As any other older hotel on the strip, at least this place is NOT circus circus. At times even the rates are cheaper here than Motel 8...scary I know right?
The location is right in the center of the strip and right across from Caesar's...so definitely with the walkways and avoiding taxis and the inevitable traffic is great!
I would have given the hotel at least 3 stars but for a busy holiday weekend and to have a long check-in line and then to get to the room to find out that there were holes in clean pillow sheets and one of the beds smelling like smoke, I waited a total of 2 hours just to get housekeeping to come back upstairs to redo the bedding. Don't forget to check the pillows for double pillowcases (trust me, you will thank me later). From now on, that will be something else I'll have to do when I stay at any hotels in vegas (or elsewhere for that matter).
The casino sadly smelled like smoke everywhere so no matter how hard we tried to avoid the smokiness....as soon as you left the "smoke free" room....might as well consider yourself a chain smoker. Luckily I wasn't in the hotel long enough for my lungs to fill up with 2nd hand smoke!
