Last minute idea to check into a hotel and play tourist for the night and next day. Check in was simple enough and the staff was very helpful and provided us with a great room. The room itself was very clean, with fluffy pillows and all the amenities. The bathroom seemed a bit small for me but it sufficed, it was only one night mind you. After that it was downstairs to the casino for some drinks. One thing I didn't like was the smokiness. It just seemed as if everyone was smoking everywhere. I've lived in Vegas for four years now and have worked in strip hotels as well as off strip and it just seemed too smoky for the casino floor. Drinks were strong and decently priced.
When it came time for room service it was prompt and the food was not bad at all. My boyfriend had a burger with all the trimmings minus the mayo and I had a delicious chocolate cake. (Yes, I love pie and cake.) All in all a great downtown hotel experience and checkout was quick because you could check out via TV.
