I used the Priceline "N.Y.O.P." option to book a relatively cheap 3-night Summer Family Getaway to Vegas and must admit that I was initially disappointed with the result. Online reviews aren't favorable and everyone complains about the High Daily Resort fee. (All of the decent Vegas Casinos are heading towards a $25/night charge now. Call the hotel before checking-in so your not surprised at the Front Desk)
Sidenotes before I go into a Pro/Con List: Yes, the pool music is loud but it only adds to the atmosphere. Yes, there is a Cigarette/Mary Jane aroma. You're in Vegas, get your ass out of the room. After 72 hours, I caved and decided I'm a Fan...
PRO's
- $20 Room Upgrade Trick was Successful (Paradise Tower Rooms are significantly better than Casino Tower. Especially when comparing the bathroom size)
- Beds: Comfortable and Clean
- Pool Area: Sunday Rehab Pool party is still lively after all these years
- Mr. Lucky's 777 Special (Salad, Mashed Potatoes, Steak & Shrimp for $7.77)
- Casino Layout: Especially if you like Music Memorabilia
- Lots of places Convenient & Liquor Stores nearby
CON's
- Off the Strip. (Run App showed 0.89 miles from Front Desk to Strip not 0.4 miles that I read online)
- Coupons given at Check-in are a joke
- Casino empty at times. Where is everyone?
