| - Oh dear.
Teetering on one star, this didn't do me any bodily harm. But it sure is annoying, run down, and in some places, disgusting. We stayed here one night on a recent NCAA tournament opening weekend, just to save money the night everyone arrived, before moving to baller-ier digs at the Venetian. It sure did save money, several hundred dollars, but...yeah.
First off, an hour wait to check in? Maybe a few more check in folks might help, guys? Maybe the security guard stationed in the check in lobby to keep order could do a better job of keeping people from just arbitrarily cutting in line? I had to do a little police work myself. The elevators and hallways smell terrible...stale body odor. But the smell thankfully didn't reach in to our room. Once I got to the room, let's just say they don't match the rest of Las Vegas. But for $70 a night? I guess you can barely complain. Beds are actually fine...bathrooms are clean...For a quick hit stay, I suppose it's fine, but if this was where I had to return to every night, I would be pretty disappointed.
Will I stay here again? I tell myself no, but money talks. If we find ourselves flying in the Wednesday before the round of 64 next year, would we do this again to save practically $400 over the cost of Venetian rooms? Yeah, we totally would. I'll just look at it is...a way to appreciate the better hotels.
But...you know what? They *did* have fitted sheets. And they had bathroom ventilation...in name only. But that means it avoids *both* lists. Maybe I like this place after all?
