better TV. What I dislike about it, was that, we only got 3 small pillows for a king size bed. There's not much of a closet, but a place to hang your jacket next to the bathroom sink. I'm sure the safe works, but unfortunately, ours didn't. You have new furniture's, but what's good is a desk, if you really don't have a chair to sit in. You have a new TV, but, what good is it, when you really don't have a remote control for it. I know they did change the wallpaper, but it did look like it was falling apart. The bathroom is still cramped as I remembered it. Still no hair dryer, no ironing board and a lot of wasted space and bare walls.
As for the casino floor, the dealers actually do smile at you, but communication tend to still be limited. They tend to be lively in a way, but after the fact that you start tipping them. But they were nice than the last time I was there.
My overall thoughts and recommendation. If you are looking for a place to lay your head and not care much about the room. Plaza is the place that is a decent price. It's one of those rooms where you get wasted and just want a place to crash. It is nice in a way, but limited things to be nice about. What I do like about it, it's right next to the Fremont Street Experience, there is a lot of things to do there than to stay inside Plaza.
