We made reservations and received a great price for the Carson Tower. Stephanie checked us in and was very friendly and helpful. She upgraded us to the 9th floor of the Rush Tower which made us very happy. Our family members were in one of the older rooms in the Carson Tower and said the room was just ok. They were envious of our room. It was a very nice room with a great soaking tub and a super comfortable bed! We really enjoyed our dinner at the Grotto.
We only have two "cons:" The casino is more smoky than most of the casinos on the strip. Our room faced The Fremont Experience and there is no escaping the beat of the music in your room. On Saturday night; the music didn't stop until 2pm. The earplugs the hotel provides does help. We would ask for a room on the other side next time.
