| - casino royale? has anyone else ever heard of this? i've probably passed by it many, many times and if someone hadn't told me about it, i never would have found this place. this is seriously one of the dinkiest/run-down casino and hotel on the strip [right next to the Venetian].
here's the rundown - it is ghetto. the back entrance is under construction so the only way into the casino from there is under some tarped, wood boards resembling a hallway. heck, parking ain't even free. the rooms and hallways aren't meant for tall people. and, to make matters worse, no wi-fi. nooooooo!
i'm rating this review as if i would rate a hotel. 3 stars for AVERAGE.
however, for an impromptu labor day vegas weekend, this place has got to be one of the BEST deals you can get and still be on the strip! if you book an internet reservation for two nights, it becomes $90/night - whereas other places go well over $200 for this holiday weekend [along with everything else *coughXSfreaking$100covercough*].
also, the only part that matters really in a hotel is the part where you can recover from the craziness that is las vegas. they supposedly recently renovated the rooms. it is decent, sleep-able, and did its job.
as for the casino - my first bet was $100 on red for roulette, which would determine the outcome of the weekend [entourage style]. it landed on black. i'm not gambling here ever again.
