| - Well, it has been a very long time since I posted any reviews and we have been back to Las Vegas many times since my last one, so I have intentions of catching up!
We found Sunset Station in our constant quest for good video poker. I had a hell of a run here, a winning streak to end all winning streaks. We thought the place was beautiful, the casino clean and cocktail service was great. There are good food options and we had a damn fine time.
So we decided to stay there the next time we came to Las Vegas. This is where it gets somewhat interesting. Of course after my huge winning streak, we were offered a free stay. So we book it and head out. $20 at the desk got us into a suite. Awesome, yes?! Not so much. Well, it was clean. And HUGE. I have had smaller apartments. MUCH smaller apartments. But it all seemed just a little dated, except the master bath, which was huge and totally decked out. It was nice, don't get me wrong, it was just short on windows and short on that cool hotel feeling. Also, like many Station casinos, there were a lot of kids. Boooooo
But what wrecked the stay was the fact that the good video poker was GONE. As in machines GONE. We were so disappointed that we barely spent any time in the casino, opting instead to tour every single casino in a five mile radius. Review of THOSE will follow, for those who are interested.
So here's the takeaway: the place is nice. We love to split our stay between the strip and an outlying hotel and Sunset Station seemed like a great place to do that. We will check back on the whole video poker situation because that is, after all, one of the big reasons we are in Las Vegas to begin with. So if it returns, we will give the place another chance.
