| - Stayed for a couple of nights and I have no complaints. Depending on what you're looking for, this place works if you're looking for a somewhat quiet stay in Vegas. Because it's close to the Red Rock Conservatory, I opted for this hotel. Went to the pool on a Friday late afternoon, the place was scattered with kids, older couples, and singles looking to get away. Works for me.
I got the standard suite and it was spacious, clean, and had a nice view of the Red Rock canyon. The bathroom was roomy with an LCD mounted in front of the bathtub. The complimentary shampoo, conditioner, and gels were subpar, so I recommend bringing your own if you're picky about that kind of stuff. Requested extra pillows and sheets, staff came within 30 minutes.
The bar at the pool served a wide variety cocktails, but I tried the gin + tonic. Not bad, but not the best I've had. Worked for the price. Complimentary pool towels were a bit scratchy, but got the job done of drying myself from the pool.
The bar near the casino entrance had a nice ambiance with three large ceiling mounted chandeliers. Not bad, but it's not Chandelier (Cosmo). Dining options in hotel simply stink. Thankfully, plenty of excellent dining options exist within 5-10 min driving distance (check out Tivoli Square).
Overall, if you're looking for something subtle, affordable, and offers similar gaming options as on the strip, then stay here next time. Also, don't forget about the onsite movie theater and bowling alley (happy hour begins at 11 pm).
