My husband and I had the BEST time here! It was our first time staying here and we were not disappointed! We will never stay anywhere else and never in Vegas. Henderson is the cat's pajamas. It was super easy to book this place (did it on vegas.com GREAT deals there!) I think we spent like a little over a hundred for two nights plus the (hate these) resort fee.
The rooms were spacious, clean and my FAVORITE THING: I couldn't smell smoke anywhere! The casino itself was beautiful. I work in a casino in Laughlin, I smell like smoke everyday and this place didn't leave my clothes or my nose with that funk.
Check in was super easy! I think it's a great idea that they have a security guard by the elevators 24/7. And they want to see your room key before you can go to the elevators. I felt really safe and I wish all casinos did this.
The one con: We got stuck in the elevator a few times because you have to use your room key to get to your floor (which they should've mentioned cuz we've never seen this) and our key would NOT work. We ended up going up to other people's floors until finally we got our key to work--the other patrons in there told us they had the same issue. They should work on that... Plus it was hard to get our keys to work in the doors to the rooms.
The room itself was really nice. We were on the 15th floor (dunno if that makes a difference) and it had a nice bathroom. The shower wasn't hard water like I have here at home and that was a plus but the water pressure wasn't the best but the water stayed hot.
No room complaints at all. Didn't smell smoke, the beds didn't hurt our backs, the AC worked great and we had wifi (which wasn't the best but we made it work).
We got our player's card upon check in which was unique. It said you got a discount in the gift shop. We went in but apparently it wasn't good on drinks (water, soda) but I looked closely at the thing and I couldn't figure out what items were discounted... Like nothing met the criteria. No big deal we just wanted something to drink in our room with the pizza we got at the mall.
Another great thing, it's right across the street from the Galleria Mall and other great stores.
They have a fatburger. It was pretty tasty and stayed open late. We played a little bit of slots but mostly walked around and checked out the pretty decor. Everybody was really nice and I liked how easy it was to navigate being that it's a good size but not crazy huge.
The one thing that was sooo odd to me was how close their slot machines were to places that minors are allowed. I don't know if their gaming rules are different (shouldn't be since it's a Nevada gaming law) but I saw several children just hanging out with their parents on slot machines. Last I checked that was a gaming law violation but nobody cared... So strange!
The cafe was pretty good too. Usually it's like going to a crappy denny's when you go into the 24 cafes in casinos but it wasn't the case for this one. Pretty yummy! Little pricey for steak and eggs though.
They seemed a bit short staffed but that didn't really affect our stay nor our great time. Check out was super easy. We just checked out on the TV and put our keys in a bin by the elevators. Parking was easy and we accidentally parked right next to where our hotel room was, what luck! :D
Overall, I think this is our new favorite casino. :D
