| - I've had a few visits to this property over the years under both the current and previous owners, and based on what I've seen, it hasn't really changed much, with the exception of maybe removing the McDonald's inside and rebranding with a new name. I recall it being one of the first properties I visited on my first trip to Vegas a decade ago, so I'll always be fond of it.
The buffet was excellent, and the mainstream restaurant kicked out the biggest slabs of prime rib I think I've ever had.
The little convenient store in the middle of the casino was always good about letting you pay for merchandise with comp points/dollars. There always seemed to be a huge selection of beer available for it being a convenient store.
I had a one night stay in one of the standard rooms in the original tower, ground floor. It seemed to be a step up from a Super 8 or maybe an Econo Lodge, but nothing too extravagant. My stay was comped, but I've seen very good pricing here if you're paying for rooms. I've heard that the newer tower and the jacuzzi suites are a bit nicer.
The check in desk area was a bit convoluted, as it seemed to be right smack dab in a corner of the mainstream casino floor. Usually best to leave your bags in the car until after check in to avoid the madness.
There have always been a good amount of local patrons in the casino, many with interesting stories to tell.
Definitely worth considering if you're looking to stay near the Strip without paying high prices (it's within walking distance), and it's directly across the street from the Hard Rock.
