| - I was very impressed with our recent stay at Aliante. I wasn't expecting more than a mediocre room, gaming, and customer service. I was blown away with their staff. From the minute we pulled up, we were met by the valet parking attendant and then the bellman. Each person was so nice and helpful, ensuring we knew basic hotel information and their names for follow up questions. The room was very nice with above average toiletries, complimentary waters, and nice furniture. I am barely 5', so the shower head was too tall with too little pressure for me, but that is the only pseudo complaint I have. We ate breakfast one day at the Farm, and it was excellent and very reasonably priced. We also indulged in the seafood buffet, which is a steal. I am a night worker, and was in the casino a couple days in the wee morning hours, and each time a floor worker spoke to me and ensured that I was taken care of. They even stopped by to cheer me on, when I got into bonus games. I play both slots and table games. I have to say, I have never had so much fun playing blackjack or craps. Arturo had us laughing so hard that we were crying, and we spent a few hours at his table. Craps Saturday night was not only lucrative, but the dealers were impressive. I know it is a hard game to follow, but I have never seen so much teamwork with the dealers and support for the players. A few beers dictated that I wasn't always quick to replace my hard ways bets, but the dealers reminded me. I have stayed downtown and on the strip many times, but this was a very different and enjoyable experience. I hope to be back before summer's end.
