This hotel is located way off strip, but we wanted a retreat from the busy strip, so we knew what were getting into. The hotel was quite beautiful and impressive when you first arrive at the hotel. It's very large and is attached to a small village of shops and restaurants. Hotel grounds are on the lake and views are gorgeous. The hotel constantly reminds me of what it used to be or has potential to be. Maintenance is not kept up, around the property, which is really sad because you can tell that maybe it once was but not anymore. The village and casino maybe had a lot of people at one time but now it's just a ghost town. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, but seemed like they were bored. I don't blame them, there really wasn't too many guests staying at the hotel. Surprising since it was a busy weekend and the strip had limited rooms available. My suggestion is if you want a place for peace and quiet, this would work. Maybe market to people who would normally stay on strip to come for wine tasting, jazz or retreat like setting. Offer limo drives back and forth from strip... this is too nice of a place to let it go downhill.
