| - Overall, the hotel was alright. My boyfriend and I had fun regardless, but comparing to other hotels, the Silverton wasn't very impressive. We stayed in a standard room. The bathroom was tiny. The sink and shower was a little outdated. They provided no cabinets or drawers in the room for clothes. The TV was old and small. They also charge for water. I had to pay for wi-fi and it was a little choppy.
As far as it being "rustic" or western-type or lodge-like, I thought it was pretty weak. Having lots of browns doesn't make something "rustic." We decided to stay there because we wanted that experience, but instead were a little disappointed. Heck, they didn't even play country music.
As far as the casino goes, it gets pretty dead on weeknights. We arrived on a Thursday and found a few old people scattered around by the slots. We don't gamble, so it was just funny to people watch. People looked so miserable and brainwashed. Correction, we did try to gamble, but weren't very successful. Maybe it's because we're completely hopeless, but we had no idea how all the games worked. So we pushed the help button and waited for an attendant to come by. After a few awkward minutes, we decided to just go to the bar. I did love the bloody mary, which was extra strong and spicy, just the way I like it. The cosmo was okay. I totally loved the prices for drinks. Super cheap.
My boyfriend was super excited about the Bass Pro Shop, so it was one of the big reasons why we wanted to go stay there. They don't have as much as the one near where we live, but it's still a nice touch to have nearby. The aquarium was pretty cool. A great thing about this hotel is that it's very close to the strip, without being on the strip. You can easily get to anywhere you want from the Silverton.
Overall, the Silverton is an okay place to stay if you're not expecting grand things. It's quaint and comfortable enough. The price per night was not all that bad.
