The first time I visited Vegas a couple of years ago, my hubby and I stayed here. I can honestly say that if you have a vehicle or friends that can come pick you up... or if you don't mind taking a cab to the strip... this is the spot for you. If you want to eat good on a budget, you can't beat their specials there at The Orleans (where else can you get a rib eye and eggs for a few dollars?). They got a slammin' buffet (seafood and food from all over). Remember to make a stop at Big Al's Oyster Bar... it's a must. I had fun the hotel PERIOD... the strip was bonus. Room/Turn down service there is really good. The bed's were comfy. There is NO view though... if you want a view of the mountains (ask for that) but from the window you can see the XXX stores LOL I loved it still. For our first visit, it will still good times.
